Mexico Lap Band Surgery Cost
The lap band surgery cost in Mexico is significantly lower than that in USA. Even after considering travel and lodging expenses, a 50% to 60% cost savings can be achieved.
Also, the proximity to USA & in terms of geography and culture are advantages of visiting Mexico for cheap overseas medical treatment. Medical Tourism Corporation has in its network some very renowned medical hospitals in Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Reynosa & Monterrey. These Hospitals are just 15 minutes drive from the USA-Mexico border.
Cheap bariatric surgery in Mexico does not mean the quality is inferior. Mexico has some of the most experienced and qualified lapband surgeons. Hundreds of Americans visit Mexico for a satisfying lap band surgery every month. Many Mexican surgeons are certified by lap band manufacturer INAMED Health(now Allergan) to train other doctors in America (including in United States).
The Mexico lap band surgery cost is comparable to that in Asia (India & Thailand), but quite lower compared to the USA, UK & Canada. Following are some approximate lap band surgery costs across the world:

Very few USA insurance plans cover lap band surgery in Mexico. In most cases the patient has to self finance the surgery. Funding bariatric surgery through bank loans is another common & easy option to finance a lap band surgery in Mexico.
