Weight Loss Surgery Abroad: Is It a Good Idea?<\/h2>\n rnrnMany people are on the fence when considering if they should do bariatric surgery abroad.rnrnTo help you make the decision a little easier, we’ve listed some common reasons why thousands chose it:rnrn

rn<\/p>\n

1. It’s Easier to Qualify For<\/h3>\n

rnIf you want to get weight loss surgery done in the US or Canada, you must have a body mass index or BMI of over 40.rnrnYou could also qualify if you have a BMI between 35 and 40 but suffer from an obesity-related condition like sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure.\n

\">[1]<\/sup><\/span>rnrnWhereas in the US and Canada, a few factors like previous drug addiction and a family history of lung disease can automatically disqualify you from surgery.rnrnThis leaves a large market of patients who’d like to lose weight through surgery but can’t because they don’t qualify.rnrnThis is where medical tourism saves the day!rnrnMany famous medical tourist destinations have less restrictive qualifications. It allows you to bypass the requirements in the US or Canada.rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>rnrn

2. Free Online Consultations<\/h3>\n

rnIn the US and Canada, you’ll have to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a simple consultation. During these consultations, your surgeon creates a plan of action specifically for you.rnrnHowever, in many medical tourism destinations, you can get a free consultation. This is super helpful because you’ll save hundreds of dollars.rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>rnrn

3. More Affordable<\/h3>\n

rnIn addition to not paying for the first consultation, you’ll pay far less on weight loss surgery in overseas countries compared to the US and Canada.rnrnSome think this is because these hospitals have inadequate technologies and surgeons. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.rnrnCountries like India, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Turkey offer some of the most highly trained surgeons in the world. Their governments also invest millions into medicine each year to ensure hospitals are the best.rnrnThe real reason these countries are affordable is that the cost of living is far less.u00a0For example, gastric bypass surgery costs around $23,000<\/strong> in the US. In Mexico, you’ll pay only $6,400<\/strong> for the same procedure.rnrnIf you travel to popular medical tourism destinations like Turkey, you can expect to pay $5,000<\/strong>.rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>rnrn
