Low Cost Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in Mexico Saves Thousands.
Tamara Mattson of Washington chose to have her Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for several reasons, one being the savings. Choosing to have this medical operation done outside of the U.S. saved her almost 40% of what she would have paid to have the same procedure done stateside.
Tamara chose Medical Tourism Corporation, based out of the U.S. to arrange the entire trip for her.
As Tamara and her husband arrived in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, they were greeted by staff to take them to where they were going, which Tamara felt was a nice way to start their trip. They even had time to enjoy a brief vacation before her surgery.
Tamara and her husband were able to see what fun and exciting things Puerto Vallarta has to offer, such as shopping, sight seeing and even having fun at the beach. Prior to her surgery the couple enjoyed kayaking and even went for a ride down a zip line.
At no time during her trip was Tamara hindered by a language barrier. Most of the staff she dealt with spoke English, and when someone didn’t, an interpreter was always present.
