Why Choose an All-Inclusive Gastric Sleeve or Bypass in Mexico?
There are several reasons why Mexico is a top choice for weight loss surgery, and an all-inclusive package only adds to its appeal.
Affordable Prices
The cost of bariatric surgery in Mexico is significantly lower than in countries like the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. This is due to a combination of factors, including lower overhead costs, favorable exchange rates, and government subsidies for medical tourism. For example, the average cost of gastric sleeve surgery in the United States can range from $22,000 to $30,000 (rates in 2026). The same procedure can be performed in Mexico for a fraction of that cost – often from $4,600.
Expertise and Experience
Mexico is home to some of the world’s most experienced and highly qualified bariatric surgeons. Many have received their medical education and training from top institutions in countries like the United States, Canada, or Europe.
Since the mid to late 2000s, Mexico has a long history of performing weight loss surgery. This experience and bariatric programs translates into better patient outcomes, hospitals designed for medical tourism, and affordable bariatric packages.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Hospitals and clinics in Mexico that cater to medical tourists often have state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. They are also held to high cleanliness, safety, and quality control standards.
Patients can expect the same level of care they would receive in their home country but at a fraction of the cost.
Comparing Bariatric Surgery Options in 2026
Two of Mexico’s most commonly performed weight loss surgeries are gastric sleeve surgery (VSG), gastric bypass surgery. Both procedures have shown effectiveness in helping individuals lose weight and improve their health.
Gastric Sleeve
The gastric sleeve surgery is the most popular weight loss surgery today.
Gastric sleeve surgery is ideal for individuals looking for a permanent solution to obesity, especially those tired of taking GLP-1 medicines. Gastric sleeve surgery is best ideal for BMIs ranging between 30-60. Gastric Sleeve surgery is done laparoscopically, typically within 1 hour.
Gastric Bypass
The gastric bypass surgery, both the mini-gastric bypass procedure and the roux-en-y gastric bypass procedure, is a more involved procedure that offers higher expected weight loss.
Gastric bypass surgery is recommended for individuals with a BMI over 40, typically the ideal BMI range of 35-65. You’ll need to contact us to learn more about your eligibility.
