In the light of escalating obesity rates, bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve) may be the last resort for many. However, North Americans may be denied surgery by their insurance companies and find self-payment difficult.

Americans and Canadians troubled by high bariatric surgery prices need not travel out of North America for surgery as cheaper options are available towards the south – in Mexico.

Take a look at the following destinations for quality, yet low-cost gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico.
