Question

Answer 1

Gastric Bypass Surgery /gastrectomy/stomach stapling /lapband (all types of bariatric 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 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

Answer 2

Information about Gastric Bypass Surgery
Weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass, gastric band surgery, stomach stapling and gastrectomy are becoming very common and increasingly safer nowadays.
We have heard reports of people who previously visited Hospitals in France for gastric bypass are more than pleased with the results having lost as much as 65 lbs in 5 months and consequently are very happy with the results.
The price for obesity surgery is much less in France due to the fact that the prices for surgery are strictly controlled by the French Health authority. Typically cost for gastric Bypass surgery can be at least 25% lower than in the UK or Ireland and many other places in Europe.
I learned about Laser Clinics (France) Ltd from searching the internet for gastric Bypass Surgery in France. On their website you will find a FREE information request form and if you fill in the Form they will give you a list of previous patient who you contact and hear about their own personal experiences also.
UK and other international patients who plan to have weight loss surgery abroad for low cost, such as bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery can check on the website for testimonials from past clients.
There are huge cost savings to found on the website. The surgeons at the Hospitals in France are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Hope this helps

I haven't had it but I know like 6 people who have and they said it changed their lives forever. The only withdrawl is that they have to have certain amounts of protein and vitamins in their diet. Some have lost their har and nails break easily, some have sagging skin. I think it depends on the case. Do a lot of research before you make that step. Take Care
