Axten's cashless desk verifies eligibility and arranges pre-authorisation before admission.

0% EMI is available on the full package - at the Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 2,75,000, that works out to roughly Rs. 22,900 per month over 12 months, interest-free.

Bariatric Surgery cost --- FAQs

How much does bariatric surgery cost in India?

At Axten Hospitals, bariatric surgery has a Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 2,75,000. It is all-inclusive and shared in writing before surgery, so the amount you are told is the amount you pay - with zero surprise billing. Cashless insurance and 0% EMI are also available. Call 8156-92-92-92.

Is bariatric surgery covered by health insurance in India?

Yes, in most cases. Under IRDAI's 2019 guidelines, insurers must cover bariatric surgery when medically indicated - generally BMI 40 and above, or 35 and above with conditions like diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnoea. Waiting periods and policy-specific terms apply. Axten's cashless insurance desk confirms your eligibility and files the pre-authorisation before admission.

Why is gastric bypass costlier than sleeve gastrectomy?

A bypass involves creating a pouch and joining it to the intestine, which needs more stapler firings, longer theatre time and greater technical complexity than a sleeve. Those consumables and hours account for most of the difference. Your Axten surgeon recommends the procedure on medical grounds first - diabetes status, reflux and BMI - and then prices it transparently.

What costs should I expect after discharge?

Plan for lifelong multivitamin, calcium, iron and B12 supplements - typically Rs 800 - Rs 1,500 per month - plus periodic blood tests to monitor nutrition. Your surgeon and dietitian follow-up visits at Axten are free and scheduled for you. These maintenance costs are modest against the savings most patients make on diabetes and blood-pressure medicines.

Does the package cover leaks or complications?

The agreed package covers the surgery, standard stay and routine recovery. Axten uses intra-operative leak testing and enhanced-recovery protocols precisely to keep complications rare. If a significant complication does occur, insured patients are usually covered under the same claim; for self-paying patients, our team discusses costs transparently rather than presenting an unexplained bill.

Can I pay for bariatric surgery on EMI if insurance declines?

Yes. Axten offers 0% EMI on the full Fixed Honest Price - Rs. 2,75,000 works out to roughly Rs. 22,900 per month over 12 months, with no interest and quick approval on standard KYC documents. EMI can also cover any balance your insurer does not pay.
