Obesity Away offers surgical treatment for the control of obesity. For the convenience of medical travelers, they offer free online consultations to determine whether a patient is a candidate for the surgery and which specific procedure is right for each person. (Surgery for the control of obesity isn’t appropriate for everyone.)
Obesity Away (www.obesityaway.com) is located in Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and lead by Dr. Oscar Siller Argueta. Practicing in the well-known hospital group, Christus Muguerza, Dr. Siller (pronounced “see-yer”*) and his staff measure success in terms of patient improvement and satisfaction.
With nearly 30 percent of their foreign patients hailing from the United States, the staff of Obesity Away speaks English, as do select personnel in the hospitals they use. They also offer all-inclusive surgical packages that include airline and hotel accommodations, airport/hotel/hospital transportation, and medical staff arrangements. They also have a patient coordinator to guide and support patients.
What to Expect
• Patients should bring lab exams already completed in the US (testing and prescriptions available onsite, as well)
• Hospitals used by Obesity Away are JCI Accredited
• Patients stay in the hospital only for the time necessary to complete the procedure and postoperative care
• Patients generally only stay one additional night (in a hotel) after surgery before being released from care to vacation in Monterrey or return home

About Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Monterrey, often called “the richest city in Mexico,” is considered the industrial capital of the country. Monterrey has a subtropical climate and is located only two hours from the border of Texas. According to Wikipedia.com, “Monterrey has some of the best hospitals in Mexico, especially in cancer treatment, heart diseases, obesity surgery and plastic surgery... Monterrey is considered an international healthcare hub because of the world class private hospitals and facilities that can be found in the city. Some of them are Christus Muguerza, the largest hospital group in northern Mexico and only JCI accredited in the country.” (Recently 2 other hospitals have achieved the JCI Accreditation.)
In addition to the high-quality healthcare available to medical travelers, Monterrey offers excellent shopping and food and impressive tourist destinations, such as the Cola de Caballo waterfall, the Santa Lucía Riverwalk at the Museum of Mexican History, and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
