Pricing

Cost of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) in India

Treatment overview

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reshapes the stomach from the inside using an endoscope — a flexible tube passed through the mouth — without any cuts on the abdomen. A series of full-thickness sutures are placed to fold and narrow the stomach into a sleeve shape, reducing its volume by roughly two-thirds. ESG is typically recommended for adults with a BMI between 30 and 40 who have not achieved adequate weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication, and who prefer a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes; most patients go home the same day or after one night of observation. Published studies show average total body weight loss of 13 to 20 percent over the first 12 to 18 months, with meaningful improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and other obesity-related conditions in many patients.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000

Typical tests for this treatment: Upper GI endoscopy (to assess stomach and oesophagus), CBC (complete blood count), Blood sugar (fasting and HbA1c), Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), Lipid profile, ECG, Sleep apnoea screening (if clinically indicated). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $6,500 – $9,500

I came from Chad for my nose surgery, and choosing Ginger Health Care was one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning until the completion of my treatment, the entire team managed everything exceptionally well and exceeded my expectations. Ginger Health Care recommended an excellent doctor for my nose treatment, and my surgery was a great success. I am now feeling very happy and satisfied with the results, and I am about to return to my country with wonderful memories of my experience in India. Before coming to India, I was worried about how everything would be managed, but the Ginger Health Care team took care of every detail, making the entire process smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. Their professionalism, prompt support, and genuine care gave me complete confidence throughout my medical journey. A very special thanks to Dolma Ma'am and Mohsin for their dedication, kindness, and outstanding coordination.

I can honestly say that my experience seeking treatment abroad was nothing short of exceptional, and it really highlighted just how disappointing my experience with the NHS had been in comparison. After facing long delays, lack of clear communication, and a general feeling of being overlooked in the UK system, making the decision to travel overseas for care felt like a last resort—but it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with a level of professionalism and efficiency that immediately put me at ease. The hospital itself was spotless, modern, and incredibly well-organised. There was no sense of chaos or long waiting around; every appointment, test, and consultation was arranged promptly and ran exactly on time. It felt like the entire system was built around patient care and comfort, rather than patients having to fit into an overstretched system. The medical team were outstanding. Every doctor and nurse I interacted with took the time to listen carefully, explain things clearly, and make sure I fully understood my treatment plan. I never once felt rushed or dismissed. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for and respected, which made a huge difference during what was already a stressful time. One of the standout parts of the entire experience was the support we received from Natasha, our international client coordinator. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She organised appointments, helped with paperwork, arranged transport, and was always available whenever we had questions or concerns. Her communication was excellent, and she made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel simple and manageable. Natasha didn’t just do her job—she genuinely cared. She checked in on us regularly, made sure we were comfortable, and provided reassurance every step of the way. Having someone like her there made a huge difference, especially being in a foreign country where things can easily feel unfamiliar or stressful. Overall, the level of care, attention, and efficiency we experienced abroad was on a completely different level. It’s frustrating to say, but the contrast with the NHS was stark. Where we had previously faced delays and uncertainty, we instead found clarity, speed, and genuine compassion. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone considering treatment abroad. The quality of care, combined with the incredible support from staff like Natasha, made what could have been a difficult experience into a very positive one. I’m truly grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to make the same decision again if needed.
