1)Gastric Bypass Surgery

Description

Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch. The procedure reduces the stomach’s capacity and alters digestion, leading to weight loss by limiting food intake and nutrient absorption.

Why it's needed:

It is typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity or those who have not achieved long-term weight loss through diet and exercise alone.

Cost in India

₹2,50,000 – ₹4,50,000 ($3,000 – $5,400)

Cost in the U.K.

£8,000 – £15,000

Cost in the U.S.:

$20,000 – $35,000

Why India

India offers this surgery with high success rates, skilled surgeons, and modern facilities at a significantly lower cost compared to Western countries.

2)Sleeve Gastrectomy

Description

: Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery that removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a narrow tube or “sleeve.” This reduces the stomach’s capacity, limiting food intake and promoting weight loss.

Why it's needed:

It is often recommended for obese individuals who are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise or for those who have obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.

Cost in India

3,00,000 – ₹5,00,000 ($3,600 – $6,000)

Cost in the U.S.

$15,000 – $30,000

Cost in the U.K.:

£8,000 – £12,000

Why India

India provides high-quality sleeve gastrectomy surgery at a fraction of the cost, with advanced surgical techniques and experienced surgeons.

3 )Gastric Balloon

Description

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical, weight-loss procedure where a soft balloon is inserted into the stomach via an endoscope. Once in place, the balloon is filled with saline to reduce stomach capacity, helping the patient feel fuller with less food intake.

Why it's needed:

This procedure is suitable for individuals who need to lose weight but are not ready for major surgery. It can help with weight loss by curbing appetite.

Cost in India

₹1,00,000 – ₹2,50,000 ($1,200 – $3,000)

Cost in the U.K.

£3,500 – £5,000

Cost in the U.S.:

$6,000 – $9,000

Why India

Gastric balloon placement in India is far less expensive than in Western countries, with highly trained specialists offering state-of-the-art procedures.
