~I have insurance and I still can’t get it. Medicare won’t cover it. I doubt you’ll find any doctor willing to do it for free.
Good luck.~
The surgery that you mention is still considered elective, and medicaid won’t cover it.
It is also very unsafe, with tons of complications reported (as compared to other surgeries). My doctor refuses to recommend the surgery for anyone for that reason.
And, when you get it done, it won’t work long-term if you don’t do all the things that you’re supposed to do to avoid that problem — exercise, eat right, get counseling, etc. So, why not start that part NOW, and try to avoid a very serious, very expensive, very dangerous and very painful surgery?
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.
Hope this helps.
