Weight-loss surgery
Pre-op records translated for your surgical consult, a bilingual liaison through admission, procedure, and discharge, dietary and recovery coordination, and follow-up after discharge.
Conditions & symptoms
Obesity, type-2 diabetes, and other conditions we coordinate around
This coordination is for patients dealing with obesity meeting surgical thresholds, type-2 diabetes that is hard to control, or weight-related health problems. We arrange pre-op records translation, a bilingual liaison through admission and discharge, dietary and recovery coordination, and follow-up — while every medical decision stays with your surgical team.
- Obesity meeting surgical BMI thresholds
- Type-2 diabetes that is difficult to control alongside obesity
- Obesity with hypertension or sleep apnea
- Weight that did not change after diet and lifestyle programs
- Weight regain after earlier approaches
This list describes who this coordination is arranged around — it is not a diagnosis. Whether any procedure suits your condition is decided with your treating physician; MedicCN coordinates the care around it.
US vs China · reported
Reported treatment costs
Side by side: what the procedure is reported to cost a self-pay patient in the United States versus China, and how long each system typically makes you wait. Every figure links its source.
| Metric | United States | China |
|---|---|---|
| Self-pay price | US$9,950–35,000 self-pay packages Provider cash lists ↗ | Bariatric surgery (incl. sleeve) ≈US$5,700–12,900 China News Service, 2021 ↗ |
| Typical wait | Consult-to-procedure ≈7 months (ASMBS analysis) ASMBS / U-M IHPI ↗ | Timing confirmed by the hospital after review |
Third-party reference figures, not personal quotes. US cash prices are not your out-of-pocket cost after insurance or a UK/European price benchmark. Add MedicCN’s fixed USD 200–500 service fee (including visa fees, airport and hotel transfers, and 24-hour mobile Wi-Fi), the 10–25% medical coordination and bilingual accompaniment fee, accommodation, meals, flights, insurance and possible return visits. Confirm the total in your written plan. The rate depends on treatment type and accompaniment level and is confirmed in writing.
