Hi all, I am currently thinking about gastric bypass and am probably going to have it done overseas. As I work overseas as a contractor with the DOS my insurance covers me worldwide. I have been talking to a company called Medjourneys and they have a program where I can get the procedure done in India. They will fly me from Dubai, UAE and my fiance from Boston, Ma to meet me. I will have the procedure performed by a Indian Doctor that is accredited in the US and has a very good list of credentials from his time in the US, that so far check out. For the entire operation including all tests,,procedures hospitalization, minimum 5 days in the private hospital and airfare for us both they are going to charge me 12,200 US dollars. It even includes the private guest house we will stay in after my discharge with private nurses visits and a private car at our disposal. I think this is a great deal, and from what I have read India hospitals are on par with US and British. My insurance will pick up the medical part of the charges. Has anyone else had this procedure done overseas or any other experiences having things done on a so called medical-tourism type situation?
