WOW, I had no idea that the cost between the RNY and

the DS was so much. ANYONE know why?

Does anyone know how much Dr. Baltasar is charging for the surgery?

Hi, I had surgery with Dr. B. four+ months ago. He was charging

$10,500 for Morbidly Obese patients, and $11,500 for Super Obese

patients. I think it is still the same. These prices include

hospitalization for about 9 days. If you stay longer, or have

additional procedures, you pay more (hospital daily fee is $80).
