The Unexpected Costs of Weight-Loss Surgery
9:00AM 1/07/2011
For those burdened by a lifetime of obesity, the cost of weight-loss surgery is well worth it, especially if they are covered by good medical insurance. The gastric bypass, the most popular form of weight-loss surgery to date, can cost from $20,000 to $35,000. However, that's not the grand total;...

I'm in week five of the Money Diet, where I try to lose weight by counting how much I'm saving every week by not eating junk food. And it's still working. I'm really pretty shocked by my weight loss.
