Considering private gastric band/lap band surgery? At GoPrivate.com, we have over 20 years' experience matching patients with private bariatric surgeons, hospitals and clinics.

Gastric band surgery, also known as lap band surgery, is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure designed to help individuals struggling with obesity. This treatment is typically performed by a bariatric surgeon, a specialist trained in surgical weight loss techniques. The procedure involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch that limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness. If left untreated, obesity can lead to serious health complications, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnoea, making timely intervention crucial for long-term health.

For an initial consultation regarding gastric band surgery, you can expect fees to range from £200 to £300. It is important to note that the overall costs for surgery or treatment can vary significantly based on the hospital, location, and complexity of the procedure.
