I had surgery here 2 months ago and it was a life changing experience. The surgery went great and have had zero issues post op. The patient coordinator JC was a great guide through the process. The doctors and the staff were wonderful. My only regret was not getting it done sooner.

Find the Right Weight Loss Procedure for You

Every procedure offers powerful weight loss and the potential to improve or resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease and sleep apnea. Our surgeons will help you select the safest, most effective option for your goals.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Icon
Gastric Sleeve (VSG)
→ Best for first-time bariatric patients
Most Popular

Our most popular surgery. About 80% of the stomach is removed to create a narrow “sleeve,” helping you feel full with much smaller meals. Gastric sleeve is ideal for patients seeking strong results with a straightforward procedure and fast recovery.

  • Typical excess weight loss: 60–70% in 12–18 months*
  • No intestinal rerouting
  • Can improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions
Learn about Gastric Sleeve
Single Incision Scarless Sleeve Icon
Single Incision “Scarless” Sleeve

A specialized variation of the gastric sleeve performed through a single discreet incision, often hidden in the navel. This approach can mean fewer visible scars and a highly aesthetic outcome, while preserving the proven results of the standard sleeve.

  • Same core benefits as gastric sleeve
  • One well-hidden incision
  • Performed only by advanced sleeve experts
Explore Single Incision Sleeve
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Icon
Mini Gastric Bypass
→ Ideal for reflux or higher BMI

Mini gastric bypass combines restriction with a malabsorptive component to help you lose more weight and address severe obesity or reflux. Your surgeon creates a small pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine, reducing calories and nutrient absorption.

  • Strong results for higher BMI patients
  • Can offer powerful diabetes improvement
  • Shorter operative time than full bypass in many cases
Learn about Mini Bypass
Revision and Conversion Bariatric Surgery Icon
Revision & Conversion Surgery
→ For previous bariatric surgery patients

Experiencing weight regain, complications, or a failed bariatric surgery performed elsewhere? Our revision experts can evaluate your prior procedure and recommend options such as converting a sleeve to a mini gastric bypass or correcting an enlarged pouch.

  • Specialized in complex revision cases
  • Ideal for stretched sleeves or failed bands
  • Case-by-case planning with detailed review

Explore the Mini Gastric Bypass

The mini gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that combines restriction and malabsorption techniques, transforming your eating habits and how your body processes food. It shares many similarities with the traditional gastric bypass surgery, but with a significant difference – it involves just one reconnection of the digestive system, making it a more streamlined process.

This procedure is a great option for a wide range of patients with a BMI falling between 35 and 60. By considering the mini gastric bypass, you’re taking a crucial step toward achieving your weight loss goals and improving your overall health.

Why do patients choose bariatric surgery in Mexico?

Explore the significant benefits of medical care abroad:

  1. Bariatric surgery in Mexico is chosen by patients seeking lower costs, shorter wait times, and access to experienced bariatric teams without compromising medical standards. Many facilities operate in modern hospitals that meet or exceed U.S. and Canadian healthcare requirements. For example, bariatric surgery centers in Tijuana, Baja California, are located close to the U.S. border—often within minutes of San Diego—making travel simple and recovery timelines shorter. Patients typically complete surgery and return home within 5–7 days.

  2. Compared to U.S. prices of $17,000–$30,000 and Canadian wait times of up to several years, Mexico offers transparent, all-inclusive pricing, on-site diagnostics, and coordinated care. Multidisciplinary medical teams provide pre-operative evaluation, surgery, and post-operative guidance to support safe recovery and long-term weight-loss outcomes.

Dr. Verboonen performed my gastric sleeve surgery one year ago. I flew from Texas alone and was naturally nervous but once I arrived in Tijuana, Mexico he and his staff took great care of me. He’s an amazing surgeon and I wouldn’t change a thing! I’ve presently lost 166 lbs and counting. Thank you Dr. Sergio Verboonen for changing my life!!!

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering surgery abroad is a big decision. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get from patients in the U.S. and Canada.

Is bariatric surgery in Mexico safe?
Safety depends on the surgeon, hospital and protocols. We only work with certified bariatric surgeons operating in dedicated hospitals with full medical teams, ICU, advanced equipment and strict sterilization standards. Many of our patients feel the care is as good as — or better than — what they experienced back home.
What’s included in the all-inclusive package?
Packages typically include surgeon and hospital fees, anesthesiologist, operating room costs, pre-op lab work, post-op medications, 1–2 nights in the hospital, hotel for you and your companion (where applicable), round-trip ground transportation from the airport, and a dedicated coordinator. Your quote will outline exactly what’s included.
How soon can I schedule surgery?
Once your medical questionnaire is reviewed and you’re approved, many patients can secure a surgery date within 2–4 weeks, depending on the surgeon’s calendar and destination. Your coordinator will work with your ideal timeframe and travel schedule.
Do you work with patients who have high BMI or prior surgeries?
Yes. Our team regularly treats patients with higher BMI ranges and those who previously had a band, balloon or sleeve done elsewhere. Revision and high-BMI cases are evaluated individually to recommend the safest procedure and hospital setting.
What support do I receive after I go back home?
You’ll receive detailed postoperative instructions, access to your patient coordinator, and guidance on nutrition, vitamins and lifestyle changes. Our goal is to stay connected with you during your weight loss journey, not just during your hospital stay.
