Cost of gastric sleeve without insurane



Recommended Posts

I'm lucky because in Italy this kind of surgery can be paid by the welfare state (if you are in certain health and economic conditions, evaluated every time ).

I could'nt afford this cost, that is very expensive here too, when self paid.

I'm happy to pay taxes to have a public health system.

Mine was £3600 (about $5400) based on the UK but flew to the Czech Republic to lower the cost.

It is because i am high risk because my BMI is almost 60 so it costs me more as they have to have extra medical staff during the operation for me. The cost also includes flights, my companion's expenses and ongoing support. The $17k i didnt mention is in Canadian dollars too. With the current exchange it works out to about $13k US

That is still insane high. Which Dr?

I had a high BMI and was about $6000 US for everything you listed above. Including the flights from Canada, follow up care, etc.
