  1. The price might be lower, but is that what is important to you. What happens if you have complications??? It's major surgery, not a walk in the park. Personally, I think that you are crazy for considering it.
  2. Bariatric Surgery in India: Bariatric Surgery is in high demand as in the US as 30% of its population is estimated to be overweight. Bariatric Surgery in India brings patients from US and Europe to the country. The demand for cheap and efficient healthcare is drawing medical tourists from western countries to India for their surgeries. Desperate Americans, Canadians and British tourists lead the way for the growing medical tourism industry in India. Surgical procedures in India are charged at a mere fraction of the price for the same surgeries in the USA, making it much easier for uninsured families to manage expensive medical bills. In fact, Indian doctors are considered to be among the best in the world and their high level of surgical expertise evolves from many years of training – after studying in India many doctors train and work in the UK. What’s more, healthcare facilities in India are the most cost-effective in the world with private hospitals offering treatment at a fraction of the price of those in the UK. It is obvious that medical tourism is heading in the right direction with all the attention the media has been giving to it lately. India is hoping to expand its tourist industry - and every one appreciates the step. Medical tourism, where foreigners travel abroad in search of low cost, world-class medical treatment, is gaining popularity in countries like India. Though the quality of health care for the poor in countries like India is undeniably low, private facilities offer advanced technology and procedures on par with hospitals in developed nations. One Indian hospital director maintains, "In a corporate hospital, once the door is closed you could be in a hospital in America. “There is no doubt that the Indian medical industry's main appeal is low-cost treatment. Most estimates claim treatment costs in India start at around a tenth of the price of comparable treatment in America or Britain. Yet cost-savings may not be enough to foster a trade in medical tourism. Unfairly or not, most people in would not think of India as a land of good health.
  3. Michelle, Please reconsider surgery. I have lost 100 pounds+ in the past year without surgery. Go to naturalcures.com and read about the weight loss cure. It would take a long long time to explain here. I am still loosing weight and am not on a "diet". This is NOT another weight loss scam. I have told scores of people about this and 100% of them have lost weight and are keeping it off!! Most Respectfully, Milo Ketchum
