I am thinking about going to Costa Rica for surgery, but I just cannot make up my mind. Does anyone have any experience with Costa Rica? I have found the Clinica Biblica Hospital a JCI accredited hospital and they offer the gastric sleeve surgery for a very reasonable price. The thing that really attracts me to this facility and the doc is the fact that they require basically the same testing that my doc in the US put me through. They require you see a nutritionist, psych, abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy, respiratory test, and a metabolic analysis. You stay one night in the hospital and then four nights in a recovery facility. Is this too good to be true? Am I missing something here? I cannot make up my mind. I was all ready to go to Mexico until I found this hospital. Oh and the total cost for everything including my husband's airfare and food is 13,500 which is not bad compared to the 33,000 price I received from a doc in Atlanta. My insurance will of course pay for some of those tests listed, but I am tired of dealing with them and would prefer to just have them all done in Costa Rica.
Thanks
