When you begin researching bariatric surgery, one of the first questions you’re likely to ask is, “How much is weight loss surgery in the UK?” It’s a fair question, and while prices vary depending on the procedure, hospital, and level of aftercare, what matters most is the quality and safety of the care you receive.
Understanding the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery in the UK
Weight loss surgery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Procedures such as the gastric band, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and SADIS all work differently, and that’s reflected in their cost.
At Phoenix Health, we believe in complete transparency. This article provides an overview of starting prices for each procedure and guidance on factors that influence cost, so you can make an informed decision about your options.

Private Weight Loss Surgery vs NHS Options
For many people in the UK, the journey to weight loss surgery through the NHS can be a long and uncertain one. Waiting lists are often extensive, and eligibility criteria can make access difficult — leaving some patients feeling stuck, even when they are ready to make a change.
Choosing private treatment can offer a faster alternative. With Phoenix Health, you can begin your journey without delay, gain direct access to your consultant, and benefit from flexible appointment times that fit your schedule.

Why Choose a UK Weight Loss Surgery Provider Over an Overseas Surgery Provider?
You may come across many adverts promoting Turkey weight loss surgery, often highlighting cheaper prices. However, it’s important to look beyond cost alone. Many overseas packages do not include the same level of follow-up care, clinical accountability, or access to your surgeon once you return home.
At Phoenix Health, everything is managed within the UK, from consultation to surgery and long-term follow-up, giving you peace of mind and consistent medical support. So, what makes Phoenix Health different? We focus on more than just the operation. Our approach supports every aspect of your health and recovery.
Patients benefit from:
- Ongoing access to dietitians, psychologists, and bariatric nurses
- Comprehensive aftercare and dedicated support groups
- Consultant-led follow-up care for long-term success
You can read real patient experiences on our Patient Stories page. Many describe not only physical improvements but also the emotional and lifestyle transformations that come with choosing Phoenix Health.
