Frequently Asked Questions
There are many reasons why gastric sleeve in Mexico is less expensive than the US or Canada. View the reasons here.
The average weight loss after gastric sleeve surgery is 50-70 percent of the excess body weight. For example, if you are 100 pounds overweight, you can expect to lose between 50 and 70 pounds. Results vary from individual to individual.
If you are significantly overweight and have been unable to lose weight using other methods, a gastric sleeve may be right for you. Generally, you could benefit from the procedure if you have a BMI over 30.
Because gastric sleeve is often considered an elective surgery, it is often not covered by insurance. However, if you meet specific requirements, it may be fully or partially covered. Speak with your health insurance provider, as coverage varies. If you are not approved, medical tourism is a great alternative.
As with any surgery, a gastric sleeve procedure has its share of risks. However, it’s generally considered safe. Before getting started, review any risks and potential side effects with your surgeon.
The best way to determine if gastric sleeve surgery suits your health needs is to speak to one of our board-certified surgeons. Contact us today to set up a consultation. You can reach us via phone and email.
