Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve gastrectomy) in Czech Republic typically costs from $10,000 to $15,000. The final price depends on the surgical technique used, the clinic location, and the patient's medical profile. Patients save around 43% compared to the US, where similar procedures cost $22,000 on average. Standard inclusions usually cover pre-operative lab tests, the surgical procedure, general anesthesia, and several nights of hospital stay with follow-up care.
