FeaturedDr. Pradeep Chowbey
Dr. Pradeep Chowbey is a true pioneer of minimally invasive and bariatric surgery in India. As chairman of the bariatric and minimal access surgery division at Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, he has spent more than three decades transforming how India approaches surgical intervention for obesity, hernias, and gastrointestinal disease. He is credited with performing the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in India in 1990, at a time when the technique was still emerging globally. That landmark procedure opened the door to a new era of surgery in the country — one where incisions are small, recovery is faster, and the physiological impact on the patient is dramatically reduced. Over the three decades that followed, Dr. Chowbey performed over 30,000 laparoscopic procedures across the full range of abdominal surgery. In bariatric surgery, Dr. Chowbey has helped establish India as a globally recognised destination for safe, affordable weight loss surgery. He performs laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini-gastric bypass, and revisional bariatric procedures, often on patients who have failed elsewhere. His outcomes data — including excess weight loss percentages, resolution of comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, and complication rates — consistently match or exceed international benchmarks. Dr. Chowbey has trained hundreds of surgeons across India and Asia through his formal fellowship programme at Max Hospital and is a sought-after faculty member at international surgical conferences. His textbooks and surgical atlases on laparoscopic hernia repair are used as reference works at teaching hospitals worldwide.

View ProfileGastric Sleeve Surgery — Treatment Overview
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) removes a large portion of the stomach to create a narrow, tube-shaped pouch, reducing food intake and lowering the hunger hormone ghrelin. It is one of the most commonly performed weight-loss procedures, usually done through minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Most PopularAbout 75–80% of the stomach is removed through keyhole incisions, creating a narrow tube-shaped pouch that reduces food intake and the hunger hormone ghrelin, without rerouting the intestine.

How to Select the Best Doctor for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in India?
Choosing the right surgical gastroenterology surgeon for gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
Experience and Expertise
Look for a surgeon with a strong track record in gastric sleeve surgery specifically, not just surgical gastroenterology in general. Years of listed experience — shown on every profile below — is a reasonable starting point.
Specialization
Check that the doctor's listed procedures actually include gastric sleeve surgery (see the doctor cards below) rather than only general surgical gastroenterology.
Hospital Affiliation
The hospital matters as much as the surgeon. Look for an accredited centre with a dedicated surgical gastroenterology unit, ICU support, and experience treating international patients — see "Hospitals where these doctors operate" below.
Communication and Second Opinions
You should be able to get clear answers about your case before committing to travel. Ask for a written second opinion on your reports, in a language you're comfortable in, before you decide.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — surgeon's fee, hospital charges and stay — before you travel, so there are no surprises once treatment begins. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
