Gastric Banding Cost For Privately Insured Patients   This practice aims to make the laparoscopic adjustable band affordable to families in Victoria.  We believe all clients should have access to weight loss surgery at an affordable price.   The out of pocket expense in most cases is less than $2100.   The surgical fee covers the primary operation and any subsequent secondary operation required by this practice to correct any port problems. It also entitles the patient to life long reduced fees for surgical follow up and band adjustments which are approximately 95% rebatable.   Tax Rebate Scheme   Please keep our tax invoices for out of pocket expenses and submit with your tax return for the financial year for possible further rebates of 20% - approx. $400.  Further details can be found on the Australian Taxation Office website.   Not Privately Insured?   Non insured patients should contact our rooms for other options.
