Reasons You Should Consider A Mini Gastric Bypass

By Justin Curruthers

The mini gastric bypass operation is a new and effective way to lose weight rapidly when other techniques have not worked. The procedure is straightforward and only takes around half an hour and requires an overnight hospital stay.

There are several advantages to having a mini gastric bypass done. The operation is not very painful and it is also easy to have reversed. When the surgery is complete you develop a feeling of fullness much more quickly, which helps weight to drop off. It is considered a safe medical procedure and involves much less recovery time than a standard gastric bypass operation.

This type of surgery is generally not covered by health insurance companies and this can make it an expensive exercise. Most people end up having to save up or take out a personal loan in order to finance the procedure in the United States.

So as to avoid high surgical fees, many people are now opting to have cosmetic surgery done in other countries. Cancun, Mexico is a popular destination for medical tourism thanks to its close proximity to the USA. Other locations that are becoming popular for cosmetic surgery include: Thailand, South Africa, Brazil and Peru.

Other locations worldwide where medical tourism is becoming popular are Brazil, Peru, Thailand and South Africa. At these locations you can find cosmetic and plastic surgeons that are registered with American surgical groups and comply with American health standards who will perform your surgery for less.

There are several reasons that surgery costs less in these countries. Generally clinic fees and surgeons fees are much lower in these countries due to lower cost of living. These two fees are what makes up the lion's share of any cosmetic surgery's total cost. Also the amount of professional insurance that doctors and hospitals are charged tend to be much lower in other countries around the world.

Medical tourism is beginning to make surgery more accessible to everyday people and at the same time you get to vacation during your recovery period in an exotic location. There are several websites now that can even organize the whole procedure and trip for you. They take the fuss out of everything and all you need to do is organize your passport.

If you are unhappy with your weight and you have tried everything else to get you weight down without success, then having a mini gastric bypass could be a very good option. The surgery allows you to lose weight quickly and if you decide to have the surgery done in another country, then you can reduce the total price of the surgery substantially. Start your research today and you will be one step closer to a healthy and happy body and better confidence.
