The cost of gastric band surgery in Mexico typically ranges from $4,500 to $5,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s bariatric experience, and whether advanced laparoscopic techniques are used. In the United States, the average cost is $18,500 (per ASMBS). This means gastric band surgery in Mexico is about 73% less than in the U.S.
Most Mexican clinics include pre-op labs, anesthesia, the gastric band device, the surgery itself, hospital stay, and follow-up adjustments. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgery, with band fills, anesthesia, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen provider.
