The concept of medical tourism in Mexico has captured the interest of both American and Canadian citizens, primarily because of its close proximity to the United States and the relatively affordable travel expenses associated with it.
Are you seeking affordable bariatric surgery options to help you achieve your weight loss goals? Be Slim Bariatrics provides high-quality bariatric procedures in Tijuana, Mexico at a fraction of the cost compared to the US.
Choosing the Right Medical Tourism Provider for Bariatric Surgery in Mexico
The allure of medical tourism, particularly for bariatric surgery in Mexico, has grown exponentially. As the quest for effective weight loss solutions intensifies and with Mexico’s health standards on the rise, it’s becoming a top choice for many. However, the pivotal step is selecting the right medical tourism provider. Drawing insights from both Patients Beyond Borders and Medical Tourism Association, here’s a unified guide to assist you:
Global Accreditation and Recognition
- Is the provider a United States Corporation?
- The facility should be endorsed by internationally acclaimed accreditation bodies, such as IFSO, ASMBS, MTA, or BBB.
- They must have an untarnished reputation, devoid of any legal disputes.
- Their website should be accessible in English, with comprehensive contact details.
Medical Qualifications
In-depth Surgeon Research
- Ensure the surgeon is a board-certified bariatric surgeon and their certificate is on the website.
- Find out the complication rate and fatality rate of your assigned bariatric surgeon. With limiting the amount of surgeries per day per surgeon, the complication rate should be less than 2%.
- Find out your bariatric surgeon’s success rate. The success rate is quantified by the percentage of patients that lost at least 50% of their excess weight and kept it off. The standard success rate for bariatric surgery is 90%.
- The advertised surgeon should personally perform the surgery.
Package and Pricing Transparency
- The bariatric packages should encompass essentials like hotel accommodations, surgical charges, hospital accommodation, pre and post-operative tests, medications, and transportation minimum.
- Be wary of prices that appear overly attractive, low prices usually mean low support.
- Hidden fees should be non-existent.
Dedicated Patient Support
- Prioritize centers that offer dedicated patient coordinators to guide you seamlessly through the process. Also, ensure if your assigned patient coordinator is not available that you have access to support regardless of their schedule.
- A reliable provider's hallmark is their promptness. Expect a response within one business day, underscoring their dedication to patient care.
Hospital Over Clinic
Conduct Personal Research
Be vigilant against imposter websites or counterfeit medical tourism entities.
- Review testimonials, reviews, before and after photos and genuine success stories.
- Check to see if you can talk to past patients or join a support group with their patients.
- Their online presence should be robust, showcasing positive reviews and authentic before/after images.
- Remember to check if the provider is accredited with the IFSO, ASMBS, MTA, or BBB, and more

Am I a Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery?
The latest ASMBS Guidelines on Indications for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery – 2022 have ushered in a significant shift in the BMI requirements for weight-loss surgery. Under these updated guidelines, individuals with a BMI of 35 or higher are now recommended for surgery, regardless of the presence or absence of obesity-related conditions.
Those with a BMI falling in the range of 30 to 34.9 are also eligible if they have metabolic diseases, and selected adolescents can be considered for surgery.
