Gastric Sleeve Cost in Egypt 2026 | Dr. Yasser Elbasatiny

Gastric sleeve cost in Egypt depends less on the operation itself than on everything around it: the hospital, the nights you stay, the staplers, the tests and the follow-up. This page is part of our guide to bariatric surgery.

We do not publish a fixed price here, because the price depends on each patient’s case and is given on request after the consultation, and because a number without its contents means little. Instead, this page explains what moves the total, what a fair quote should list, and how to get a current one from Dr. Yasser’s team.

What drives gastric sleeve cost in Egypt

Two quotes for the same operation can differ because they include different things. The main drivers are listed below; ask about each one before you compare figures.

Price driver	Why it changes the total	What to ask
Hospital class	Room, theatre, recovery and nursing charges differ widely between hospitals.	Which hospital, what room type, and is intensive care available on site?
Surgeon and team	The quote may or may not include the anaesthetist, assistant surgeon and nursing team.	Who operates, and are all professional fees included?
Technique and staplers	A sleeve divides the stomach with surgical staples (NHS); the number and type of stapler cartridges is a large part of the bill.	How many cartridges are included, and what if more are needed?
Length of stay	Most people stay one to three days (NHS); a longer stay costs more.	How many nights are included, and what does an extra night cost?
Tests before surgery	Blood and urine tests, X-rays and scans are part of the assessment (NHS).	Which tests are included, and can recent results be reused?
Follow-up and nutrition	Follow-up is needed for at least the first two years, then yearly (NHS).	How many follow-up and dietitian visits are included?

What a written quote should include

A useful quote is written, dated and itemised, so you can see what you are paying for and compare it fairly. Ask for these items to be listed by name:

The surgeon’s, assistant’s and anaesthetist’s fees
The hospital, its room type and the number of nights included
Theatre charges, stapler cartridges and other disposable items
Tests before surgery and any medicines given in hospital
Follow-up visits with the surgeon and the dietitian, and for how long
What happens to the bill if you need an extra night or a further procedure
How long the quote is valid

A quote is only final after the consultation and tests, because they decide whether a sleeve is the right operation for you at all.

Costs to ask about before you agree

Some costs sit outside the hospital bill. Before surgery, many programmes ask for a two-week liquid diet (Cleveland Clinic), and the assessment can include blood and urine tests, X-rays and scans (NHS).

After surgery, you need vitamin and mineral supplements and regular check-ups for life, often with blood tests and dietary advice (NHS). Some people develop gallstones with fast weight loss, and loose skin after large weight loss may need surgery that is usually treated as cosmetic (NHS). None of these are certain, but they belong in your budget.

Why a very low price deserves questions

A price far below others is not proof of a problem, but it is a reason to ask what is missing. The usual gaps are fewer stapler cartridges, a smaller hospital without intensive care, fewer nights, tests charged separately, or no structured follow-up.

Leaks, bleeding and blood clots are uncommon but serious complications of weight-loss surgery (NHS). What matters is who will see you, and where, if one happens at night or a week after you go home. Ask that question plainly; a clear answer is worth more than a lower figure.

How to get a current gastric sleeve quote from Dr. Yasser’s team

The quickest route is WhatsApp. Send your weight, height and age, any long-term conditions such as diabetes or reflux, and details of any previous abdominal surgery. You can work out your BMI first with our BMI calculator.

The team will reply with the next step and an up-to-date written estimate once Dr. Yasser has seen you and the tests are done. For payment by instalments, ask the clinic about payment options. If you are still deciding between operations, read about the gastric sleeve itself or the non-surgical gastric balloon, or book a consultation with Dr. Yasser in New Cairo or at Cleopatra Hospitals.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a gastric sleeve cost in Egypt?

There is no single honest figure, because the total depends on the hospital, the surgical team, the stapler cartridges, the nights in hospital, the tests and the follow-up included. The price depends on your case and is given on request, so send your details on WhatsApp and ask for a current, dated and itemised written quote after your consultation.

Does the price of a gastric sleeve include follow-up?

It depends on the quote, which is why you should ask. After a sleeve you need follow-up for at least the first two years and then yearly check-ups, plus supplements for life. A good quote says how many surgeon and dietitian visits are included and for how long, and what later blood tests cost.

Are tests before surgery included in the price?

Sometimes, but not always. The assessment usually includes blood and urine tests, X-rays and scans to look for problems such as ulcers, hernias or blood clots. Ask which tests are in the quote, which are charged separately, and whether recent results you already have can be used instead of repeating them.

Can I pay for a gastric sleeve in instalments?

Ask the clinic about payment options when you request your quote on WhatsApp. Whatever you agree, make sure the written quote lists what is included, how long the price is valid, and what happens to the bill if you need an extra night in hospital or a further procedure.
