Gastric bypass surgery enables individuals who have not responded to typical diet and exercise treatments to lose massive amounts of weight. Patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery are able to lose up to 80% of their excess body weight in one year. Affordable bariatric surgery in Mexico or areas throughout Latin America offer world travelers, and many Americans, the best weight loss programs in the world. Gastric bypass surgery in Argentina, bariatric surgery in Guatemala and in world-class destinations like Cancun and Ensinada attract global travelers annually. 

In the United States, gastric bypass surgery using the Roux-en-Y technique may cost as much as $25,000. The same technique performed in South America or Mexico in locations such as Mexicali Obesity Solutions in Mexico, costs may hover around $10,000 which often includes all-inclusive stay benefits.

Lap band surgery helps patients suffering with obesity and weight related medical disorders. Through this simple surgical technique, a smaller stomach becomes full sooner and empties into the intestines at a slower rate, promoting slower digestion.

In the United States, costs for Lap Band surgery ranges from $15,000 to $20,000. In Latin American countries such as Costa Rica, or Ecuador at facilities such as MedTravel Ecuador in Quinto, costs hover around $8,100.

Sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach. Also known as a vertical gastrectomy, a partial gastrectomy, gastric reduction, as well as a greater curvature gastrectomy, this procedure is offered as an alternative to gastric bypass surgeries and removes up to 85% of the stomach.  

Costs for this procedure ranged around $20,000 in the United States. Bariatric Surgeries/Angels Abroad in Guatemala offer U.S. board-certified bariatric surgeons with the best obesity surgery abroad.  In Costa Rica, costs may range around $9,100, while in Mexico costs range from $9,500-$13,500.

Counseling, group support, and understanding of diet and nutrition as well as the importance of exercise is vital in any successful gastric bypass surgery for obesity, any type of laparoscopic band surgery, and for long-term sleeve gastrectomy recovery and other bariatric surgeries.  Whether you go in for a lap sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic band surgery, a gastroplasty procedure, a gastric bypass operation, or any other form of bariatric surgery procedure, the individual undergoing the procedure must also make certain changes in his or her lifestyle, diet, and habits.

Weight loss clinics such as Angels Abroad Bariatric Surgeries in Guatemala City, the Antiobesity Center in Cancun, Mexico or the CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey or 365 mc’s Bariatric Surgery Center in Seoul, South Korea offer professional bariatric surgery clinics, experienced leadership, structured exercise, group or individual meetings, prepackaged meals with dietary supplements and weight loss therapies that take behavioral and therapy components into consideration, helping individuals achieve a safe and healthy weight, with the tools necessary for maintaining such weight loss in the future.

Many individuals who undergo bariatric surgery, gastric bypass surgery, banded gastroplasty or lap band surgery believe that all it takes is a relatively simple surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach in order to achieve drastic and long-term weight loss.  Bariatric surgery for obesity, gastric bariatric surgery and obesity surgery specialists are available around the world to help overweight or obese individuals seek long term health and wellness.

Who do you know that has an extra $30,000 laying around? Not many. Unfortunately, that’s what some bariatric surgeries in the U.S. cost. Prices for obesity or weight loss surgeries average between $15,000 and $30,000, offering everything from laparoscopic gastric banding to vertical banded gastroplasty to gastric bypass.

Obesity weight loss surgery offers hope for health and longevity for many, but remains just out of reach for those who need it most. Most health insurance plans don’t cover gastric bariatric surgery or obesity surgery cost, though the effects of obesity continue to cause rises in cases of diabetes, heart disease and joint conditions for teens and adults.

Sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding and gastric bypass are common obesity and weight loss procedures that are available in other countries, at lower prices than those found in the U.S. The prices are not lower because they’re lower quality, but because health care systems of other countries are set up differently, and because doctors and surgeons don’t need excessive amounts of medical malpractice coverage that U.S. based physicians and surgeons.

Facilities like Mexicali Obesity Solutions in Mexicali, Mexico or 365 mc’s Bariatric Surgery Center in Seoul, South Korea are just two of dozens of obesity surgery centers found around the globe, offering state of the art techniques and procedures at vastly reduced costs.

Locations throughout Central and South America, Southeast Asia and Europe offer weight loss and bariatric surgeries that are effective, affordable, and life changing.

Lower costs don’t mean lower quality - quite the contrary. Health and wellness facilities in Mexico provide Americans living in border states convenient and affordable options to combat continuously rising healthcare costs in the United States. A majority of healthcare facilities, physicians, surgeons and specialists found in Mexico have been trained in the United States and are accredited and certified by national and international accrediting organizations.

Argentina, located in South America, has long been known as a great destination for dental, vision and cosmetic surgical procedures. However, many people don’t know that medical tourism in Argentina is growing by leaps and bounds. Buenos Aires hospitals, Buenos Aires health centers, clinics in Argentina and surgery in Argentina provide some of the most cost effective and quality treatment that can be found anywhere in the world.

Brazil has long been regarded as a destination for cosmetic surgery in particular. Due to the large volume of tourists from the USA and Europe, Brazil has built a reputation for having quality facilities and top-notch care. Medical professionals are held to high standards of education and accreditation, as are her many facilities.

