Weight loss surgery, the quickest and most effective way for a person to lose weight permanently, is being adopted by surgery centres abroad to offer Americans safe and inexpensive options to having it done at home.
Several surgical centers in Mexico are working on gaining efficiency and driving greater volume in order to cater to an ever increasing budget-conscious patient segment looking for cheap weight loss surgery.
Gabriel Senior of Mexican medical travel agency Travel For Care, says,
“Even if our offering includes the top surgeons and hospitals in Mexico for prices such as an inexpensive lap band surgery at between $6800 and $8500, which is literally half the US price, lots of interaction with our target market shows us that there is still demand to pay less. But at $6000, such prices are something that can be offered by either a less renowned doctor, or a famous doctor working in a less expensive hospital or clinic. So we have looked for options like the latter.”
Dr. Miguel Angel Zapata, a successful bariatrician from Monterrey, Mexico, operates out of Clinica Vitro. He offers an inexpensive gastric bypass at $10,550 and an affordable lap band surgery at $5900. The next step will be to look carefully at an affordable bariatry clinic in Tijuana that has been focusing on gaining efficiency and driving patient volume, therefore becoming unbelievably competitive in price. With this new clinic the company is exploring offering one of the cheapest gastric bypass surgeries in the market, introduced at the special price of $8499 and also an inexpensive gastric band for just $4990.
