The cost of a gastric balloon procedure in Austria typically ranges from $5,000 to $8,000. Prices can vary based on the balloon type (6- or 12-month, Orbera, Spatz, or Allurion), the clinic, and the physician’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $12,500 (per ASMBS). This means gastric balloon treatment in Austria is about 48% less expensive than in the U.S.
In Austria, the price usually covers the initial consultation, the gastric balloon device, endoscopic placement under sedation, and follow-up visits for balloon monitoring and removal. In the U.S., the listed price often excludes pre-op tests, anesthesia, and aftercare, which are billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
