Every weight loss journey is unique. Our board-certified surgeons will help you determine which procedure is your best match during your consultation. Here's a friendly introduction:
Picture your stomach being reshaped into a small 'sleeve' about the size of a banana. This procedure removes about 80% of your stomach, leaving you feeling fuller faster and reducing hunger hormones. It's like turning down the volume on those constant food cravings.
Learn MoreThink of gastric bypass as the seasoned veteran. It creates a tiny stomach pouch and reroutes your digestive system, giving both restriction (eating less) and malabsorption (absorbing fewer calories). Particularly awesome for type 2 diabetes.
Learn MoreLooking for something between the sleeve and traditional bypass? The mini gastric bypass might be your sweet spot. It's less complex than traditional bypass but often delivers similar weight loss results.
Learn MoreFor those with higher BMIs or specific health concerns, the duodenal switch offers the most dramatic weight loss results. It's more complex but can be life-changing for the right candidate.
Learn MoreHad a previous weight loss surgery that didn't deliver? Don't lose heart. Our specialists excel in revision procedures that can help get your weight loss back on track.

Why Mexico? 5 Reasons That Might Surprise You
Let's address the elephant in the room – why travel to Mexico for bariatric surgery? Our patients consistently share these compelling reasons:
The numbers speak for themselves. The exact same procedures, performed by equally qualified surgeons, cost 60-70% less in Mexico. We're talking about savings of $15,000-$20,000 in many cases!
I was quoted $24,000 for gastric sleeve in Chicago... In Mexico, my all-inclusive package was $4,800. Same procedure, same recovery time, fraction of the cost – and my results have been amazing. - James, Illinois
Mexico's top bariatric surgeons are internationally trained, board-certified specialists. Many have completed fellowships at prestigious U.S. and European institutions. They often spend more time with each patient, creating personalized care plans.
My surgeon in Mexico spent 45 minutes answering all my questions... My friend who had the same procedure in Toronto got maybe 10 minutes with her doctor. - Lisa, Canada
The hospitals and clinics we partner with feature state-of-the-art technology, pristine facilities, and many have international accreditations like Joint Commission International (JCI).
Tired of fighting with insurance companies or long waiting lists? In Mexico, you can schedule your procedure when YOU are ready – typically within weeks, not months or years.
Imagine recovering in a peaceful setting with attentive care. Many patients describe their recovery as surprisingly pleasant.
The nurses checked on me every hour, the hospital room was nicer than some hotels I've stayed in... I felt like a valued person, not just another patient. - Michael, Arizona

Real Stories, Real Transformations
Nothing speaks louder than the experiences of those who've walked this path before you.
At 42, I could barely play with my kids... After my sleeve surgery in Tijuana, everything changed. I'm off all my medications, and last month, I ran a 5K with my daughter. When she hugged me at the finish line and said, 'I'm so proud of you, Mom,' I knew every step of this journey was worth it.
As a 6'2" guy who topped the scales at 415 pounds, I'd resigned myself to dying young... After bypass surgery in Cancun, it was like someone gave me a second chance at life. My diabetes resolved within weeks! Two years later, I'm down 185 pounds and recently went skydiving.
My first sleeve surgery in the U.S. didn't work out... Dr. Rodriguez in Cancun performed my revision to a mini gastric bypass, and the difference was night and day. Her team identified issues from my first surgery... Now, 14 months post-revision, I'm down 95 pounds and still losing steadily. Don't give up!
