surgery is right for you?
Suitability depends on your BMI, health and goals. The consultation is an assessment, not a commitment.
09 / WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.

Aboutendoscopy
These answer endoscopy in general, not gastric balloon specifically.
No. It is done under light sedation and most patients feel little or nothing, going home the same day.
