At least four Jews from the US who traveled to Mexico for “bariatric surgery” have returned without kidneys, Yeshiva World News reported.
Bariatric surgery includes any number of medical procedures which shrink or reconfigure the stomach for purposes of weight loss.
According to Yeshiva World News, the victims reported not feeling well upon returning to their homes in the New York area, after which it was found that their kidneys had been stolen from them.
Mexico has become a popular destination for US residents seeking bariatric surgery, due to the lower cost of the surgery in Mexico and the fact that US insurance companies are not always ready to cover the procedure in the US.
The report noted that bariatric surgery in the US costs on average between $10,800 and $35,000.
In contrast, the surgery in Mexico costs on average between $3,000 and $11,000.

I guess now you know why the surgery was so cheap. Sad thing is if the thieves hadn't been greedy and taken both kidneys, it would have been years before the thief was discovered.
They are always trying to save a buck.
They?? 1:46 - Want to elaborate or should I just assume you are an ignorant pig?
