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.

Most types of obesity or bariatric surgeries in the United States are extremely expensive, which prevents many individuals from taking advantage of life-saving techniques and procedures. Obesity surgeries, which reign from lap banding to gastric bypass to gastroplasty or sleeve gastrectomy cost tens of thousands of dollars and involve multiple presurgical examinations, consultations, and long waiting lists.

An increasingly popular method of obtaining obesity & bariatric surgeries is to venture abroad to a multitude of high quality, accredited, and available facilities and destinations throughout the globe, such as Thailand, Mexico, South America, India and Southeast Asia.

For example, a 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.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because surgeries and procedures cost so much less in foreign destinations that surgeons or facilities are under-educated or under funded. Quite the contrary. In many locations, the Joint Commission International, the global arm of the Joint Commission in the United States, accredits many foreign destination medical facilities to ensure that high quality facility standards, medical care, and surgical training and experience are maintained.

An obesity surgery center found in destinations such as Amman, Jordan, Bangkok, Thailand, Mumbai, India, or closer to home in Mexico offers medical travelers not only the opportunity to see another part of the world, but to enjoy the best of compassionate, experienced and high-tech care without long waiting lists or dealing with the high cost of medical malpractice insurance that has driven American healthcare costs way beyond the ability of most Americans to pay.
