How Much Does Gastric band Cost in Spain?
The cost of gastric band surgery in Spain typically ranges from $7,500 to $11,500. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the type of gastric band device used, and whether aftercare is included. In the United States, the average cost is $17,000 (per ASMBS). This means gastric band surgery in Spain is about 44% less expensive than in the U.S.
Spanish clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op assessments, anesthesia, surgery, the gastric band device, hospital stay, and standard follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgery and device, with separate billing for pre-op tests, anesthesia, and follow-up care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
