Practice · GI & Bariatric Surgery

Weight-loss surgery, engineered around medical eligibility — not aspiration.

We build BMI- and comorbidity-triaged funnels for bariatric surgery alongside complex laparoscopic GI, HPB and hernia programmes — measured in scheduled, medically-eligible admissions.

For Chiefs of GI & Bariatric Surgery, Metabolic Program Directors and MDs of super-specialties with dedicated GI units.

Procedure-level demand engineering

We target the procedures that move your P&L, not the ones that fill the OPD queue.

CATCHMENT TIER · PRICE RESTATEMENT

ARPU differs materially between Metro, Tier-2 and Tier-3 catchments. Switch tier to restate every procedure band against the payer mix and package ceilings we observe in that market — not a single all-India number.

Viewing Metro / Tier-1 · Representative catchments: Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune.

Methodology. Base bands reflect RDV's engagement dataset across 47 super-specialty hospitals, reconciled against CGHS/ECHS package rates, state-scheme ceilings (Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, CMCHIS, YSR Aarogyasri) and empanelled TPA grids. Tier multipliers applied: Metro 1.00× · Tier-2 0.72× · Tier-3 0.55×. Actuals swing with payer mix, consultant-fee split and implant/consumable choice — the written Blueprint restates every band against your own HIS billing history before any spend is committed.

Clinical referral pathway

Intent → triage → consult → admission. Instrumented at every gate.

01 · Intent capture
Symptom, condition and referrer-based intent capture across catchment.
02 · Clinical triage
Specialty-trained nurse/coordinator triage with report upload before consult.
03 · Consultant handoff
Calendar-synced booking to the operating consultant with pre-read notes.
04 · Admission & OT slotting
CRM ↔ HIS tag: admission source, procedure code, OT date.

Outcome: 2.9× bariatric volume, 82% medically-eligible intake

Figures engagement-verified against hospital HIS. No outcome guarantees implied; per NMC advertising guidelines.

Why Chiefs of GI & Bariatric choose RDV

Trust is earned in the operating logic, not the pitch deck.

Medical-eligibility gate

BMI, comorbidity and psychological screening happen before consult booking. No aspirational weight-loss traffic reaches your surgeon.

IFSO-aligned messaging

Every claim benchmarked against IFSO clinical guidelines. Bariatric surgery framed as metabolic medicine, never cosmetic.

MDT pre-op protocol

Nutrition, psychology and endocrinology cleared before OT — reducing complication rate and revision demand.

Long-term registry

Documented 12/24/36-month follow-up compounds trust and generates the revision-surgery second-opinion funnel.

From an engagement

"We stopped seeing patients who wanted to 'lose weight for a wedding'. Every case now has a metabolic indication — our outcomes and reputation both improved."

Objections we hear

The three questions MDs ask before signing.

We keep our answers on the record. If yours isn't here, ask it in the qualification form — the founding partner replies personally within 48 hours.

Bariatric marketing looks unprofessional.

Because most of it is. IFSO-aligned, comorbidity-triaged intake looks like clinical medicine because it is. Your MDT signs off every asset.

We already have a psychology gate.

Then we integrate to it, not around it. Coordinators route only cleared candidates to consult.

International patients dominate our bariatric mix.

Then we build corridor-specific programmes with country-language content and financial pre-authorisation. Aggregate 'medical tourism' underperforms.

FAQ

The questions Chiefs of GI & Bariatric ask us first.

If yours isn't here, put it in the qualification form — our founding partner will answer it in the 48-hour review.

Can bariatric surgery be marketed ethically?+

Yes — as metabolic medicine for medically-eligible patients per IFSO criteria. Never as cosmetic weight loss. Every asset carries clinical framing and MDT sign-off.

How do you handle patients who want surgery but aren't eligible?+

They receive a medical-management education pathway — nutrition, endocrine referral, monitored follow-up. Non-surgical routing protects your clinical brand.

What's the revision-surgery opportunity?+

Substantial — but only if you've been documenting your primary-case follow-up. Our registry framework activates that funnel structurally.
