Hello Handsome
Here is some research on "fat camps" collected in one place. This is a starting point.
I am of the belief that you should try to do it for two months. In that time you could probably lose 100 lbs and explore the bariatric surgery, or just continue on your weight loss journey. All pretty much have the same formula. Live in a private room with all meals customized and provided by chefs, and then guided workouts throughout the day and then a focus on nutritional education and therapy to help with the mental side of things. I'm sorry to tell you that they are all expensive.
Choices
If you stayed beyond 4 weeks, that is considered an "extended stay. " I've included some info below from their website to give you an overview. It was difficult to find out how much they charge, but evidently it may be 5k a week. There are less expensive choices out there, but I believe this one may be the "best" for many reasons.
​
We are not a "fat camp." We provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary care in a comfortable and autonomous residentially-based setting for adults struggling with healthy weight management, obesity, binge eating or other types of emotionally-based overeating, and weight-related health problems including Type 2 Diabetes. We support those wanting to make healthy lifestyle changes to support their weight and health goals.

This is a highly rated weight loss solution. It appears that the cost is ~$4700 a week, but I imagine you could wheel and deal your way into a better rate. I don't seen anything about gambling and points at any of these places though!
