Gastric band surgery, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss. A silicone band is placed around the upper stomach, creating a smaller pouch that restricts food intake. Unlike other bariatric procedures, the gastric band is adjustable and reversible, providing a unique level of flexibility.

In the United States, the average cost of gastric band surgery ranges from $15,000 to $25,000, depending on the facility and surgeon. At CER Bariatrics, the cost starts at just $6,500, which includes:

• Pre-operative consultations: Comprehensive health assessments to ensure patient eligibility.
• Hospital fees: Surgery performed in a certified hospital with state-of-the-art technology.
• Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees: Experienced board-certified bariatric specialists.
• Post-operative care: Follow-up consultations and support to monitor your progress.

The significantly lower gastric band cost in Tijuana is not a reflection of lower quality but rather of economic differences. Lower living costs, competitive healthcare pricing, and government support for medical tourism allow CER Bariatrics to provide high-quality care at an accessible price.
