Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide if bariatric surgery is right for me?

Start with a consultation. Your surgeon will look at your BMI, health conditions and past weight loss attempts, explain the options, and help you decide. Hearing from patients who have already had surgery can also help you make up your mind.

Is bariatric surgery covered by health insurance?

Many health insurance policies in India cover bariatric surgery when it is medically needed and certain BMI and health criteria are met. Coverage differs between policies, so check with your insurer. The clinic team can help with the paperwork.

What is the first week after bariatric surgery like?

Most patients go home within a few days, walk regularly, follow a liquid diet and take prescribed medicines. Some tiredness and mild discomfort are normal and improve day by day.

Will I be able to eat with my family normally after surgery?

Yes. Once you move to regular food, you can eat the same home-cooked meals as your family, just in smaller portions and with a focus on protein. Many families find they also start eating healthier together.

Where can I see more patient experiences?

You can watch more patient stories in the Testimonials section of the Video Gallery on this website, or meet patients in person at a support group meeting.
