From certified doctors, quality healthcare, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable surgical procedures, Mexico remains the top choice for thousands of people seeking surgical medical procedures each year. Bariatric surgery in Mexico may be the right choice for many people for a variety of reasons. Here are six things to keep in mind when searching for information on medical tourism in Mexico for bariatric procedures.
However, you are probably wondering why choose bariatric surgeries in Mexico instead of other places. So let’s talk about what makes it such an attractive destination for medical travel specifically.
Qualified surgeons
Mexico has created something of a niche for medical weight loss tourism. Many surgeons certified by the most important American medical associations choose to work in Mexico, which gives you a great opportunity to access affordable and specialized medical care. Mexico attracts some of the brightest minds in the field of bariatric surgery.
Security
It is really safe to travel to Tijuana to perform your bariatric surgery. However, you should travel with a trusted company that takes care of transportation, accommodation, and can personally assist you during your trip. Companies like TreVita have done extensive research to select the best surgeons in Tijuana, providing private transportation, taking you to your destination safely.
Violence has decreased in Mexico over the years. This is especially true in tourist destinations like Tijuana. There is a large police presence and infrastructure that protects you. After all, you’re spending your hard-earned money, which is why these areas tend to thrive in the first place.
Efectivity cost
The cost of weight loss surgeries in Mexico has a greater benefit. On average, a U.S. client can save up to two-thirds of the cost of their bariatric surgery by having the procedure done in Mexico, compared to several thousand dollars they would spend in the United States or Canada.
This is one of the main reasons to choose Mexico as your medical tourism destination.
Accredited facilities
High-quality weight loss centers in Mexico must meet U.S. standards, but it’s not always easy to know who to trust and which facilities meet these standards. An organization that accredits medical tourism providers is the Medical Tourism Association , TreVita is certified by the MTA and verifies all of our collaborating doctors through a rigorous and comprehensive process. You can rest assured that you will receive the best care with state-of-the-art technology and facilities when you work directly with a reputable provider like TreVita.
Natural beauty
Mexico is an impressive country. From sandy beaches to sunny views and sparkling mountains, it has it all. When you undergo weight loss surgery, you should consider recovery as part of the process.
Maintaining the right mindset is essential for healing and peace of mind. Many clients often take extra days to enjoy a mini vacation during recovery. Although this is not necessary, some will opt for this option to give themselves a little extra pampering while undergoing their surgeries in Mexico.
Ease of access
It’s so easy to take a flight or cross the border to Mexico for medical treatment. There is no reason to complicate things more than necessary.

Unlike waiting weeks, if not months, to see a doctor or for a referral to be approved, companies like TreVita have databases of certified doctors and can put you in the front line right away. You can consult with a doctor virtually and together they will review your medical history and determine the best surgical procedure for you.
