How to Have Gall Bladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy) Abroad – Medical Tourism (Real Examples)01 Mar
Two examples below
Merry Farmer was having problems with her gall bladder for more than 22 years. She had even been hospitalized once and treated for infection. Even though she had HMO insurance, every time she would go to the doctors, they would say she did not gall stones which warranted removal. Later the insurance also lapsed.
Then she decided to research where else she could have the surgery done. She settled for Mexico. She went to Puerto Vallarta and had the surgery at the Cornerstone Hospital under Dr. Juan Velazquez. She is now pain free.
Allan Miller of Seaview, WA, was having severe abdominal pain for two months. Investigations revealed that he needed a cholecystectomy. He did not have medical insurance and so decided to seek treatment abroad.
He explored the options of having the surgery in Belgium, Turkey and India. However, he did not want to take too much time off and travel for too long. So he picked on having gallbladder surgery at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico. After two nights in the hospital, he rested for three more days in San Diego. It cost him $6,000, whereas the cost in the US would have been in the range of $20,000.
