Our Take
The draw here is a genuinely all-inclusive package at JCI/ICONTEC-accredited hospitals, with the coffee region as an unusually pleasant recovery setting. It's a coordinator/facilitator rather than a single clinic, so ask exactly which hospital and which surgeon you'll get, and confirm their bariatric-specific volume before you commit.
