Gastric Bypass Surgery-Mexico or India?

I am seriously thinking of getting gastric bypass surgery--where should i go--Mexico or India?I want to consider all the factors-cost,safety,long term effects of the surgery,followup and other
criteria that can help me make a balanced decision

Gastric Bypass Surgery /gastrectomy/stomach stapling /lapband (all types of weight loss surgery) is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your obesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her revision surgery for gastric bypass in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 65lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps

I dont think so--that Mexico can ever match upto the standards of India in healthcare--you should get it in India!

India. Because a lot of doctors not only are better qualified but are also taught in English. If you have seen the news, lots of people are going to India for many surgical procedures even the most critical ones.

Why go out of the US to have it done? I had lapband surgery done here in the US.. Do your research because I'm from Mexico and I would not consider having the surgery there even though its less expensive.. Doctors there can not be held accountable for malpractice.. They usually just pack up and move to start their practice somewhere else.. There are alot of people who claim to be doctors and aren't.. Have to be careful.. goodluck

Dang, if you have enough money to do it in India, because of travel costs I mean, then why don't you just have it done here in the U.S.? Safety is keen here and if they mess up you have legal recourse. And never, I repeat NEVER get anything done in Mexico. We get tons of people at the hospital I work at that had hernia repairs, plastic surgery, and yes, gastric bypass surgery across the border or even all the way in Mexico City who have gotten infections that have put them into sepsis (infection in the blood stream-very critical, life threatening). And come to think of it, I don't trust the doctors or the conditions in India either! Do it here, save yourself many painful days in hospitals afterward! Although one doctor here in yahoo answers recommended going to India, I don't know if I would though.
