Gastric bypass abroad – why?

So, why should you decide on gastric bypass or any weight loss surgery abroad?

Three major reasons: 

1. Having gastric bypass abroad gives you a whole lot of choices between premium quality clinics and professionals.
2. Gastric bypass surgery prices – cost varies a lot across Europe, you may easily save 2/3 of what you would pay in some local private clinics.
3. Speed. Choosing to have the surgery off-motherland can cut the waiting from several years to mere 3-4 months.

…and where?

As previously explained, there are some major reasons for choosing gastric bypass abroad.

When it comes to gastric bypass, Europe has a good dozen countries to choose between, starting with high-end countries like Switzerland and France – but the high prices hint that for several common bariatric surgeries, including gastric bypass, Latvia, a Baltic country, could be the best option, both for a much lower price, experts and years of high success rates.
