Frustrated by limits imposed by U.S. health plans–which typically require patients to have a BMI of 40–patients are increasingly going to Mexico to get bariatric surgeries. They’re doing this even though Mexican prices for bariatric surgical procedures are only slightly lower than those in the U.S.–and even though there are still some questions as to whether they’ll get a safe, high-quality procedure. Patients say they simply can’t get their procedures in this country.”*
