Gastric Bypass Procedure
Overview
A transformative weight-loss surgery that reduces stomach size and reroutes a portion of the digestive tract, leading to dramatic, sustained weight loss and resolution of conditions like Type 2 diabetes. Our partner hospitals deliver gastric bypass using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Self-funded bariatric surgery in Australia: AUD 18,000–25,000. Public-system access very limited. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same gastric bypass is available from $1,500 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
