Major Weight Loss to Save your Life

There is an infinite number of reasons to lose weight, whether it’s about health or aesthetics, losing weight is one of the main issues around the world. However, with people sufering from a big BMI (Body Mass Index) this is no longer a choice of pants size, but a life threatning situation.
Many a times people with large BMI manage to drop some weight by mantaining a healthy diet and working out. However, several people, no matter how hard they try, cannot achieve a healthy BMI or weight.
Under these extraordinary circumstances, weight loss surgery is the last option to gain a healthy lifestyle. Life threatning diseases that are associated with obesity can be prevented and even reversed with weight loss surgery.
People with obesity problems are under high risk of contracting diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease and liver failure among other fatal options. There are several surgical procedures that can reverse this situation. It is necessary to analyze each case in order to choose the best option for the patient.
One of the most known procedures is in fact Gastric Bypass. This procedure reduces the stomach’s size and reconnects the spair, larger part of the stomach into the intestine, so that digestion is somewhat assisted along side the digestive tract.
In the US and other countries, these type of procedures are sometimes not convered by insurance, thus leaving the patient somewhat unprotected. These surgeries can come with a high cost, and with no insurance to back it up, patients lose all hope.
However, a modern movement throughout the world has made advanced medicine cheaper and more accesible: Medical Tourism. This trend offers the same medical specialty and accuracy in less expensive countries. Special clinics around the world who are internationally certified, hospitals and care facilities you can trust and what’s more, thy cost less than half its original price in your home country. An example of these types of medical institutes is OLA: Obesity and Advanced Laparoscopy in Guadalajara, Mexico. The hospital is internationally recognized and has one of the most surgical advanced systems in the world, the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System, only 200 robots available around the world.
