The Roux-en-Y bypass is the operation the whole field is measured against. A small pouch is made at the top of the stomach and joined to a limb of small intestine, with a second join further down: two anastomoses, which is what makes it more demanding than a mini bypass and what gives it its long track record.
At Lux Hospitals, a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass costs between ₹3,50,000 and ₹4,50,000, covering the assessment, the operation, the stay, and the dietitian and follow-up programme afterwards.
One procedure, quoted as one band. It sits above a sleeve because it is a longer operation with two bowel joins to make, and because the nutritional follow-up that comes with a bypass is permanent.

estimated surgery cost
A higher BMI means longer operating time, more demanding anaesthesia and closer monitoring afterwards. It is the single largest variable in a bariatric estimate.
Diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnoea each add to the pre-operative work-up and to what has to be watched in the days after surgery.
Endoscopy, imaging, blood work, and reviews by an anaesthetist, a dietitian and (where indicated) a psychologist, all before a date is offered.
Bariatric surgery works over years, not weeks. Dietitian reviews and the long-term supplementation plan are part of the treatment, not an add-on.
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates, and the one thing on this list you choose rather than are assigned.
A longer operation spends more theatre time and more of the anaesthetist’s, and a consultant with more years behind the procedure is charged at a higher rate.
Local, spinal or general. Which one your case needs is a clinical decision, not a preference, and it moves both the drug cost and how long you are monitored afterwards.
We are empanelled with most major insurers and file the pre-authorisation for you, so what is left to pay yourself is known before admission rather than at discharge.
Which of these apply to you is settled at the consultation. Until a surgeon has seen you and your reports, any figure (here or anywhere else) is a range rather than your bill.

| Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass | ₹3,50,000 – ₹4,50,000 |
Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
The figure quoted to you is what the whole programme costs, not just the day in theatre. Everything below is inside it.
Important: Anything outside this list is told to you before it is done, not billed afterwards. If your case needs something the estimate did not allow for, you are asked first.
Your final bill may change if you need additional tests, a procedure for another condition, a longer hospital stay, extra medicines or follow-up care beyond what your estimate includes.
Ask the billing team which charges are included and which may be added based on your treatment needs.
Many health plans cover bariatric surgery where medical eligibility criteria are met. Our team verifies your policy and handles cashless claim support before you commit.
Coverage depends on your policy, the treatment approved and the insurer or TPA. Contact the Lux Hospitals insurance desk to check eligibility and understand any expected out-of-pocket cost.
This is the most studied bariatric operation there is. What varies between hospitals is not the procedure but the programme around it.
Most patients stay two to four days, depending on recovery and overall health.
