Lap Band surgery in America can be quite expensive. Many morbidly obese American look to other alternatives when seeking information on the lap band surgery. One such place is Mexico. However the high rate of Lap band deaths in Mexico is a big concerns to many.

They’re aware that they can get the treatment done at a cheaper price in Mexico, and are considering having it done there.

But they’re not not just concerned with price, they’re even more concerned about their safety (and their life itself) because Mexico is not exactly known for high standards in any field, let alone surgery. But when they Google “lap band deaths in Mexico”, they can hardly find any information.

The lack of information leads to rumors and speculation about how dangerous it is to have lap band surgery in Mexico.

So what’s the outcome of all this? Are many American’s still dying from cheap lap band surgery in Mexico? Is it safe to have the lap band surgery in Mexico, and has it gotten better? Is it still cheap to have the surgery done there?

Well here is the good the bad and the ugly about the situation. The good news is the rumors seems to have no basis or evidence of truth to them.

The federal government has not issued any alerts or warnings about it. The only warnings having to do with Mexico is for travelers to be careful because of the high rate of drugs related incidences, all related to violence. If these rumors about he high death rate due to lap band surgery were true, the Federal government would surely put out and alert to make us aware of the situation and this has not been done to date.
