the Danger of travel to mexico for weight loss surgery ⚠️

Is It Safe to Travel to Mexico for Weight Loss Surgery? ⚠️

Many clinics in Mexico may not meet the same stringent health and safety standards as those in the U.S., with some procedures performed by unlicensed or minimally trained staff.

Lower costs draw patients to Mexico, but these savings often come with trade-offs, including reduced quality of care, limited access to certified surgeons, and lack of follow-up.
Post-surgical complications can be more difficult to manage from afar, with limited options for follow-up care. Distance and varying regulations also reduce recourse if issues occur.

The Patient Process in the USA 🇺🇸

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Florida

Day 1

Pre-Operative Evaluation & Nutrition Support

  • Arrive at the Clinic for Pre-Op Testing
Prior to your surgery day, you’ll come to Balto Bariatric for pre-op testing. This includes blood work, an EKG, and a physical assessment to ensure you are ready for the procedure.
  • Nutritional Support
You’ll meet with a registered dietitian to go over pre- and post-surgery nutrition. Once this is done you will go to check into your hotel room.

Day 2

Surgery

  • Arrival and Check-In at the Hospital
On the day of your surgery, our driver will pick you up from the hotel and take you to our clinic to check in. Our team will prepare you for the procedure, and you’ll meet with your surgeon to address any last-minute questions.
  • Surgery
The gastric sleeve surgery typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. We use minimally invasive techniques for quicker recovery. After surgery, you’ll be monitored closely in recovery to ensure your comfort and safety.

Day 3

Recovery

  • Hospital Stay
You will stay overnight in the hospital under observation. Our medical team will assist you with light movement and hydration, both of which are important for a smooth recovery.
  • Post-Op Testing
Before discharge, you will undergo post-op testing to ensure there are no complications and that your recovery is on track.

Day 4

Discharge and Aftercare

  • Discharge from Clinic
Once cleared by the surgeon, you’ll be discharged with detailed aftercare instructions to follow at home. These will cover pain management, incision care, and dietary guidance for the recovery period.
  • Follow-Up Appointments
After surgery, you will undergo regular follow-ups to monitor your progress. Balto Bariatric also offers virtual consultations and ongoing support to ensure a successful recovery and weight loss journey if you are unavailable to come into the office.

The full patient process is faster in the USA 🇺🇸 than in Mexico—quick and efficient. You’re in and out! Post-op care is easily accessible when done in the United States, with no limits to just telehealth. Get in-person follow-up care anytime you need it.
