Health care in the US is primarily a for profit business, unfortunately. And it's based on insurance profit and decisions not actual medical needs.

If you are playing for your surgery then Mexico can be an excellent option. We have a Mexico forum on Obesity Help.

I do not know anything about geting surgery in Canada. In Mexico you will be steered to get a gastric sleeve. I personally do not believe that will work as well as RNY. Dr. Alvarez used to post on here a lot. He does gastric sleeves in Mexico. He has many videos on Youtube that are very informative. Do you research well, it is a big step in life and you want to be as successul as possible.
