Cost of Bypass Private? - WLSurgery.com

PurpleKylie22 · 25th January, 2012

Im sorry its a really personal question and I hate to ask someone, I know every case is different and prices arent the same for everyone anyway.

I was talking to my mum and she wanted to know how much a Bypass costs. I told her 10-15k, she said "you mean £1,500" I told her no! its actually 10-15k... well I know she cant afford it no matter how much she would like to. Shes on disability benefits and has a few k at the very most in her bank.

So she is determined to know how much it actually costs, I saw one website saying £10.950 but I don't know if thats including aftercare? And I dont have even £19.50 in my bank at the minute so I don't want to waste clinics time asking them how much it would cost... Wondered if anyone would be so kind as to give me an idea of how much they made and where they had surgery? Thank you very much

I paid just under 10,000 but that was 16 months ago the price also covers me for 2 years after care and I go back every 3 months.

Hi,

I paid just shy of 9k with WLS group. They also provide a good level of aftercare. The surgeon I chose has been doing the ops so long he now teaches other people how to do it and was even featured on a BBC programme. Good luck

I was told it costs the nhs 11k!

OOnion · 25th January, 2012

I have been looking at this today...as so sick of waiting I am thinking of going private if I can scrap the money together. It's already been a year, spoke to secretary again today and got the same message I get every month "we are still doing people from Oct 10" ! Grrhhhhhhh

I was amazed to see that some of the companies charge and extra £1,000 if your BMI is over 50 - they seem to be between 8,500 and 12,00...I wonder what you get for your extra thousand, a bigger bed, more drugs ???
Good luck in your quest xx

I'm afraid I'm like you, I cant manage it. My mum was refusing to believe it was so expensive I think lol, if it was 1.5K I think a lot more people would've had it!
Maybe one day I will be able to afford it... I don't know. I'm not working and I have three kids, so it is unlikely, but you never know.
I just need to find a very rich very old man (who has a thing for big women) lol
