Gastric Banding surgery Abroad

Dr. O, Oklahoma, USA

I am a practicing Eye specialist doctor- an Ophthalmologist. After trying every diet plan and weight loss product I had ever heard of, and spending loads of my hard-earned money in the process, i was making no progress with losing weight and keeping it off. In fact for about 15 years I was steadily gaining more and more weight. By my 54th birthday, I was morbidly obese on my 5 feet 10 inches frame. I was very unhappy about this and I knew I needed to explore other possibilities for weight loss, especially with a very strong family history of Diabetes Mellitus.

After thorough research for solutions, i chose Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding surgery overseas in India, a country very well known for well trained medical professionals and world-class medical facilities, providing reliable healthcare at affordable cost- at a mere fraction of the cost in USA. Being a doctor my self, choosing an overseas destination for my own surgery was a difficult decision initially.

Health Treatment and Travel

M V Wales, UK
I needed some dental job, cosmetic surgery and skin treatments. I learnt of the discounted overseas dental tourism packages and medical travel plans from the Life Smile healthcare web portals. After learning more on the affordable and high quality overseas cosmetic surgery plans and the skin treatments abroad in India, I contacted the specialist team of doctors with Life Smile healthcare for the expert medical opinion.

The board certified dermatologist, dentist and cosmetic surgeon replied to all of my questions and satisfied with all of the medical travel services offered by Life Smile, I booked my dates. I was received at the airport by Life Smile representative, a pleasant young lady and reached at my hotel with her.

I got the skin peeling, skin laser and permanent laser hair removal procedures after consultations and examination by a dermatologist, a senior skin specialist at the skin clinic. I also got the dental fillings, metal fused ceramic dental crowns – the dental caps at a dentistry clinic. I was always fearful of the pain with the dental procedures but the dentist in India worked so well that I hardly felt any pain during and after the dental work. A day later my lip augmentation and chin surgery procedures were performed and I am very happy with the job done by my cosmetic plastic surgeon abroad in India since he has given me the best cosmetic surgery results, true to my expectations.

All the procedures schedules, consultations bookings, accommodations and the entire medical travel were managed by Life Smile and I am very happy with their facilitation services.
