Affordable Bariatric Surgery Without Leaving the Country

Weight loss surgery is life-changing, but the high cost may keep many from pursuing it. They may consider traveling to another country, like Mexico, where surgery costs less.

But you don’t have to leave the country for affordable bariatric surgery. At Transform Bariatrics in Greenbelt and Rockville, Maryland, our bariatrician, Dr. Hitesh P. Amin, doesn’t want your financial situation to stop you from getting the expert care you need to achieve your health goals. 

We’re transparent about cost and offer affordable bariatric surgical procedures with flexible payment plans and financing options. 

The allure of medical tourism

Rising healthcare costs and long wait times make medical tourism an alluring option for individuals looking for affordable and accessible medical care. Every year, millions of Americans travel to Canada, Mexico, and other countries where medical treatments, like bariatric surgery, cost less. 

Foreign medical centers offer package deals for their weight loss procedures that may cost 40 to 80% less than you might pay in the United States. However, the reduced cost may come with more significant risks. 

Surgical facilities in other countries may not follow the same safety and regulatory guidelines as in the US, increasing the risk of post-surgical complications like infections. Additionally, the surgical packages may not include follow-up care to monitor progress and provide the ongoing support and guidance needed to meet wellness goals. 

You don’t need to travel outside the country for weight loss surgery. 

Affordable bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery in the US costs between $17,000 to $26,000, depending on the procedure. Most health insurance companies pay for surgery if you meet the criteria, but you may still have high out-of-pocket costs.

Dedicated to making weight loss surgery more accessible, we offer affordable bariatric surgery priced less than the average cost, ranging from $7,000 to $13,000. The price includes:

• The surgery.
• Unlimited physician follow-up care.
• 12 months of wellness support.
• Intravenous (IV) hydration when needed.
• 3D body scanning to see body composition changes. 

Because we wanted you to focus on healing and not stress over finances after surgery, we offer flexible payment plans and low-interest, long-term financing options.

Are you ready?

If cost keeps you from getting weight loss surgery, it’s time to schedule a consultation with our team. After completing a thorough evaluation, we can discuss your weight loss options, including medical weight loss and the types of bariatric surgery that can help you meet your goals. 

Our experienced bariatric surgeon performs noninvasive and minimally invasive weight loss surgeries, such as gastric balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. These nonsurgical and outpatient procedures can reduce the total cost of care.

We help you verify insurance coverage and walk you through the approval process. We can develop a payment plan if you don’t have insurance coverage or the out-of-pocket costs are high. 

Don’t go to another country for weight loss surgery. Call us today or request an appointment online to schedule a consultation with our bariatric team to learn about our safe and affordable treatment options.
