A specialists panel advised the FDA to lower the threshold of Body Mass Index that a person must have to be able to begin considering weight loss surgery. In what seems like a positive step to help millions of Americans suffering from obesity, the FDA is endorsing wider use of reversible and less invasive weight loss surgeries like the Gastric Band.
Bringing down the minimum BMI to 35 from the current 40 makes a lot of sense for us at Travel For Care, since we have seen many patients in this range and their results are fantastic. For patients who have tried everything and still have not been able to lose weight, undergoing a weight loss surgery while their BMI is still in their lower 30s comes very much in time to avoid future mishaps. With this market expansion, Travel For Care is as ready as ever to offer Americans and Canadians the best medical tourism has to offer. Mexico continues to provide affordable weight loss surgeries very close to home. With Lap Bands starting at $6,000 at the hands of internationally trained and board certified specialists, the value is clear.
