At 16 years old I weighed my heaviest. I was 420 pounds. I went through a two-year roller coaster ride trying to get approved for gastric bypass surgery. Most doctors didn't want to perform the surgery because of my age. Considering I was never allowed to ride on a real roller coaster, this was one that seemed like it would never stop.

With my failing health, I knew that every day my time was limited. Dr. Marvin and Bariatric Surgery Specialists changed my life in October 2004.

I had the surgery and the weight truly just melted away along with all my health problems.

I lost over 220 pounds in less than 2 years!

I dropped from a 56-inch waist to a size 34. Life is great. I am happy, healthy and starting college in the fall without a handicap parking space. I feel so blessed to have gone through this journey with the love and support of my family and the staff at BSS and Renaissance Hospital.

Now, thanks to the surgery, I am living a normal life. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful new life you have given me.

–What does it cost?


Thank you for inquiring about this surgery

In many cases your insurance will cover all/most of the cost of this surgery.
If you want to pay cash, the cost can be as low as $10,000 **cost varies region to region

Another good reason to have surgery is that our patients have told us that weight loss surgery can reduce your monthly food bill as much as 50% or more

What is your average monthly food bill?
Using $ as your cost per month you could save on food expense over the next 5 years alone.



Besides the significantly higher food costs, medical costs are dramatically higher to those suffering from morbid obesity
