Gastroplasty Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of gastroplasty in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for gastroplasty in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If your operation is planned, done by keyhole or a standard method, and you go home after a short stay, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if you need open or robotic surgery, your condition is more complex, you stay longer or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for gastroplasty, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dietitian support
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Gastroplasty makes the stomach smaller without removing any of it, and today normally means endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), in which the stomach is folded with stitches placed through a tube passed down the mouth.

NICE says that ESG uses an endoscope and a stitching device to fold the stomach, with nothing cut or taken out, so it is potentially reversible and the majority of people leave the same day; it can be used for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or lower in some ethnic groups.

Vertical banded gastroplasty was an older stomach-stapling operation that ASMBS notes is now done far less commonly, so check which procedure an estimate describes.

ASMBS reports an average loss of 13.6% of total body weight at 12 months in the MERIT trial, which is less than after a surgical sleeve gastrectomy.

It cautions that ESG stitches can complicate later surgery, and that ESG should sit within a full weight management programme.

Flying home: there is no aviation figure for this procedure, so book after the surgeon's review and ask how to lower clot risk on a long flight.

A Gurgaon quote for gastroplasty is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type: endoscopic or older surgical.
• Stay: day case or overnight.
• Assessment: and team reviews.
• Diet programme: and follow-up.

Ask whether the Gurgaon bariatric package includes pre-surgery tests, dietitian and psychology reviews, the stay, supplements and first-year follow-up.

Weight-loss surgery in Gurgaon is usually run by a surgeon, dietitian and physician working together, so ask whether pre-surgery counselling and dietary follow-up are included.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
