Benefits of Medical Tourism to Tijuana, Mexico By Gaston Tessada on November 28, 2022

Passport and stethoscopeOasis of Hope Bariatrics is a state-of-the-art facility in Tijuana, Mexico, that offers a wide range of bariatric techniques that promote weight loss so patients can take control of their health. The surgeons at Oasis of Hope Bariatrics have worked with patients from the United States and Canada. The practice has a proven record of success, but many people have questions about traveling to another country for surgery.

Medical tourism is a quickly growing field because of the many advantages it offers. Here, we go over some of the greatest benefits of medical tourism to Tijuana, Mexico, to give individuals a better understanding of why so many people are choosing to travel out of the country for bariatric surgery.

Affordability

Affordability of care is one of the greatest benefits of medical tourism. Obesity is a struggle that can put a strain on a person’s physical and emotional well being. While many would love to undergo bariatric surgery to address this problem, it is not typically an affordable option in the United States. Fortunately, prices for bariatric treatment are significantly lower in Mexico. Exact costs vary based on whether a person is undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, or revision weight loss surgery, but package prices start around $4,500. Because prices are so much lower in Tijuana, most find that they can fit treatment within their budget.

All-Inclusive Treatment

Not only is the price of bariatric surgery much lower in Mexico, but it is also all-inclusive. When people undergo bariatric surgery in the United States, the price they are quoted is often only for the surgery itself, so many are surprised by unexpected fees and expenses. At Oasis of Hope Bariatrics, our all-inclusive treatment includes every aspect of care and recovery, including:

  • Transportation to and from the airport
  • Pre- and post-operative testing
  • Surgeon and physician fees
  • A four-day, three-night stay at our facilities
  • Prescription medication
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Up to five years of follow-up support
  • Accommodations for a travel companion (minus meal expenses)

Safety and Security

When people have hesitations about medical tourism, their greatest concerns are often safety and security. We can assure patients that they will receive the highest quality care at Oasis of Hope Bariatrics. Our facility follows the same health and safety regulations at hospitals within the United States. Our facility is also located on a gated campus with two controlled checkpoints and 24 hours of security monitoring.

Discreet Recovery

The benefits of medical tourism to Tijuana do not stop when surgery is complete. Bariatric surgery packages typically include a stay of four days and three nights at our facility. During this time, patients stay in a private room that allows for a discreet recovery. The surrounding setting of Playas de Tijuana helps patients relax and makes it feel as though they are on vacation while recovering from their procedure.
