What it is

This operation removes an adjustable gastric band and the port under the skin through small cuts. It is done when the band slips, erodes into the stomach, causes symptoms or does not lead to enough weight loss.

What the price covers

The facility price usually covers the operating room and recovery and may not include the hospital stay. The surgeon, anesthesia, pre-surgery tests and follow-up visits are usually billed separately.
