The main constraint to the uptake of bariatric and metabolic surgery in the Singapore context is the cost of the procedure. The main cost is however not the Surgeon's fee. Two major components are the fascility fee charged by the hospital and the cost of the disposable staplers used to perfom the surgery.
Patients now have the hope of reducing these two components. Some of the simpler procedures can now be done as day surgery. Yes, it has now become that safe and routine. The Fascility fee can now be cut to around one third. A good surgeon can also minimize the number of staplers used thus saving some cost.
The operations are now far more affordable.
