How Much Does Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve gastrectomy) Cost in Germany?

The cost of gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) in Germany typically ranges from $16,000 to $23,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon experience, and whether the surgery is laparoscopic or open. In the United States, the average cost is $22,000 (per ASMBS). This means gastric sleeve surgery in Germany is about 11% less than in the U.S.

German clinics usually include pre-op consultations, all necessary lab tests, anesthesia, the hospital stay (2–5 days), the surgery itself, and routine post-op follow-up. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital charges, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your German clinic’s quote.

My visit was not so perfect, they were not so professional as I wish. The doctor was good but we have large problems with communication and I feel how he felt uncomfortable about it but cannot do anything with it. That is why I denied to do the operation there and only have a consultation They do not know that I do not speak German but only English I want to say thank you to Lesya, her job was good.

"not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story"
Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.
