For people whose BMI falls in the morbidly obese range, gastrectomy could be a viable option. However, bariatric surgery in the United States may be out of one’s budget. SILS or single incision sleeve gastrectomy in Mexico can help patients lose a significant amount of weight without breaking the bank.Medical tourism in Mexico is growing as high quality health care in Mexico is available at pocket-friendly prices.

Medical tourists traveling from the United States can now obtain a pass from Mexican doctors granting them access to a special lane at the US-Mexico border, according to an article written by Jude Joffe-Block and published on the Fronteras Desk website on April 30, 2012. It is no wonder that so many foreign patients are traveling to Mexican cities such as PVR (Puerto Vallarta) and GDL (Guadalajara) for minimally invasive gastric sleeve.
