This is something that I have been pndering on for quite sometime. I wanted to know what other women went through (Positive and negative) and if they recommend it. Also, what are the effects on the reproductive system? I wish to have more children in the future, but It doens't seem like a fetus would get enough nurishement if I only have a "pouch" for a stomach. Anyone willing to share their knowledge and experience is very much appriciated! Well, it is something that I thought about too, but haven't done it. I had a friend who had a very bad experience, she got the lapband put around her stomach and it cut into her stomach. But the lapband is a less invasive surgery. Lots of doctors have seminars or free consultations that you can go to. Also, I have never heard it having any effects on the reproductive system. Obesity surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common 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 obesity surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost Obesity surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.
