Benefits of Having Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico By Gerald Witt on July 18, 2020

Generally, people who have been struggling with obesity problems for their whole life, typically dream about rapidly losing weight and changing their body type which then would provide them an opportunity that would let them live a healthy life far away from their eating habits and low self-esteem.  Choosing to have weight loss surgery in Mexico can help these people achieve this goal, but many people do not know this option exists or that is safer and a more viable option sometimes than having surgery in the USA or Canada.

However, many times when the future weight loss surgery patient starts looking into surgery options and begins to research Weight Loss Surgeries, most of the time, they find themselves getting due to the high prices of the surgery in the USA or the wait time they must endure if they live in Canada. Even if they have insurance, the procedure they want may or may not be covered and sometimes the cost of the deductible is higher than the full surgery cost in Mexico. As such, thankfully with the internet, people start to explore the great and viable alternative of having their weight loss surgery in Mexico.

To date, Mexico performs more weight-loss surgeries as a country than the USA and Canada combined.  Doctors in Mexico have been performing weight loss surgeries such as the gastric sleeve for many more years than their counterparts in the USA and Canada.  And it is a fact that Mexican doctors have more experience when it comes to weight loss surgeries than most doctors in the USA and or Canada due in fact to the simple number of surgeries performed each year.

Weight Loss Surgery is the best method for treating obesity and its comorbidities if the patient has a body mass index (BMI) over 30. There are different types of bariatric surgery. All of these weight loss surgeries affect the patients metabolic and digestive systems. As such, before proceeding, it is important to understand how the operations work, and what to expect.


Having Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico offers American and Canadian patients’ lots of benefits:

  • Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico has been increasing in popularity over the years
  • If you are going to choose a place in Mexico for your Weight Loss Surgery, consider Puerto Vallarta as it is the ideal place for surgery due to its location, ease of multiple nonstop and direct flights from the US and Canada. Also Puerto Vallarta is safe, not a border town city and is one of the founding cities for Medical Tourism.  Also there is usually not a language barrier due to the amount of tourist that visit the city most people understand and can speak some English so, the patient feels better, safer and more comfortable with their surgery experience
  • The average cost of Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico is about 70% lower than that of in the US; even after adding the travel expenses, most people end up saving between 40 to 60 percent with the low cost of Weight Lost Surgery in Mexico.
