Gastric Balloon Abroad

Gastric balloon abroad, among other bariatric surgeries, is gaining popularity thanks to the idea of medical tourism. In the modern world, it is extremely easy and safe to get weight loss surgery abroad. A gastric surgery (also called an obesity-surgery) is a relatively expensive surgery once performed in a private clinic. Usually, people decide to undergo a bariatric surgery abroad because they are not qualified for the NHS surgery, or the NHS waiting lists are too long, or they cannot afford weight loss surgery in their home country. 

Well, so what is bariatric surgery? It is a live-saving surgery that enables fast and safe weightloss. Depending on the type of obesity-surgery, it makes changes to the stomach and digestive system, as a result of which, patients eat much less food and do not feel hunger as they had before. Gastric balloon (called stomach balloon or orbera balloon) is a short-term non-surgical procedure, but the results are long-term of course. The main idea of the cheap gastric balloon surgery abroad is putting a balloon in the stomach, which significantly decreases its capacity and causes rapid weight loss. Generally, gastric balloon surgery abroad entails placing a balloon for either 6 or 12 months (afterward it is removed) – this time allows for the desired weight loss. Below, we present the important aspects of the cheap gastric balloon as a type of medical treatment abroad.

Advantages of gastric balloon abroad

Having a gastric balloon obesity procedure is a life-changing decision which requires a great motivation and discipline of a patient. Doing such a surgery abroad is even more demanding, but there are so many advantages of a gastric balloon abroad that it is definitely worth considering. Below are some of the advantages of having gastric balloon abroad. 

Gastric balloon abroad is cheaper

British pounds in walletThe main reason why we are travelling abroad to get medical treatment is the gastric balloon cost. There are countries like the UK, Ireland, the USA, Scandinavian countries, Germany where weight loss surgery prices are so high that most people just cannot afford it. On the other hand, there are countries e.g. Turkey, Poland, Mexico, or Lithuania which offer much lower weight loss surgery cost. To give an example, the average cost of a cheap gastric balloon UK is 8000 GBP while in Poland or Turkey the same cheap gastric balloon surgery abroad costs around 2000 GBP. It allows for huge savings even after adding additional medical tourism cost (e.g. flights and hotel). It is just impossible to find such a cheap weight loss surgery UK or such a cheap weight loss surgery USA, no wonder many people decide to go abroad. The gastric balloon surgery abroad prices that some countries offer stems from the currency that is used, costs of living, recurrent expenses and salaries, and the quality of the surgery and clinics standards are still very high. 

Bariatric surgeons abroad perform different kinds of bariatric surgeries and they are well-educated

Regardless of the country where you have a weight loss surgery, checking the surgeon is a normal thing that we all do. Finding the qualified weight loss doctors is a key to surgery success. Nowadays, there are numerous websites where we can find top bariatric surgeons in any country we want. We advise anyone to check the surgeon’s qualifications, experience, and types of weight loss surgery that he specialises in. There are also medical travel agencies that offer free help with finding the top rated bariatric surgeons who are well educated and qualified to perform different types of weight loss surgery. Firstly, patients need to verify whether the surgeon is certified and allowed to perform desired weight loss surgery options, then they should analyse any reviews from his patients and lastly, check whether the clinic where he works follows the high standards that enable the best weight loss surgery. Once this information is satisfying, we can entrust our life and health to this surgeon regardless of the country where he is. 

Doctors abroad communicate perfectly in English

The private clinics across the world can be divided into 2 groups:

  • clinics focused on domestic patients
  • clinics focused on foreign patients or both domestic and foreign patients.

Portrait smiling male doctors making rounds in hospitalThe medical tourism market is so developed that there are more and more clinics that offer their service to international patients. These clinics hire only English speaking doctors (who are top bariatric surgeons), offer assistance from an English-speaking coordinator, and require their staff to speak English fluently. So, there is no need to look for the surgery only in the English speaking countries, there are many qualified and well educated bariatric surgery surgeons speaking English in such countries as Poland, Turkey, Mexico, or Thailand. Generally, modern medicine, including universities, conferences, hospitals, or symposia, uses English as a prevalent language ( it belongs to the required qualifications). If, by any chance, you find a clinic that advertises itself on a medical tourism market, and the surgeon does not speak English, ask the clinic whether they have a translator – it is very frequent that clinics hire a person who helps with the communication between the weight loss doctors and patients to exclude any misunderstandings.

High quality treatments are available in clinics abroad

Any bariatric surgery clinic that offers its services to the international patients must follow the highest health-care standards. The easiest way is checking which health care certificate set by the country authorities is a must-have for the best bariatric clinic – e.g. in Turkey, the best clinics follow JCI accreditation standards, in the USA there is AAAHC accreditation, also there are regulations for health care institutions set by the European Union, which all EU members need to follow. The clinics available for medical tourists make great efforts to implement modern techniques, provide the best equipment clinic and use the latest technologies for the surgeries. The details about the clinics can be easily found on the Internet – many clinics offer the English version of their website, so we advise you to check the offer of a considered bariatric clinic.
