Gastric Bypass Surgery in India

My doctor has suggested that I have gastric bypass surgery. I cannot afford the procedure in the United States. My doctor has suggested I go to India for the procedure. Can anyone give me information on doctors and hospitals in Dehli? I also need to know about the hotels in Dehli so I can pick an appropriate lodging for after the surgery. There are organizations here that help to arrange the whole trip but it is sometimes difficult to know who is trustworthy. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Hello :-) I too cannot afford the surgery in my home country of New Zealand and am looking for options abroad in my price range. I haven't yet considered the possibility of India it hasn't even crossed my mind till reading your post. I haven't got any info for you sorry but now that I know about India being an option it will be in my research list, Im currently researching thailand. I don't have prices yet but one place I came across was www.gastricbypassthailand.com maybe this could be of some use to you also? If you do find any information on any countries that have more affordable weight loss surgeries I'd love to know what you find :-) Once I get more information I'll post it on here for you too incase your interested :-) Im just beginning the researching phase myself so have a lot of studying up to do. All the best on your search and as I said I'll keep you posted on anything I find :-D

Ok Im back and been doing a bit of research :-) I dunno about where your from? but that website that I quoted earlier on that I thought might be more affordable I had a phone consultation with them and was quoted 14-15k USD for the Roux en Y procedure sorry I don't know how to spell it yet lol. But have been searching some more exploring Indian options. Through Google I found this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070117193811AAQ9lMM which then lead me on to this http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com/cost.php which if you read the first links contents its just the site mentioned but with a average price estimation comparison chart between countries. Assuming that the Bypass is meant as in gastric bypass and not some sort of heart bypass or something else it's estimated around 6k which is good. And according to that post from the yahoo question that I found on google they arrange finance and stuff too. I haven't read into that cause finance isn't a option for me I plan to scrimp and save for it. Im still looking for other thailand/asian options as well as I know that asia has many world class surgeons and facilities and is known to be very very cheap in comparison to western prices. I wasn't that impressed with that gastricbypassthailand.com one after the consultation I had so Im leaving that one dead in its tracks and continuing the search. Feel free to drop me a line anytime have a good day :o) and I'll keep you posted on anything I find

Hi did you get your surgery done in india? By whom? I live in India and would love to get it done here. Veronica

Dana, I just got lap band surgery in Italy for $11,000.00. I haven't received their final bill so am not sure how insurance will cover but it WAS affordable considering the price elsewhere. Check my profile if you're interested and I'll be happy to add to your success for finding affordable WLS. Bless you both and I wish you a slimming future...
