Get the best Bariatric Surgery from all around the world
Bariatric surgery encompasses a range of weight-loss procedures that modify the digestive system to help patients lose significant weight. India has become a global hub for bariatric surgery, offering world-class outcomes at a fraction of the cost in Western countries. Procedures include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding, performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
Most patients see steady weight loss within the first 6 to 12 months, along with noticeable improvement in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and joint pain. Every treatment plan starts with a detailed medical evaluation, followed by a personalised procedure recommendation, transparent cost estimate, and a dedicated coordinator to manage travel, hospital stay, and follow-up care.
Bariatric surgery is recommended for patients who have not achieved lasting results through diet, exercise, or medication alone, and who meet the following clinical criteria.
- Morbid Obesity (BMI > 40)
- Obesity with comorbidities (BMI > 35)
- Type 2 Diabetes related to obesity
- Sleep Apnea
- Hypertension
- Joint Problems due to excess weight
The right procedure depends on your BMI, medical history, and weight loss goals. Our surgical team reviews each case individually and recommends the option with the best long-term outcome.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
Removes about 80% of the stomach, creating a tube-shaped stomach that limits food intake and reduces hunger hormones.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, reducing calorie absorption and food intake.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified version of gastric bypass with a single anastomosis, shorter surgery time, and excellent weight loss results.
Generally a BMI of 40+ qualifies on its own, or a BMI of 35+ combined with an obesity-related condition such as diabetes or hypertension.
