my original response to certain members of wl community comments about weight loss surgery and how people who have surgery are “lazy” or taking the way out:

I believe in educating people…I believe in being honest and truthful about this journey…and one of them is that wls is not dangerous…Obesity is dangerous and killing people every day. But we are two communities, both working hard to get to the same place…better health and better life.

Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy Abroad – Costa Rica Medical Tourism Testimonial

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:12:03 +0000

http://www.medicaltourismco.com//weight-loss/bariatric-surgery.php
Peggy and Debra Berg, the mother-daughter duo from California, had their lap gastric sleeve operation in Costa Rica on the same day by the same bariatric surgeon in the same hospital. This video was recorded 11 months after their sleeve gastrectomy surgery in Costa Rica.
They had tried all kinds of diets like Weight watchers, south east diet, fruit diet, and so on. They also tried working out in the gym.
Because of their higher BMI, they had problems like knee pain and co-morbidities like high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
But gastric sleeve in the US was beyond their budget. Another problem they faced was that Peggy was considered ineligible for bariatric surgery in the US. She was 70 years old when she got the surgery done; 60 is the cut-off for weight loss surgery in the US.
So, they researched on the net for cheaper options for sleeve resection surgery and found Medical Tourism Corporation. They decided on Costa Rica for their weight loss surgery and ended up saving about 40% of what theyd have to pay in the US.
Debra is pleased that Medical Tourism Corporation answered all the questions, and she asked many.
The hospital in Costa Rica to which they went had all the modern equipment and the staff was courteous and professional. There were always English-speaking people around them or they had interpreters. They stayed in private rooms at the hospital which were spacious enough for a companion.
Post-gastric sleeve surgery, Debra lost 80 pounds and Peggy 55. Their general health has improved drastically.
Other discount obesity surgeries Medical Tourism Corporation offers abroad are lap band, gastric bypass, and duodenal switch surgeries.

Vertical Gastric Sleeve in Belgium Testimonial

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:57:00 +0000

Gastric Sleeve experience.

http://www.medicaltourismco.com/weight-loss/gastric-sleeve-surgery-cost.php

Christine Carson, a real estate manager from Las Vegas, Nevada, went to Belgium for her low cost gastro sleeve surgery. She had tried all forms of non-surgical weight loss methods, but in vain. Finally, she looked abroad for solutions.
Medical Tourism Corporation facilitated her affordable bariatric surgery in Belgium by board-certified bariatric surgeons at a quality world-class hospital in Belgium.
Gastric sleeve surgery in the US can be very expensive and Christines insurance company said it would not cover it. It would have cost her $23,000 in Las Vegas. But in Belgium, sleeve gastrectomy cost her fraction of that, all other costs like travel and accommodation included.
The quality of healthcare in Belgium is comparable with the best in the world. Surgeons in Belgium train for many years before they earn their certification. They are very accessible through telephone and email. There is also no language barrier as the doctors and other medical staff speak fluent English.
Other discount obesity surgeries Medical Tourism Corporation offers abroad are lap band, gastric bypass, and duodenal switch surgeries. Mexico, Costa Rica, India are other popular bariatric surgery medical trip destinations.
