What a gastric sleeve costs at home (private)

Country	Private price	Source
United Kingdom	about £8,400-14,000	PrivateHealth.co.uk survey of 21 UK private providers (May 2025); for example Spire Bristol lists about £13,260 including the first consultation
Ireland	about €10,700 or more	Irish private clinics rarely publish a full self-pay price; one Dublin clinic advertises its gastric sleeve plan from €297 a month over up to 36 months (Auralia, about €10,700 in total). Irish private health insurance may cover surgery at home if you meet the criteria (Blackrock WeightCare)
Australia	about A$18,000-25,000	published self-funded prices from Epworth Centre for Bariatric Surgery (Melbourne) and Central Coast Surgery (NSW), checked October 2026
New Zealand	about NZ$19,150-24,000	published price lists of four NZ bariatric surgeons (JR Surgery, Auckland Weight Loss Surgery, Auckland Bariatric Surgery, Barnaby Smith Surgical), checked October 2026

Public systems: surgery is free if you qualify, but places are limited and waits are long. About 500 people a year can have publicly funded bariatric surgery in New Zealand (Health NZ, reported by RNZ / NZ Herald, November 2025).

Insurance and complications

Travel insurance: basic policies rarely cover medical travel - you pay for treatment and for anything that goes wrong (SafeTravel NZ, Smartraveller). Look for cover that includes complications and medical evacuation, and tell the insurer about the surgery.
Complication insurance: required by Turkish law for international surgical patients and included by most providers. On the NewMe Comfort package, for example, complication insurance from Demir Sağlık ve Hayat Sigorta is included: its Essential plan covers up to €2,500 for treating a complication in Turkey, for 6 months, but not in the first 7 days after surgery or discharge. You can extend it before surgery: Plus (+€99) raises cover to €5,000 and adds up to €500 for treatment at home, plus a return flight (up to €500) and hotel (up to €1,000) if you need to come back; Premium (+€129) is Plus with cover from day 1. Other providers' policies differ - check your quote. No plan covers the original surgery, malpractice claims, rehabilitation, conditions unrelated to the surgery, or anything after 6 months; further treatment is normally at the same hospital unless the insurer agrees otherwise. Travel insurance is separate - tell your insurer about the surgery.
At home: public hospitals treat emergencies, but costs of complications after surgery abroad are usually not recoverable from the overseas clinic. New Zealanders: Health NZ says you will not be eligible for ACC support for complications after weight loss surgery overseas.

Why prices vary

The surgeon - experience and how many sleeves they do a year
The hospital and how many nights you stay
What is included - hotel, transfers, medication, protein, dietitian support and follow-up
Your health - extra tests or a longer stay if you need them

A very low price usually means less is included. Compare written quotes line by line.

Cost questions

How much is a gastric sleeve in Turkey?

From €2,200. Surgeon & hospital packages from named surgeons on &NewMe cost €2,200-€3,000 (live prices, 8 October 2026); they include the operation, anaesthesia and the hospital stay. Full packages that add the hotel, transfers, medication and dietitian support are priced per country - from Ireland, for example, €3,990. Flights and travel insurance are extra. See what is included and the price for each surgeon.

Why is the full package price different in each country?

Full packages are priced per market, in your currency, and the price in your written quote is the one you pay. Compare the package for where you live with the cost of private surgery there.

How much should I budget in total?

Roughly: about NZ$7,900-9,100 from New Zealand, about £3,650-3,850 from the UK and about €4,200-4,450 from Ireland, including the package and return flights (estimates) - plus travel insurance and any extra nights.

Is complication insurance included?

Yes, on most full packages - Turkish law requires it for international patients. On the NewMe Comfort package, for example, complication insurance from Demir Sağlık ve Hayat Sigorta is included: its Essential plan covers up to €2,500 for treating a complication in Turkey, for 6 months, but not in the first 7 days after surgery or discharge. You can extend it before surgery: Plus (+€99) raises cover to €5,000 and adds up to €500 for treatment at home, plus a return flight (up to €500) and hotel (up to €1,000) if you need to come back; Premium (+€129) is Plus with cover from day 1. Other providers' policies differ - check your quote.

No plan covers the original surgery, malpractice claims, rehabilitation, conditions unrelated to the surgery, or anything after 6 months; further treatment is normally at the same hospital unless the insurer agrees otherwise. Travel insurance is separate - tell your insurer about the surgery.

Does a companion cost extra?

On the NewMe Comfort package (and most full packages on &NewMe) one companion stays free - in your hospital room and at the hotel, with meals. They only pay for their own flight (and any extra nights you add). Check your quote.

Is the cheapest offer the best value?

Not always. Check the surgeon's name, the hospital, how many nights are included, aftercare and written refund rules - a lower price usually means less is included.

How long do I need to stay?

Providers typically require at least 2 nights in hospital and at least 1 night in a hotel before you fly home. The exact length depends on the provider and package - your written quote shows it. You fly home once your surgeon confirms you are fit to fly.

Can I pay with KiwiSaver?

New Zealanders may be able to apply for early release on hardship (medical treatment) or serious illness grounds - your provider decides. See the KiwiSaver guide.
