The estimate cost for gastric band surgery starts from £5,995. This guide price includes hospital, surgeon and anaesthetist fees.
It also includes pre-operative assessments and education clinics before surgery and two years of band adjustments and on-going support post-op.
If you have already researched into your weight loss options and are ready to proceed with surgery, then we can offer you an initial consultation with one of our weight loss specialists.
This is to discuss your individual options on a one to one basis, and it also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
The fee for an initial consultation is £150 and can usually be booked within 2 weeks.
The timescale from an initial consultation to surgery is on average 5 - 6 weeks. This is due to the pre-operative assessments and education clinics that you would be required to attend before surgery.
