Pay Only Half The Cost Of Out-Of-Pocket Expenses*

Living an active life and enjoying the great outdoors is a philosophy shared by many Australians; however, with so many Australians suffering from the effects of being overweight or obese, leading an active and healthy lifestyle and having this quality of life is becoming increasingly challenging.  

Making Gastric Banding Financially Viable

WLSA recognised the need to make gastric banding more accessible to Australians by offering lap band surgery at half the normal out-of-pocket costs for patients with Private Health cover, with a minimum of Basic Hospital. If you do not have private health insurance, you are still eligible to save $2500 off the cost of the surgery.
