The reputation Brazil achieved in Obesity Surgery can be explained by the high quality of the surgeons and its lower cost compared to other countries.

Gastric bypass, which changes the anatomy of the digestive system to limit the amount of food a person can eat and digest. It is also the favored bariatric surgery in the United States.

Consider surgery in another country. However, after surgery support for possible complications is something else to consider. Its easier to go back to a local surgeon than it is to a surgeon in another country.

Yes, you are right. When you qualify for surgery under your health plan you might not even have the option to consider doing it elsewhere.

If you do not qualify or do not have insurance then you have to consider the options:
1. Location
2. Procedure and extra applied techniques
3. Experience of surgeon
4. Quality of hospital
5. Special care to avoid complications
6. Post-surgery support
7. Total cost of the surgery

Internet is a great tool, not just for comparing options, also for post- surgery communications.

	Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
