Same-Day, Self-Pay Sleeve Gastrectomy Available — Starting at $13,000!
If you’ve been considering bariatric surgery but are looking for an affordable, efficient option, New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery in Knoxville, TN, offers a Same-Day, Self-Pay Sleeve Gastrectomy starting at just $13,000 for eligible patients!
Under the expert care of Bariatric Surgeon Dr. K. Robert Williams, Medical Director of the Parkwest Center for Bariatric Surgery, qualified patients can undergo a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on an outpatient basis — meaning you can have your surgery and return home the same day.
This streamlined option is ideal for appropriate patients who meet the medical criteria for safe same-day discharge and who want to move forward without the delay of insurance approval. For those who qualify, it’s a powerful step toward lasting weight loss and a healthier future.
What Is a Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as the gastric sleeve, is one of the most effective and popular bariatric surgery procedures available today. During the procedure, Dr. Williams removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that limits food intake and helps control hunger.
This minimally invasive surgery promotes significant and sustained weight loss by:
- Reducing hunger hormones (ghrelin)
- Helping you feel full with smaller portions
- Supporting long-term improvements in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea
Most patients experience rapid weight loss within the first 12 months, followed by steady progress toward their goal weight.
Affordable, Transparent Pricing
The self-pay sleeve gastrectomy starts at $13,000, which includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and hospital facility charges.
For added peace of mind, patients may also choose to add expanded BLIS coverage for an additional $500, providing enhanced protection should unexpected complications occur.
Dr. Williams and his experienced bariatric team will guide you through every step — from your initial consultation to your postoperative care, ensuring that you receive the safest, most compassionate care possible.
Please note: not all patients will qualify for same-day surgery. Eligibility depends on individual health factors, including BMI, medical history, and other risk considerations. Dr. Williams will determine whether an outpatient procedure is appropriate for you during your comprehensive evaluation.