Facilities like Fertility Argentina, located in Buenos Aires, Brazil, and Cedyt in Bariloche, offer fertility treatments to general surgery and plastic surgery procedures, while MedTravel Ecuador, located in Quinto, offers a range of procedures and treatments in orthopedic, bariatric and weight loss surgical procedures, dentistry and eye and LASIK technologies and care.

Taking care of our children is the number one job of parents around the world, but growing In the ‘old days’ kids played outside, but today, most teens spend their free time playing video games, chatting online or texting or watching TV.

Unfortunately, teen obesity has reached nearly epidemic proportions in recent years. The American Heart Association and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that between 15% and 33% of adolescents in the United States alone are overweight. Teens are being diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and other physical problems.

Teens who have tried and failed to lose weight, and upon the advice and recommendation of their pediatrician, may consider weight loss procedures or bariatric surgery procedures.

The two most commonly performed weight loss surgical procedures for teens have included the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding procedure. Lap banding utilizes the placement of an elastic band around a portion of the stomach to decrease its size. This procedure is adjustable and removable.

Safe, effective and quality weight loss procedures and laparoscopic surgical techniques in bariatric or obesity surgery offer hope to obese teens hoping to live normal and healthy lives. Laparoscopic surgery at Advanced Medical Group in Juarez, Mexico or Dr. Jorge Maytorena, Obesity Surgery in Mexicali in Baja California are just a few of the excellent and certified laparoscopic bariatric surgery options abroad. Visit PlacidWay.com for an in-depth search for the best laparoscopic surgery center to meet your needs and those of your teen in locations from Mexico to Jordan to India and Turkey. Help is out there.

Worldwide attention has been focused on the long term effects of obesity, as well as the cost of treating obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, just to name a few.

 

Bariatric or obesity surgeries in the U.S. can cost between $17,000 and $30,000. Unfortunately, in the U.S., many if not most weight loss or bariatric surgical procedures or obesity treatments are not covered by normal medical insurance.

 

Nevertheless, those traveling to global destinations may enjoy savings of tens of thousands of dollars in such locations as Mexico, South America and India. Accredited, state-of-the-art equipment and technology are making global obesity surgeries popular, common, and affordable in the 21^st century.

 

Lap banding, also known as Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (LAGB), involves a silicone band placed around the entrance to the stomach. Patients might expect a 50 to 75% weight loss of 50 to 90 pounds in about 2 years.

 

Vertical Banded Gastroplasty is also known as stomach stapling. Surgical staples section off a small portion of the upper part of the stomach. Many individuals who choose this type of procedure are generally able to lose roughly 50% of excess weight within about 2 years.

 

Sleeve Gastrectomy is performed for those with a body mass index over 50. A major portion of the stomach is removed in this procedure. A person may expect to lose between 30 and 35% of their initial body weight, or roughly 40 pounds in about a year.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, offers obesity and weight loss facilities, centers and surgical centers for consumers for use in determining weight loss surgeries, techniques, procedures and programs abroad.

 

Successful and long-term weight loss and weight loss management also involves support, both short-term and long-term during the weight loss process.  Counseling, group support, and understanding of diet and nutrition as well as the importance of exercise is vital in any successful gastric bypass surgery for obesity, any type of laparoscopic band surgery, and for long-term sleeve gastrectomy recovery and other bariatric surgeries. 

 

Traveling to another country to have a wide variety of procedures done has grown increasingly popular as costs for procedures continue to cause financial hardship and strain on Americans.  If you haven’t really seriously considered traveling to another country to have your procedure done, you should.  Traveling outside of national borders saves patients thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on various surgeries and medical procedures.  In some cases, choosing to have surgery abroad costs about a tenth of what you’d pay for the same procedure in the U.S.

 

Foreign weight loss facilities such as those found in South of the Border destinations offer some of the best obesity surgery abroad. Weight loss is important for health and wellness. Facilities like those provided by Dr. Marco More in Buenos Aires, Argentina or the Antiobesity Center in Cancun, Mexico, offer patients around the world affordable weight loss treatments that apply high standards of care and effective treatments.

How much are you worth?

 

And since when should money be a deciding factor on whether or not a person receives the medical care or drugs he or she needs to survive?

 

For example, depending on the type of procedure or surgery that is performed, cardiac surgeries have widely differing price ranges. However, they are among the most expensive surgical procedures performed in the United States. Coronary bypass surgery can cost up to $20,000 for one bypass, more if additional bypasses are required. A heart transplant can cost over  $150,000!

 

Highly acclaimed facilities and cardiac surgeons can be found in Jordan, Thailand and Singapore for a fraction of the costs in the U.S. For example, an angioplasty balloon procedure in the U.S. can cost up to $57,000, while in India, the cost hovers around $11,000 and in Thailand the same procedure costs about $13,000.

 

Laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in the United States costs roughly (and a minimum) of $30,000. In India, the cost averages about $16,500. In Mexico and South American destinations, costs may average between $9,800 and $13,000. 

 

Liposuction costs and treatments are defined by the area where fat is located and the anatomical focus. To put it quite simply, larger areas cost more. For example, the cost of liposuction to the lower abdomen costs around $2,000 in the United States. Liposuction to the outer thighs may cost $1,600 each. Medical tourists may benefit through cosmetic surgery procedures centers in Argentina, where charges costs are less, generally under $3,000, which in many cases includes lodging. Liposuction in India costs one tenth of what it costs in the United States.
