Mexico Bariatric Center® Bariatric Center

Since opening Mexico Bariatric Center® in 2012, we had one goal in mind: to have a safe and affordable place for patients to travel for high-quality weight loss surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. Medical tourism used to be a small industry with somewhat risky and even dangerous outcomes. We have revolutionized Mexican medical travel for bariatric and plastic surgical procedures.

As one of the only U.S.-based corporations accredited by the Better Business Bureau, MBC has evolved to be the first choice Tijuana-based bariatric center for patients to experience world-class surgical standards, precision surgical skill, and expertise, as well as 6 of the best bariatric surgeons in Mexico.

Exclusive Network of Surgeons

Our trusted network of bariatric surgeons has trained in both the United States and Mexico, and all are certified or double-board certified in laparoscopic weight loss and metabolic surgery. When you choose Mexico Bariatric Center®, you get the skills and expertise of our entire surgical team. That means you have six different surgical teams that all are able to help and offer their knowledge, in any event, to improve results and avoid complications.

We have pioneered procedures like the reinforced gastric sleeve surgery (VSG), single-incision gastric sleeve, and are the leading excellence center for duodenal switch surgery (BPD-DS).

All-Inclusive VIP Experience

Our newly-renovated hospital facility is just a 20-minute drive from the San Diego international airport, which we pick up and drop-off like clockwork. MBC uses a bariatric-specialized hospital fitted with high-quality equipment and an Intensive Care Unit to make each of our patients feel safe and like they are in their home-country the entire time. The doctors, nurses, and staff speak English and can accommodate almost any request during your stay.

We are a world-renowned bariatric center that offers the same price with a fully inclusive package that not even independent surgeons can match. Mexico Bariatric Center® has transformed over 13,000 patients' lives through all weight loss surgeries,

• Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
• RNY Gastric Bypass
• Mini Bypass
• Duodenal Switch Surgery (BPD-DS)
• Single Anastomosis Loop Duodenal Switch (SADI-s)
• Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND)
• Revision of Previous Unsuccessful Surgeries
• Reversal of Previous Failed Surgeries
