PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, offers obesity and weight loss facilities, centers and surgical centers for consumers for use in determining weight loss surgeries, techniques, procedures and programs abroad.

Successful and long-term weight loss and weight loss management also involves support, both short-term and long-term during the weight loss process.  Counseling, group support, and understanding of diet and nutrition as well as the importance of exercise is vital in any successful gastric bypass surgery for obesity, any type of laparoscopic band surgery, and for long-term sleeve gastrectomy recovery and other bariatric surgeries. 

Traveling to another country to have a wide variety of procedures done has grown increasingly popular as costs for procedures continue to cause financial hardship and strain on Americans.  If you haven’t really seriously considered traveling to another country to have your procedure done, you should.  Traveling outside of national borders saves patients thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on various surgeries and medical procedures.  In some cases, choosing to have surgery abroad costs about a tenth of what you’d pay for the same procedure in the U.S.

Foreign weight loss facilities such as those found in South of the Border destinations offer some of the best obesity surgery abroad. Weight loss is important for health and wellness. Facilities like those provided by Dr. Marco More in Buenos Aires, Argentina or the Antiobesity Center in Cancun, Mexico, offer patients around the world affordable weight loss treatments that apply high standards of care and effective treatments.
