What are the immediate consequences of seeking affordable medical procedures abroad, as exemplified by Lisa Roemeling's case?

Lisa Roemeling, a 53-year-old mother, died from complications of a discount gastric bypass surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. The surgery, costing approximately $7,000, was organized through a medical tourism company, as she could not afford the $30,000 procedure in the US. Post-surgery, she suffered internal bleeding and sepsis, leading to her death.
