How much does it cost

The Fastube Diet programme has a total cost of 600 Euros for each treatment cycle.

This amount includes:

 

  1. Complete Fastube Diet kit: 5 rigid containers, 5 infusion sets, 1 2mm wide nasogastric tube, 1 jar of formula, 1 rucksack, pre-printed forms for daily diary.
  2. Initial consultation: the patient's health is assessed, blood tests are prescribed and the programme thoroughly explained (the cost of consultation is 100 Euros).
  3. Tube insertion: should the patient decide to go ahead with Fastube Diet, the next step is to book an appointment with the anaesthesiologist and the dietician in order to position the tube. On this day, complete instructions on the use of the pump and the kit are also given. The treatment should also be paid for in full (balance of 500 Euros).
  4. Follow up appointment after 7-10 days: that's when the tube is removed and the patient receives the realimentation diet programme.
  5. Consultation with the dietician who will explain how to reintroduce carbohydrates in the daily diet. Any further treatment cycles that may be necessary are also explained and discussed.

 

A cautionary deposit of 400 Euros is required for the use of the pump. This will refunded on the day that the tube is removed.
