According to Dr. Rajan Damathia, Consultant General Surgeon, Ludhiana is now being considered one of the emerging Weight Loss Surgery destinations in India. Many patients are  put off by the high prices in Europe and the US and are traveling to India to get the same treatment at vastly reduced cost of 60% or more. The slogan thus is, "First World treatment' at Third World prices” In addition to the cost savings the benefits of this surgery  are huge;  immediately following surgery, most patients lose weight rapidly and continue to do so until 18 to 24 months after the procedure.
Weight reduction surgery has been reported to improve many conditions including sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. In one study, the blood sugar levels of most obese patients with diabetes returned to normal after surgery. According to Dr. Ghosh, For an experience surgeon to perform the operation will cost at least $17,000 upwards to $30,000 to get the operation carried out in the US.But lots of people are getting their surgery done in India for much cheaper. Ludhiana will start giving competition to facilities elsewhere in the country by being even more economical. According to Dr. S.P. Singh , COO, “We have offered an all-inclusive deal in Ludhiana for fraction of an amount as compared to the USA or else where in India. The price normally will include pick-up at the airport, hospital,  physician fees, and pre-op workup etc So, all that is needed is to add the cost of a flight” he adds "In our hospital, once the door is closed you could be in a hospital in America.
