What “all-inclusive” should really include

Many centers in Mexico don’t include take-home medications, which you need after surgery. Before you compare prices, ask each center about these six things.

Included at Renew

Private room and bathroom

Some centers put you in a shared room or charge for a private suite. Every Renew package includes your own room and bathroom, with space for your companion.

Included at Renew

Take-home medications

Many centers don’t list take-home medications, which you need after surgery. Renew includes them.

Included at Renew

Leak test at the same hospital

After surgery, you need a fluoroscopy (leak test). Some centers transport you to another facility for it. Our hospitals have all the equipment to make your surgery a success, so your leak test is done on site.

Included at Renew

1 companion included

Some centers charge $195 or more to bring a companion. Your Renew package includes one companion, who stays with you in your private room.

Included at Renew

Private transportation

We pick you up in private Sprinter vans from San Diego airport, Tijuana airport or an approved San Diego hotel, and cross the border in the medical lane.

Included at Renew

Aftercare is included for every Renew procedure. Our nutritionists and medical team are available on demand after you get home.

Why competitors can’t match Renew

Premier hospitals, board-certified surgeons and no compromises

Renew Bariatrics has performed over 9,000 bariatric surgeries. Other centers may perform surgery at clinics. We don’t compromise, and our package is one other centers charge $1,000s more for.

Transparent price

Many centers claim lower prices, then make up the difference with hidden fees. Our all-inclusive packages include surgeon, hospital, medication and transportation fees.

Private patient room at SER Hospital in Tijuana

“I spoke to several different companies and Renew actually cared about me. The other companies just wanted me to pay and schedule my surgery and did not answer my questions. I had my surgery 6 months ago and have lost 88 pounds.”
Linda K. · Gastric sleeve · Facebook review
★★★★★
“I love that you receive the surgery the day you arrive and have 3 nights under their care (2 in hospital and 1 night in hotel) before you go back home. In my research, not all clinics offer that length of post operative care.”
Lyndi W. · Gastric sleeve · Google review

“I did a lot of research and then found Renew. I was pleasantly surprised that not only was their price amazing, I wasn’t “missing” anything in service. Any questions I had were answered promptly even today (I’m 16 months post op)!”
Shauna-Lee T. · Weight loss surgery · Facebook review
★★★★★
“I’m actually super scared of hospitals and doctors due to bad experiences back in the states. However, Renew Bariatrics made me realize that I can have a good experience at a hospital. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend do your research and ask as many questions as you need to.”
Lesley P. · Weight loss surgery · Google review

“I wanted this surgery for years but couldn’t afford it, it was 20,000 where I live. After endless nights of research I found Renew and knew it was the perfect place and perfect price. I’m 6 months out and hit my goal weight, down 85 lbs.”
Kaitlyn S. · Gastric sleeve · Facebook review
★★★★★
“I was able to have full contact through call, text and email with my coordinator and my nutritionist. My companion as well was treated so well. The transportation department was very kind and on time to pick us up from the airport!”
Whittnee H. · Gastric sleeve · Google review
★★★★★
“I had the sleeve done and I enjoyed the whole experience. They have been supportive and communicative the whole process, even now. I had no complications and feel great. It was overall the best experience I have ever had, especially in comparison to the states.”
Miriam S. · Gastric sleeve · Google review
★★★★★
“Totally recommend if your insurance won’t cover bariatric surgery in the US. The whole process was smooth and very organized. Hospital was clean. Hotel was clean.”
Rorielyn B. · Weight loss surgery · Google review
★★★★★
“I chose Renew to coordinate my VSG with Dr. Green on the recommendation of a co-worker. I am 2 weeks post-op and I am still getting regular check-ins from the staff to make sure I’m doing ok.”
Rachel W. · Gastric sleeve · Google review
★★★★★
“Contacting Renew Bariatrics was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Dr. Armenta has a wonderful bedside manner and is a great surgeon. My highest weight was 281, current weight is 188. This has been life changing for me and my family.”

Comparing bariatric centers in Mexico: FAQs

How does Renew Bariatrics compare to other bariatric centers in Mexico?

Renew’s gastric sleeve starts at $4,899 all-inclusive, with 2 hospital nights, 1 hotel night, a private room and bathroom, take-home medications, private Sprinter van transportation and 1 companion included. Renew is rated 4.9 from 850+ reviews across 4 platforms and has performed 9,000+ surgeries with double board-certified surgeons.

Which bariatric center in Mexico is the cheapest?

Advertised gastric sleeve prices in Mexico start between about $3,600 and $5,300. The lowest price isn’t always the lowest total cost, so ask each center for an itemized list of what’s included before you compare.

What do Mexico Bariatric Center reviews say?

Most Mexico Bariatric Center reviews on Google, Yelp and BBB are highly positive, praising weight loss results, staff and transport. Recurring concerns include delayed refunds after cancellations, recovery and pain management, and confusion about final costs such as companion lodging. It has a 3.43/5 rating on BBB.

What do Pompeii Surgical reviews say?

Most Pompeii Surgical reviews on Google are very positive, praising its staff, clean facilities and beach house recovery stay. Recurring concerns include slow follow-up for complications once home, scheduling and price-quote problems, and shared rooms.

Why are some bariatric centers in Mexico more expensive?

Other centers can charge more for the same service and care you could get with Renew Bariatrics. We focus on a premium, all-inclusive package for patients, which keeps costs low, and we pass the savings on to you.

What should be included in an all-inclusive bariatric package?

Look for surgeon and hospital fees, hospital and hotel nights, a private room and bathroom, take-home medications, pre-op testing, private transportation, a companion and aftercare. Ask whether your leak test (fluoroscopy) is done at the same hospital, or whether you’ll be transported to another facility.

Other bariatric companies have been in business longer than Renew Bariatrics?

It’s true other companies have been in business longer. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve helped thousands of patients. Our founding team had nearly a decade of experience in medical tourism for bariatrics, and our surgeons have over 50 years of combined experience.

My family or friends went with another bariatric surgeon?

We want you to feel comfortable with your decision, and we will never pressure you. If you are more comfortable with another company or surgeon, we encourage you to choose them.

What’s the catch?

There is no catch, which is why over 9,000 patients have chosen Renew Bariatrics. Renew was started with the belief that you should never have to compromise on safety or care, so we built a premium package at an affordable price.

Can I use HSA or FSA funds or financing?

Yes. Renew accepts HSA and FSA funds and offers financing, and you can get approved in as little as 24 hours.
