Is obesity surgery cheaper in Guatemala than in the United States?
Absolutely. This type of service is a great alternative especially for self-paid patients. Including your plane fare, preoperative evaluation, hotel, surgery, equipment needed for the obesity surgery, and hospital fees, it will be at least half of what you would normally pay for an operation in most hospitals in the United States, with the same safety and effectiveness as if you had your obesity surgery in your own country. Guatemala is among the most affordable countries in Latin America.
