How much does weight loss surgery cost?

What are the prices of weight loss surgery?
Prices for weight loss surgery sometimes known as bariatric surgery are very variable and it is often difficult to compare prices for different packages of care because some packages offer more than others.

It could be tempting to look at the cheapest option, weight loss surgery abroad can be very appealing but remember that the advertised cost of the surgery will often not include:

Flights/travel for you and a companion
The hotel stay for your companion and for you to recuperate in after the operation before returning home
Medications
Specialised and costly travel insurance for surgery or medical treatment abroad
The cost of travel for follow up treatments

And perhaps one of the most important aspects:

Aftercare and support from Specialist Bariatric Nurses and Dietitians

What appears to be an economical option can be much more expensive in the long run.

Surgery aftercare
It is widely recognised that weight loss surgery patients who do not have regular follow up do not lose as much weight or have sustained weight loss. They can run into significant extra costs for diagnostic checks to assess their procedures, and for the aftercare they need. Bariatric surgery patients always need expert support and guidance, in extreme cases where patients have not had support and aftercare, complete revision of procedures may be required.

Try to compare costs realistically rather than making a false economy, what price do you put upon your health and long term success?

At Vita Clinics we only offer weight loss surgery/bariatric procedures with a minimum of 2 years aftercare. Our prices always include this essential element, whichever procedure you choose, from gastric bypass or stomach stapling, gastric banding or lap band.
