You are right nolongerfat, cheaper isn't always better. However, Mid Michigan Medical Travel Agency LLC strives to match individuals with the best international hospitals in the world for their desired treatment. In this case, bariatric procedures such as LAP-BANDing. The main goal of MMMTA is not to save money, but to provide access. It is usually preferrable to have these procedures done domestically, but medical tourism may be the right choice for individuals who lack the financial ability to get a potentially life-saving medical procedure. I'm glad that you were able to get the surgery you needed and are pleased with the work in Texas. I hope that I can help Michiganders get the same results and level of satisfaction you did.

My name is Matthew LaFountain, it's nice to meet everyone. I am the owner of Mid Michigan Medical Travel Agency LLC and I help coordinate international travel for individuals seeking medical treatments not covered by their health insurance. Many bariatric treatments can be obtained affordably at some of the world's best international hospitals and Mid Michigan Medical Travel Agency LLC is here to help you gain access to the procedures you need. For example, a highly accredited hospital in Brazil offers the LAP-BAND system $6000-7500 (USD). A Mexican hospital which is part of an international chain of hospitals and clinics based in Texas offers gastric bypass surgery for around $8000. These are just a few examples of the affordable help that can be obtained internationally. Please feel free to contact me or go to the Mid Michigan Medical Travel Agency LLC's website if you are interested in more information.

For Michiganders who are finding bariatric care too expensive or lack sufficient coverage by a health insurance plan, consider going abroad for your procedure. (For transparency's sake, I am the owner of MMMTA) Happy travels everyone!

yes mica, I appreciate your eye for detail. Thanks for catching my mistake.

Hello, I'm Matthew from Mid Michigan Medical Travel Agency LLC, specializing in coordinating trips abroad for affordable medical procedures. This is a new company and I am interested to hear if anyone from the Mid Michigan area has any experiences they would like to share with bariatric procedures as medical tourists. Poking around a bit, it looks like Mexico is the most common destination.
