FAQ

Common Questions

Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?+
Most candidates have a BMI of 35+ with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, or a BMI of 40+ without conditions. The best way to confirm is through our free health questionnaire — our team will give you a personalised assessment.
What does the all-inclusive package include?+
Everything: surgeon fees, anaesthesiology, hospital stay, pre-op labs, airport transport, hotel accommodation during recovery, meals during your stay, and a dedicated English-speaking patient coordinator. One price, no surprises.
Is surgery in Tijuana safe?+
Yes. All procedures are performed in a fully accredited Tijuana hospital that meets international safety standards. Our surgeons are board-certified and internationally trained. We serve hundreds of US and Canadian patients annually with a 4.9★ patient satisfaction record.
Does insurance cover bariatric surgery in Mexico?+
Most US and Canadian insurance plans do not cover surgery performed outside their network or country. However, many patients find that the all-inclusive price in Mexico is lower than their US insurance deductible alone. Financing options are also available.
Can I get bariatric and plastic surgery together?+
In most cases, we recommend completing bariatric surgery first and stabilising your weight for 12–18 months before pursuing plastic surgery. This produces the safest and best aesthetic results. We can plan both as part of your long-term transformation journey from the very first consultation.
How do I get started?+
Fill out the contact form on this page or call us at (877) 665-8144. A patient coordinator will reach out within 24 hours to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and guide you through the next steps — completely free and with no obligation.
