What does it cost ?
We understand that cost is an important part of your decision-making. Most of our weight loss procedures are offered at a fixed price, so you’ll know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.
Depending on your policy, your health insurer may contribute towards the cost of surgery and consultations. We’re happy to help with this and can provide a letter for your insurer if needed.
We also offer payment plans through Nova Finance, making it easier to spread the cost. You can find more details here.
If you need to change or cancel an appointment, we just ask for at least 24 hours’ notice, otherwise a cancellation fee may apply.

Dietitian & health psychologist consultations (including GST)
At Auckland Weight Loss Surgery, we take a comprehensive and holistic approach to your care. We don’t believe in shortcuts when it comes to your health and long-term success. That’s why, as part of your bariatric surgery assessment, you’ll have an initial 60-minute pre-operative consultation with both our specialist dietitian and health psychologist (costs below). It may be that a follow up consult will be required with one or both of these professionals before surgery. These sessions are an essential part of preparing for surgery and ensuring the best possible outcomes for you, both physically and emotionally.
Your journey doesn’t end with surgery. To support your continued progress, six follow-up consultations with our dietitian are included in the cost of your surgery. These can be used at any time within two years after your procedure. You are also able to see our health psychologist again at any time during your journey with us (costs below).
