I was wondering if anyone has this surgery done overseas and if so how did it go? how do you feel now? do you recommend it? how much did it cost?
The reason i would like to know is because i have no insurance and its so expensive here i’ve heard of it being done in different countries for a lot cheeper. so if you can give me some information i would really appreciate it.
Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as Bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.
Overseas where? I would not recommend getting any kind of surgery overseas, I’ve heard so many horror stories about people who have gotten life threatening infections and not only that how can you be sure these "doctors" know what they’re doing, you could die. You get what you pay for.
No way! I value my life to much!
You want to lose weight so bad that you are willing to risk dieing in some strange foreign country rather then do what is healthier and free, exercise? BTW, if you can move you can exercise!
