My History

Welcome to MedNetBrazil!! My name is Christi de Moraes and I'd like to share my personal story about just how MedNetBrazil came to be and why we are truly a unique, 5-star Medical Concierge Service with more experience in our five years of service, than any other in Brazil.

MedNetBrazil.com started with my own journey from Morbid Obesity and subsequent Weight Loss Surgery in 2001, (laparoscopic BPD/DS) and then, a year and a half later, onto several stages of Body Reconstruction after Massive Weight Loss, which were performed in Brazil with a skilled Brazilian Plastic Surgeon. What started as temporary family relocation plans, came the possibility to finish my journey to "normalcy," and subsequently... MedNetBrazil!

From my Weight Loss Surgery research beginnings, I knew that I wanted to give back to others like me who were desperately needing procedures that would not or could not be paid for in the US. As I shared my Plastic Surgery journey, from my laptop in Brazil, with online support groups, and others like myself, just trying to get to "normal" after weight loss surgery, being told by insurance companies what was "medically necessary" or not, shocked by prices for needed procedures in the USA, horrified at some results and just being frustrated, I realized that I could help others like myself by giving them the opportunity I had by coming to Brazil, the Plastic Surgery Capital of the World, and having these Life Altering and Transformational procedures done for a fraction of the price by various skilled surgeons that had earned their local and international reputations.
