Weight loss surgery in Mexico | Advantages and Disadvantages

[GuestAdmin]

There are many methods to lose weight like proper diet, exercise, weight loss pills etc but if someone fails to do so, he/she can opt for weight loss surgery as a last resort. Undergoing a surgery to get rid of excess body fat is basically a fat removal method and not a weight loss method. It is a life-changing decision. It calls for an investment and if you do not have a health insurance, you might find it difficult to afford a weight loss surgery. If you are living in a place where health care facilities are quite expensive and you do not have enough money to pay for your weight loss surgery, Mexico can be the destination of your choice.

As far as the weight-loss surgery in Mexico is concerned, it is comparatively quite affordable and cost you less than half of what it costs you in US. However, there are other costs involved like travel cost, accommodation or hotel charges, medicines, testing costs before and after operation, and other necessary post-surgery follow up care etc. So while deciding to undergo a weight loss surgery in Mexico you need to decide on many things including all the associated expenses. There are two options you can opt for. Either you can go for an all-inclusive package offered by some of the surgeons which include all the expenses from travelling till your living costs and all surgery and post surgery care costs. But the other option is to spend on everything separately which could cost you more.

However, you must also agree that while undergoing any medical treatment it is the quality of treatment, availability of the facilities and pre and post care that matters a lot and no doubt weight loss surgery in Mexico is of best quality. The surgeons are well experienced and truly reliable. Following are some of the advantages of undergoing a weight loss surgery in Mexico:

* Cost effective
* Good pre and post medical care
* Good medical facilities
* Experienced surgeons
* "Usually" Safe and reliable surgery methods

As far as the disadvantages of weight loss surgery in Mexico are concerned you may have to bear an extra cost for travelling and living in Mexico. Moreover, this cost will further increase if you take someone with you as a companion. Secondly, no doubt the quality of medical care and facilities in Mexico are superb but still you can't get a firsthand knowledge as to who is the best surgeon there as you don't know anyone personally in Mexico being a non-resident. Additionally you insurance will generally not cover the cost.

There are two most popular surgeries in Mexico. Bariatric or Gastric Bypass surgery and Lap band surgery. Both methods has their own advantages and disadvantages, it is up to the individual to select the best. No matter whether you go for surgery in Mexico or US and what method you undergo you need to make sure you take post-surgery care. This includes drinking more water, keep a check on your diet ensuring you eat healthy foods, chewing slowly and avoid calorie rich food items.

I agree with you Gastric Bypass Surgery is very popular in mexico I heard about that bypassing most of the stomach and dividing the stomach to create a small stomach pouch. These two parts are performed during the same surgery, small stomach pouch is created by dividing the stomach into a larger and a (much) smaller part. The smaller part is stapled or sewn together to make a small pouch that can only hold a cup or so of food. their are lots of patients who are satisfied with this surgery lots of people lose 60% of their weight from this surgery the only disadvantage is leakage of acidic stomach contents into the abdomen. The acids can dissolve other organs.sometimes the new, small stomach pouch can stretch and, over time, return to being as big as it was before surgery.
