Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as Bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps

I do know one man who recently had the surgery and was delighted with the results. He weighed about 400 pounds when he had it in December, and now weighs about 180. But it takes a lot of discipline even after the surgery. He could not eat anything for a few weeks after the surgery–all he could have were protein drinks. A month or two later he was up to a small amount of soft food (about 1/2 cup) to go along with it. If he had more than that at one time, he would just get sick. If that’s what someone who is PLEASED with the surgery has to go through, I’d rather stick to dieting. Try the diabetic diet–basically, you eat only what is on the food pyramid, in small portions. You eat 3 small meals plus three snacks. By spreading it out over the course of the day, your body never stops metabolizing food, so it never goes into “starvation” mode–trying to conserve energy because it thinks it’s not receiving enough food.
