Gastric sleeve surgery is the most commonly performed weight loss procedure in Houston and gastric sleeve surgery cost is the most common question we receive.

The self-pay cost for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Houston ranges from $12,000 to $16,000 depending on the hospital and your length of stay. At Houston Weight Loss Surgery Center, we offer sleeve gastrectomy at $12,900 including a one night hospital stay. After gastric sleeve surgery, you do not require frequent follow-up visits for adjustments like Lap Band patients. Furthermore, regular post-operative follow up is free.

Additional costs to consider include nutritional supplements like protein powder and vitamins. Some patients may require cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin. We typically recommend body contouring 2 years after surgery, at which point body weight will stabilize. Cosmetic surgery may be covered by insurance, depending on your plan.
