Adjustable Gastric Banding
Adjustable gastric banding, considered a type of Bariatric surgery, involves placing a silicone band around the top of the stomach in a 30-minute surgical procedure. The band, which can be adjusted over time, restricts the passage of food into the stomach, making patients feel full faster. Even though you’re eating less, you will feel satisfied and no longer hungry.
Adjustable Gastric Banding Costs
Adjustable gastric band surgery can cost anywhere from $8.000 to $18,000. These costs can vary widely and the average fee referenced above does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses.
The cost for these surgeries vary based on experience, the type of procedure used, as well as geographic office location.
Adjustable Gastric Banding and Insurance Coverage
Health insurance plans may cover gastric bypass surgery, or at least a portion of it. However your surgeon or clinic may need to obtain authorization from your insurer for the surgery and may require also require further submissions to qualify. Once an authorization is obtained, you will be able to schedule your surgery. You will be responsible for any co-pays or deductible required by your insurer.
Surgical weight loss procedures can be expensive, but when you consider how much you have spent on traditional diets, the hidden costs of being overweight (plus-sized clothing, prescription medications, time off work for weight-related health issues) and just not being the best you, the benefits of a long-term solution become more obvious. Intragastric balloon surgery is a one-time investment in the rest of your life.
