Affordable Lap Band Surgery in Mexico is Now Even Less Expensive
Monterrey, Mexico April 30th, 2010
Mexico has been constantly gaining ground as a prime destination for Americans and Canadians looking for weight loss surgery. While it all started back in the 90’s when Lap Band surgeries were not available in the US, today more than 10% of Americans undergoing these procedures choose Mexico given its unbelievable value proposition, experienced surgeons, and convenience. Lap Band surgeries, which are usually around $15,000 in the US can be easily found at around $6,500 in Mexico’s best hospitals, and even less if you know where to look.
Even if the prices found at the best hospitals and with surgeons that have enviable track records are about a third of its peers in the US, the market that favors travelling abroad for surgery is tilting towards the most affordable options of all. Given the simplicity of surgeries such as the lap band and the gastric sleeve, it has been easy for the industry to create an offering made up of nice clinics and up-and-coming doctors that together can offer prices even up to 30% lower than hospitals’. Such is the case of the packages that Travel For Care has set up for American and Canadian medical travelers. “Our most popular packages for weight loss surgery start at $4,500 in Tijuana and at $5,900 in Monterrey (lap band), and we even have specials from time to time, like $300 off in May 2010, so do not hesitate to contact us if you’re looking for affordable weight loss surgery because our prices can’t be beat” states Heather Wicklow, manager at Travel For Care. This also applies to surgeries like the gastric sleeve, where prices like $5,500 make the typical $12,000 sleeve surgery seem expensive in comparison.
Something very important to bear in mind is that the low end of the price spectrum is not necessarily low quality. It is amazing how much can be shaved off a price once the expensive hospital is traded for the nice, smaller clinic. Likewise, young, enthusiastic, and up-and-coming doctors are usually much cheaper than the older generation, while generating lots of experience with its hundreds of yearly surgeries. Specialized companies like Travel For Care can help you choose the option that suits you best taking into account your budget, goals, and priorities.
