Hello there! How are you today?
We are guessing that if you are reading this article, you were browsing either for weight loss surgery abroad or at least different options for weight loss surgery. You are considering it and weighing (pun intended!) your options. We are writing this to lend you a hand or any preferred limb.
Why travel abroad?
Most people first turn to their GP to discuss these matters. And the GP is entitled to refer you to the options locally available, be it NHS or private clinics. It is all logical and understandable. But so is the fact that your local options are either way out of your budget or have a waiting list longer than you can healthily afford. And therefore, you should, from the very beginning, consider weight loss surgery abroad.
Why is Europe a good option?
While United Arab Emirates, India and, say, South America offers many wonderful clinics and professional services, having your weight loss surgery in Europe comes with serious extra benefits:
- For example, getting to a hospital in Riga takes a lot less time, effort, money, and painkillers than making it to Delhi. Even if traveling there could yet be some fun, returning with a plane, fresh stitches, and a 6+ hours flight is something we would not recommend (if only, then for some much less loved political leaders).
- No cultural shocks, be it weather, food, or language. There are times to go wild tourists, and times to take it easy and self-care.
- It keeps your budget for the operation + care package, without spending most of it on complicated travels (save that for the holiday you are going to have once recovered to celebrate the new you!)
What makes Latvia stand out?
And, once we have come to weight the options of having weight loss surgery abroad it is impossible to get past weight loss surgery in Latvia, and not just because Latvians really know how to make good ads and landing pages.
Here be 6 reasons why a clinic in Riga might just be the place for you:
- Riga has one of the biggest air transport hubs in Europe – in a few hours you will be there. Not in the country, the very city. Less hassle saves money.
- It is a lovely European city and holds the standards up and high. And while not everybody may speak your language, any official venues and of course, the hospitals do so, with much experience.
- Lovely weather, not too cold, not too hot.
- Compared to the good old UK, all the prices are a lot cheaper. It is tourist heaven.
- Compared to NHS waiting lists (1-2-3 years) you can grab a spot in 1-2 months.
- And finally – the weight loss clinics are super professional and have years and tons of experience.
