Gastroenterology & Bariatric Surgery in India for International Patients
Plan safe, modern digestive, liver, pancreas and weight-loss (bariatric) care in India with a trusted medical facilitation partner.
VRH Healthcare helps you compare top centres and surgeons in Delhi-NCR & Gurugram, understand indicative costs, and coordinate everything—from second opinions to recovery and tele-follow-ups.
How VRH Healthcare Helps
VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We are a medical facilitation and patient-navigation service connecting you with NABH/JCI-accredited digestive-care centres and experienced gastroenterologists, GI/HPB surgeons and bariatric surgeons. We coordinate second opinions, clinician reviews of your reports, appointments, medical visa letters, airport transfers, near-hospital stays, interpreters, indicative estimates, and tele-follow-ups so you can decide confidently.
Why Choose India for Digestive & Bariatric Care

Accredited Centres
NABH/JCI units with dedicated endoscopy suites and GI/HPB theatres.
Advanced Tech
ERCP/EUS, cholangioscopy, capsule endoscopy, manometry, 24-hr pH/impedance; laparoscopic/robotic GI surgery.
Experienced Teams
Gallbladder & hernia, GERD, pancreas & bile-duct, liver disease, IBD, colorectal, and bariatric/metabolic programmes.
Fast-Track Access
Rapid scheduling for endoscopy, imaging and definitive surgery.
Affordability
Significant savings vs many Western markets with indicative packages and clear communication.
Conditions We Support
We assess and treat these digestive and metabolic conditions — tap a card to view related procedures or request an e-opinion.
Gallbladder & Bile-Duct Disease
Typical biliary colic or jaundice may require laparoscopic cholecystectomy and, when ducts are involved, ERCP ± stenting.
Pancreatitis & Pancreato-Biliary Disorders
Managed with targeted medical care; complications may need EUS-guided drainage, ERCP or pancreatic surgery at specialised centres.
Liver Disease (Hepatitis, Cirrhosis)
Evaluation with FibroScan/CT/MRI and labs. Selected complications may require endoscopic therapy. (Liver transplant is available in authorised centres if indicated.)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Diagnosis via colonoscopy/biopsy. Treatment spans medicines to colorectal surgery for strictures, fistulae or refractory disease.
GI Bleeding & Polyps
Stabilisation plus endoscopic therapy/polypectomy; early lesions may be amenable to EMR/ESD at select centres.
Hernias (Inguinal, Ventral, Hiatal)
Symptomatic hernias typically need laparoscopic/robotic repair with mesh; hiatal hernia may overlap with GERD care.
Bariatric & Metabolic Syndrome
Options include Sleeve Gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, OAGB, and Revision Bariatric Surgery after evaluation.

Do I need surgery for GERD or can it be treated medically?
Most GERD is managed with medicines. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist or anatomy requires correction—after specialist review.
How long is the hospital stay for gallbladder removal?
Many laparoscopic cholecystectomies are 1–2 days (sometimes day-care), subject to clinical stability.
Is ERCP/EUS available?
Yes—therapeutic ERCP/EUS is available at partner centres; suitability depends on imaging and specialist assessment.
Can bariatric surgery help with diabetes and sleep apnoea?
Yes—sleeve/RYGB/OAGB can improve metabolic parameters and OSA in eligible patients, alongside nutrition changes.
How soon can I fly after laparoscopic GI or bariatric surgery?
Often 1–2 weeks after uncomplicated surgery, once your surgeon clears fitness-to-fly; longer for major resections.
Will I need a special diet after bariatric surgery?
Yes—structured progression (liquids → soft → solids) with supplements and regular reviews.
