Should I have a gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico?
Gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico carries some risks inherent to any surgery. However having weight loss surgery in Mexico may be scary for you, especially if you were misinformed by friends (who usually know nothing about health services in Mexico).
Surely you heard some of the following:
- Mexican doctors are bad and inexperienced
- Mexico is an unsafe and dangerous country, there is war everywhere
- Mexican hospitals are dirty and poorly equipped
- You will pay less but you put your life at risk
Certainly there are considerations that one must take. For example, if the price of a gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico is too low, surely the quality of care is low and of course we do not want that. Right? However, we must make clear some things:
- In Mexico, as in the United States, there are all kinds of services, from shady clinics all the way to certified surgeons recognized establishments worldwide. In Hispano Americano Hospital bariatric surgery program is led by Dr. Rafael Abril and Dr. Horacio Hampujol both certified bariatric surgeons with extensive experience in thousands of American and Canadian patients.
- Mexico is a huge country. Some areas do indeed have serious problems of insecurity, however entire regions of the country, such as Mexicali on the northern border, are as peaceful and friendly as any average American city.
- Gastric sleeve surgery with certified bariatric surgeon in Mexico costs about one-third ($6,000 to $8,000) than the price in the United States (between $15,000 and $25,000). It has nothing to quality. Thing is the cost of health care in the United States is too high. But you have to use common sense, if something is too good to be true, it probably is.
- Health care institutions like Hispano Americano Hospital have first class facilities and the latest technology, they also have a friendly and professional staff. Besides it is conveniently located in Mexicali a few feet from the border, making transportation to and from the United States quite easy.
