The cost of a gastric balloon in Germany typically ranges from $3,700 to $5,100. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the type of balloon used (6- or 12-month models), and whether additional aftercare is included. In the U.S., the average cost is $8,000 (per ASMBS). This means gastric balloon procedures in Germany are about 45% less expensive than in the United States.
German clinics often include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-procedure medication, follow-up consultations, and 24/7 patient support. English-speaking staff and personalized treatment plans are standard. In the U.S., prices often cover just the procedure, with follow-up, medication, and support billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
