Watch as our doctors and patients discuss the financial cost of obesity and paying for surgery. One surgeon estimates the cost of obesity in the U.S. at $200 billion annually. Medicare and the Affordable Care Act do cover surgery for weight loss and some insurance plans may cover plastic surgery for skin reduction after extreme weight loss.
