Obese individuals who don’t have medical insurance or don’t want to wait for a longer waiting period often look for affordable and best centers for weight loss surgery in India.

However, in India there is a big difference in the cost of bariatric surgery and this often confuses many people and makes the decision difficult.
The standard cost of Bariatric surgery in Punjab India varies from 2.5 lakhs to 4.0 lakhs and this depends on a number of factors like Choice of Hospital, Experience of Surgeon, choice of bariatric procedure, BMI of the patient and choice of bariatric surgery staplers. The cost further gets varied when a patient has associated comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea that may prolong the stay which in turn lead to additional cost.
At many centers the difference of cost may be because of Pre surgery investigations or work up. At our center CODSILS, Mohali, we include pre surgery workup as part of the package which makes it more affordable.
