India-sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am considering getting sleeved in Delhi India. Can anyone recommend a hospital or doctor in India.

In India they require you to stay 4-5 days after the sleeve surgery in a 100 to 500 bed hospital. The cost for the surgery is around $6K to 9K. Everyone is very professional and they mostly speak english and they are quick to reply. My wife and i like to go to exotic places and meet interesting people so the $1200 airfare is worth it to us. I have done alot of research and i feel more comfortable with the India set-up all around. They will do any kind of surgery you can think of for a fraction of the cost. I will be back in mid March so i will let everyone know the 'real deal'.

I don't have any info on surgeons or hospitals in India, but wish you the best of luck in your research. Make sure whichever surgeon you choose has done at least 300 sleeves. It's been shown with at least this many, complications decrease significantly, and technique has been established for best results for the patient.

Keep us posted.

Thanks for the info SLEEVE. I hope you are able to make contact with someone who actually had the procedure there. There's nothing better than getting it straight from the horse's mouth.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
