A member asked:
What is the difference in cost between a gastric sleeve and a lap band?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Prices for each surgery vary based on the region you live and demand.The band has become less popular over the last few years with the subsequent rise in sleeve procedures.As of this year, the sleeve has become the most common weight loss procedure in the USA. As a result band prices tend to be a little cheaper than the sleeve.Difference can be as much as $5,000-6,000.In my area, price is the same
