Gastric Bypass Surgery in Mexico at Low Costs
December 26th, 2007 |
Many people visit Mexico for low cost gastric bypass, a surgery for overweight. In a gastric bypass surgery, a surgeon divides the stomach into two connected parts—a small upper pouch and a larger, lower pouch. After the gastric bypass surgery, the patient automatically reduces food intake as he or she starts feeling full earlier. This leads to a dramatic weight loss over a period of six months to two years. Gastric bypass surgery also significantly reduces morbid obesity related illnesses, such as hypertension and heart disease, and related deaths by up to 40% . |

The average cost of the surgery is around $25,000 in USA.
