“I have Barrett’s esophagus “
A buddy with serious dental problems got estimates of around $45,000 to fix it. (Several implants and graphs required.) His wife, a travel agent and a wonderful researcher, found several forums discussing medical tourism and investigated the doctors, also on-line. They went to Mexico and had the work done there for $11,000. He was thrilled with the result and now he has Hollywood teeth, perfect in every way.
I’m not saying that all things found on the internet are okay. The buyer must beware. But I’d suggest you start by finding a forum that handles your problem and then ask what other have found.
I’ve read that you can have a hip replaced in India at a facility that outclasses many here, for $3,000.
I wish you much luck and would like to know how you fare.
One problem with tourista medicine is that if there are problems you have to go back to wherever you went to get things fixed. Sometimes there are disputes and if you feel you got shorted there is not a lot you can do.
