Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/22/2016 -- Going abroad for a weight loss surgery is not an easy decision, however it's being taken by the majority of men and women in many European countries due to the price of surgery being too high.
Gastric sleeve surgery abroad, just as other types of surgeries, is becoming a common choice, and is being seen as positive experience by those who already got their surgery performed in another country.
And while at first it may seem as simple as just booking the dates and getting flight tickets, there's some more to it – preparation for the surgery.
Preparing for gastric sleeve surgery abroad
It is required by EU laws that each patient wanting to undergo gastric surgery had necessary doctor referrals: gastroenterologist's, endocrinologist's, dietitian's, psychologist's consultations and feedback are absolutely necessary. No self-respected surgeon or hospital would accept patients for gastric surgery without this, and this is even more important when going abroad for weight loss surgery.
"If a hospital or surgeon accepts patient for surgery without the necessary doctor consultations, tests and referrals, it's an instant red flag for everyone considering that hospital or surgeon for their gastric sleeve surgery abroad." – says Andrius Jonutis, the General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania.
"There are many more people who would like to get gastric surgery performed than there are those who can actually be accepted as patients fur such surgery. It is not very rare for a person to plan for surgery while a psychologist's record shows they have psychological issues about their weight, and it's a mental and not physical necessity for gastric surgery to be performed." – Andrius Jonutis adds.
At Kardiolita Hospital, all preparation, tests, consultations and referrals can be done while in the hospital, prior to the surgery so patients would not need to spend time in their country before coming for the surgery. The cost of this preparation is also significantly lower than what one would pay in the UK, Germany or Scandinavian countries.
At Kardiolita Hospital, gastric surgery prices start at 4500 Eur, which is significantly lower than in other European countries and therefore is a huge deciding factor for patients from abroad.
