The cost of metabolic surgery in Spain typically ranges from $12,000 to $18,000. Prices can vary based on the type of procedure (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy), the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, and whether it’s a primary or revision surgery. In the United States, the average price is $28,500 (according to ASMBS). This means metabolic surgery in Spain is about 47% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op assessments, the surgery itself, anesthesia, hospital stay, standard implants or devices, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgery, with separate bills for anesthesia, hospital stay, and post-op care. Always confirm what’s included in your package before booking.
