About the cost of gastric sleeve surgery
When you are looking into the cost of a sleeve gastrectomy surgery, there are a couple of important aspects to consider. All patients for weight loss surgery (or bariatric surgery) should consider being in a private health fund in order to access the services at less expense.
If you have a current GP referral and have been identified as a gastric sleeve surgery candidate, we strongly advise you call your Private Health Insurance provider, to discuss any rebates for Bariatric Surgery, to which you may be entitled.
Bariatric surgery services are offered to patients between the age of 18 up, and the surgeon does not participate in any private health insurer’s “gap scheme”.
We aim to make the procedure affordable, with a revision of our fees. For the total out of pocket costs, please call us on (08) 9386 2634.

Before a gastric sleeve procedure
Speak to your GP about your personal situation, to get a clear view on your weight loss options. Your GP will help you determine if you are a candidate for laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery.
A sleeve gastrectomy is irreversible and it is important to be well informed before you make a decision. It will require a commitment to a healthy diet after your operation, and to an exercise regimen to maintain your weight loss. The surgery involves a 1-2% risk of either a leak or a bleed from the staple line. This complication requires surgery to treat.

Gastric sleeve cost and what to expect
Weight loss surgery means a financial commitment. It also requires a commitment to a healthy diet and exercise regime after the surgery so you can maintain your weight loss. Your GP can help you determine if you are a suitable candidate for a laparoscopic gastric sleeve operation. If there are any complications after your initial surgery our surgical doctors will try to limit any future costs for your ongoing treatments. We understand that.
