What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation to assess your candidacy for bariatric surgery and identify any risk factors that need to be addressed. This includes review of your weight history, previous diet attempts, medical conditions, and personal goals. We also conduct psychological evaluations to ensure you're mentally prepared for the lifestyle changes required after surgery.
Once cleared for surgery, we coordinate all travel arrangements and provide detailed pre-operative instructions. You'll receive comprehensive education about your chosen procedure, expected recovery timeline, and long-term dietary requirements. Post-operatively, we maintain close contact during your recovery period and coordinate follow-up care with local providers. Our support continues long-term with access to nutritional counseling and support groups.

Insurance & Pricing
While most insurance plans don't cover bariatric surgery performed in Mexico, we help patients explore all available options and provide detailed documentation for potential reimbursement. Some patients successfully receive partial reimbursement for related services like nutritional counseling and follow-up care.
Our surgical packages range from $4,500-$8,500 depending on the procedure, which includes surgery, hospital stay, medications, and initial follow-up. We offer various financing options including medical loans and payment plans. The total cost is typically 60-70% less than comparable procedures in the United States, making surgery accessible for many patients who couldn't otherwise afford it.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before considering surgery, ensure you've attempted medically supervised weight loss for at least six months and have a BMI of 35 or higher with comorbidities, or BMI over 40. Attend our informational seminars to fully understand the risks, benefits, and lifestyle changes required. Complete all pre-operative requirements including medical clearances and psychological evaluation.
Post-surgery success depends heavily on your commitment to following dietary guidelines and attending follow-up appointments. Start building your support network before surgery, including family members and local support groups. Plan for time off work and assistance at home during recovery. Most importantly, understand that surgery is a tool that requires lifelong commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes for optimal results.
