I am unable to get insurance for weight loss surgery in
California. Do you think going to Mexico is worth it?
Many people go abroad for all types of surgeries. The prime
factor is cost. In mexico the cost of weight loss surgery is about 50% less
than what it costs in the USA. However, what you need to know is that weight
loss surgery is a major undertaking. Complications often occur and can be life threatening.
If you go to mexico and something goes wrong, who will take care of you when you return back to the USA? It sure is not practical to go to Mexico every weekend to take care of an infected wound. Plus, remember, you have no idea about the quality of surgeons abroad. Anyone can make up a website and mention that they have done 1000s of operations.
Finally, if there is cock up, I doubt you can sue the surgeon in mexico. Whereas in the USA, the lawyers will be waiting at the hospital door with their ID cards to assist you with any complication. Think twice about it. If you do not have the money to undergo surgery in USA, start walking more and eat less. This will save you all the hassles of surgery.
