Overall, the evidence consistently supports the cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery over a lifetime, with significant economic and health benefits. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery lifetime cost-effectiveness 8/

Borisenko et al. demonstrated that bariatric surgery leads to net cost savings and substantial reductions in lifetime risks of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, with savings of €8,408 and an additional 4.1 QALYs per patient.[4] #obesity 7/

Xia et al. conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review, concluding that bariatric surgery is cost-saving over a lifetime, even without considering indirect costs The study highlighted that medication cost savings were significant post-surgery.[3] #obesity 6/

Faria et al. used a Markov model to show that gastric bypass surgery is a dominant strategy, leading to significant cost savings and increased quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) compared to best medical management. 4/

A systematic review and meta-analysis by Noparatayaporn et al. found that bariatric surgery is cost-effective in high-income countries, with a pooled incremental net monetary benefit (INB) of $101,897.96 over a lifetime horizon for mixed obesity groups (with or without diabetes).[1] 2/
