What it is
A sleeve gastrectomy removes most of the stomach through small cuts, leaving a narrow tube-shaped stomach that holds much less food. It is a weight-loss (bariatric) operation for people with severe obesity, often with related conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating room and recovery and may not include the hospital stay. The surgeon, anesthesia, pathology, pre-surgery tests and follow-up visits are usually billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospitals and surgery programs and with length of stay; some programs sell bundled self-pay packages priced differently from the hospital's listed code price.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 43775 includes the surgeon, anesthesia, the hospital stay and pre-surgery testing, or is the facility piece only.

Common questions
How long will I stay in the hospital?
Often one or two nights, though some patients go home sooner. The surgical team will decide.
How is a sleeve different from a gastric bypass?
A sleeve removes part of the stomach without rerouting the intestine, while a gastric bypass (43644) makes a small stomach pouch and connects it to the small intestine.
