Compare verified clinics offering Gastric Sleeve, with all-inclusive packages. Free video consult with every surgeon before you decide.
A plain-English guide to gastric sleeve abroad — real price ranges, how to judge a clinic, and how the trip actually works.
Bariatric surgery — gastric sleeve, bypass and revision procedures — is the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity, typically resolving or improving type-2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnoea alongside the weight itself. It is metabolic surgery with lifelong follow-up, not a cosmetic shortcut.
A gastric sleeve abroad typically costs €3,200–€4,500 all-inclusive against £10,000–£13,000 privately in the UK — with high-volume bariatric hospitals, pre-op screening and the hospital stay included. Volume matters clinically here: complication rates fall sharply in centres doing hundreds of cases a year.
Non-negotiables: a full pre-operative workup (bloods, endoscopy where indicated, anaesthetic review), an on-site ICU, and a structured follow-up protocol with your home continuity planned — nutrition reviews, supplement schedules and blood monitoring for the first year. GetClinic packages include the 12-month follow-up programme.
Expect 2–3 nights in hospital and 5–7 days in-country before flying. The staged diet (liquids → purée → soft → normal) runs over six weeks, and your aftercare programme schedules video reviews with the bariatric team plus dietitian check-ins through the first year.
Share your case once — photos and a short history. Up to three verified clinics review it and return fixed, all-inclusive written quotes, usually within 24 hours. You meet the treating doctor on a free video consultation before committing to anything, pay nothing to be matched, and every package includes 12 months of structured aftercare after you're home.
Sleeve is the most common first operation; bypass is often preferred with severe reflux or long-standing diabetes. It's a surgical judgement based on your BMI, comorbidities and history — made in your video consultation, not by a menu.
Typically BMI 35+, or 30+ with weight-related conditions such as type-2 diabetes. Clinics on GetClinic screen honestly — being declined for safety reasons is a feature, not a failure.
A 12-month structured programme: staged-diet guidance, supplement protocol, scheduled video reviews with the surgical team and dietitian, and escalation to your coordinator if anything looks off.
Typical excess-weight loss is 55–70% in the first 12–18 months, sustained with the follow-up programme. Outcomes vary by procedure and adherence — your surgeon quotes ranges for your profile, never guarantees.
