Dr. Roberto Rizzi:
"I was amazed at how many people need this operation but are not covered by medical insurance. I want to offer the opportunity for such people to have safe and affordable obesity surgery at a fixed cost," says Dr Roberto Rizzi, who has been active in laparoscopic surgery in Brazil since 1992.
"After consulting with my multi-disciplinary team, we were able to
structure a package which includes laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery
in one of the best hospitals in Brazil, pre and post-care follow-up and the excellent services of Great Start Ltda to manage local transport, patient coordination and assistance. All at a fixed cost, even if complications should occur during the surgery."
