Why Mexico

Why thousands choose Mexico for gastric sleeve surgery

Surgeons, hospitals and staff cost less to run in Mexico, so the same laparoscopic sleeve costs a fraction of U.S. self-pay prices. What matters is choosing the right surgeon and hospital, not just the lowest price.

From $4,899

One self-pay price with your hospital stay, hotel, transport and companion included.

No insurance hurdles

No prior authorization, no six-month diet requirement and no waiting on an insurer’s approval.

Weeks, not months

Applications can be approved in as fast as 24 hours. Most patients schedule within weeks.

Named surgeons

You know exactly who operates on you, with credentials and a license you can verify.

Safety

Is gastric sleeve in Mexico safe? How to choose well

A very low price can mean cuts in staff, materials or hospital quality. Judge any program on the surgeon and the hospital first.

Know the risks

Like any operation, the sleeve carries risks: bleeding, infection, blood clots, reactions to anesthesia and leaks from the staple line. Longer-term risks include reflux, hernias and nutritional deficiencies. Your surgeon reviews your history to decide whether the sleeve is right for you. Source: Mayo Clinic, sleeve gastrectomy.

FAQ

Gastric sleeve in Mexico: common questions

How much does gastric sleeve surgery cost in Mexico?

With Renew Bariatrics, the gastric sleeve is $4,899 USD. That covers surgeon and anesthesia fees, pre-op labs, 2 hospital nights in a private room, three leak tests, 1 hotel night, private transportation, 1 companion, take-home medications and nutrition aftercare. Airfare and passport costs are not included.

What can add to my price?

Hernia repair, gallbladder removal and a higher BMI can add to the price, and the single-incision sleeve is quoted separately. Your written quote lists every item before you book.

Who will perform my surgery?

You can request Dr. Héctor Pérez (Tijuana or Cancún) or Dr. Jorge Green (Tijuana). Both are bariatric and general surgeons with 5,000+ bariatric procedures each.

Which hospital will I have surgery at?

In Tijuana, surgery takes place at SER Hospital or Obesity Surgical Center. In Cancún, surgery takes place at Hospital Joya Cancún. Your coordinator confirms your hospital in writing when you book.

Is it safe to have gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico?

Safety depends on the surgeon and hospital, not the country. Check that your surgeon is board-certified, that the hospital is licensed and has emergency backup, and that reviews are real and linked to their source. Every surgeon and hospital on this site lists those details.

How long will I stay in Mexico?

Most sleeve patients stay 3 nights: 2 nights in a private hospital room and 1 night at the hotel.

Can I bring a companion?

Yes. One companion is included in your package, including transportation and hotel.

Do you accept insurance?

No. Surgery is self-pay. You can use HSA or FSA funds, major credit cards, or medical financing.

How fast can I have surgery?

Applications can be approved in as fast as 24 hours, and most patients schedule surgery within weeks, not months, depending on dates and medical clearance.

What happens if I have a problem after I get home?

You have access to Renew’s nutrition team and an on-call bilingual doctor after surgery. The package does not cover the cost of treating complications once you are back home, so ask your coordinator how follow-up works for your case.

What documents do I need for Tijuana?

A valid passport is recommended for re-entering the U.S. Your coordinator sends a full travel checklist when you book.
