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.

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.

Bariatric surgery is a catchall phrase for several different types of weight loss procedures and surgeries. Here are the basics:

 

Lap banding — Laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB) is a process through which a silicone band, much like a rubber band, is placed around the entrance to the stomach.

 

Vertical Banded Gastroplasty — This procedure is commonly known as stomach stapling or VBG. Surgical staples are used to section off a small portion of the upper part of the stomach. The other side of this pouch is fitted with a band that slows the amount of time it takes for food to leave this pouch, which results in feelings of fullness after eating small amounts of food.

 

Sleeve Gastrectomy – This type of procedure is generally performed on patients who have a body mass index over 50. It involves removing a portion of the stomach to create more of a sleeve rather than the pouch shape that the stomach has.

 

Gastric Bypass is a procedure results in dividing the stomach to create a small pouch that is directly attached to the small intestine. This pouch can only hold 1 ounce of food, though it may stretch in time to allow a person to eat about a cup of food at a time. 

 

Obesity and weight loss surgical procedures in the U.S. are extremely expensive, but individuals traveling to foreign destinations can save thousands of dollars in excellent, certified facilities such as the Antiobesity Center in Cancun (yes!) Mexico to CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey. Help is out there if you know where to look for reliable resources and information, such as PlacidWay, a quickly growing medical tourism and resource data center located in Denver, Colorado.

You wouldn’t trust your body to just anyone when it comes to plastic surgery, would you? You want to be sure that any surgeon who performs any type of procedure on your face or body is highly trained, certified, accredited, experienced and knowledgeable regarding the newest state of the art equipment, technology, and procedures.

Women seeking anything from face lifts to liposuction to tummy tucks to breast augmentation or reduction should take the time to carefully research any plastic or cosmetic surgeon and facility regardless of its location. Unfortunately, most cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures in the United States are not covered by medical insurance. This leaves many women seeking plastic and cosmetic surgery or facial reconstruction or body lifts in international locations.

One of the most famous and well-known travel destinations in the world, located in Cancun, Mexico, is also home to one of the most well-known plastic or cosmetic surgical and medical spa facilities in the area, called, naturally, Perfection Medical Spa and Plastic Surgery.  As one of the most renowned cosmetic surgery center in Mexico, the facility offers some of the best plastic surgeons in Cancun, and affordable cosmetic plastic surgery in Mexico that also meets the highest standards in quality care. A leader in surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic treatments as well as being the home to one of the most luxurious yet affordable medical spas in Cancun, Perfection offers just that.
