BPD/DS for $9000 Cash in Brazil……?
I have information on a surgeon in Brazil who preforms the BPD/DS (I
think Lap) for $9000 “cash”. My question is…..is this a “good” rate
of not? Also, what is the cost of WLS for “cash” only people that do
not have insurance that will pay?
Thanks for helping,

Don’t go to a foreign country for invasive surgery. There are so many horror
stories
about people who do that. The complications are amazing, the follow up
non-existant, the procedure sometimes is performed incorrectly if at all and the
medications given sometimes aren’t the same quality we have here. I’ve read alot
about foreign surgeries and their horror stories. There are a few good ones
but the
bad one out number them about 10 to 1. Do your research, find somewhere in
the
U.S. that will do your surgery, take out a loan, get a job where insurance
there coveres this procedure, cash in your 401k, hit up grandma for your
inheritance early but don’t go outside the country (at least not that far away)
for a
surgery that is
life threatening under the best of conditions.
