The cost of stomach stapling (gastric stapling) in Spain typically ranges from $8,500 to $14,000. Prices can vary depending on the type of stapling procedure (vertical banded gastroplasty or sleeve gastrectomy), the clinic, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $24,000 (per ASMBS). This means stomach stapling in Spain is about 53% less expensive than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op assessments, general anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay, post-op medications, and initial follow-up visits. In the U.S., many of these services—such as anesthesia, hospital fees, and aftercare—are billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm exactly what’s covered with your chosen clinic.
