Latin American Destinations: Focus on Obesity and Bariatric Surgeries

Posted on May 10, 2010

Facilities throughout Mexico, Central and South America have become world renowned for their ability to provide a variety of obesity and bariatric surgery procedures.

Obesity surgery centers have become increasingly popular south of the border due to rising healthcare costs in the United States, coupled with long wait times.

Increasing numbers of North Americans, including Canadians, as well as individuals from Western Europe, are traveling to South American facilities such as the Antiobesity Center located in Cancun, Mexico or seeking the specialized services of experts like Dr. Marco More, bariatric surgeon in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bariatric weight loss surgery includes a variety of procedures, including laparoscopic gastric banding, gastric bypass, obesity plastic surgery, weight loss treatment facilities, banded and vertical gastroplasty, among others.
