Gastric Bypass
Consider Medical Tourism for Your Weight Loss Surgery
Patients in the United States and Canada have access to affordable bariatric procedures with us in Puerto Vallarta. Whether you're considering gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, or another weight loss surgery, you can benefit from prices as low as $6,000.
What Is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y surgery, is a bariatric procedure in which a small pouch is made from your stomach. Your stomach pouch is then connected to a lower section of your small intestine. After gastric bypass surgery, the food you eat goes into your stomach pouch and then directly into your small intestine, bypassing much of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.
This weight loss surgery helps patients feel fuller with less food and for longer periods. Because it also decreases the amount of calories your body can absorb, it leads to fast weight loss.
Gastric bypass surgery can also help treat or manage weight-related medical conditions like:
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Hypertension

"Dr. Sergio and his team did a fantastic job on my gastric bypass surgery! They were caring and responsive to my comfort and needs... The entire package, Hotel, Hospital, Surgery, and Post Op care was supreme... After a day in the hospital, I stayed two days (as part of the package) in the Hotel right on the Plaza Neptune and walked every day around the marina boardwalk among the yachts and other wonderful sites. There was really no pain to speak of... I feel like I have my life back. I would suggest this surgery to anyone feeling the stranglehold of weight comorbidities and pre-diabetes... FIVE STARS all the way!" Brian

Paying for Your Bariatric Procedure
Although your medical insurance will not apply in Mexico, many patients choose to undergo surgery in Puerto Vallarta because it's much more affordable than in the U.S. and Canada, even with insurance. Bariatrics Health Mexico uses state-of-the-art equipment and has highly trained surgeons, so you don't sacrifice quality when you choose us.
Gastric Bypass Candidates
Our Puerto Vallarta surgeons will only operate on patients if it's safe and they meet certain criteria. You're a good candidate for gastric bypass surgery if you:
Are in Good Health
Aside from your weight, you must be healthy enough to undergo surgery safely. Be sure to discuss any conditions during your bariatric surgery consultation.
Have Tried Other Weight Loss Methods
If you've tried conservative treatment methods like diets and exercise with no success, you may be a good candidate for bariatric surgery.
Have a High BMI
Gastric bypass surgery is recommended for people with a BMI of over 35 who have associated comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc.) or a BMI of over 40 with or without associated obesity comorbidities.

Gastric bypass is performed laparoscopically for a safer procedure, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
The Results of Gastric Bypass and How You Can Help
Though many patients experience losing 80% of their excess weight over a two-year period, the final results of your weight loss will depend heavily on the changes you make in your eating behaviors and exercise habits, as well as medical and nutritionist follow-up. You can make the most of your gastric bypass surgery by:
Eating Healthy
Because your stomach pouch will be smaller, you will have to eat a diet of nutrient-dense foods once you are cleared by your doctor. We recommend protein, fruits, and vegetables in six small portions each day. You will also have to supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals.
Exercising Regularly
Starting a few days after your surgery, walking for short periods every day can help reduce the chances of developing blood clots. Once you've healed from your surgery, we encourage you to gradually take up low-intensity workouts to aid in your weight loss.
Taking Advantage of Our Services
With our bariatric procedure packages, we offer a special liquid diet before and after surgery, nutritionist consultations, and follow-up appointments with a surgeon. These services can help put you on the path to success in your weight loss journey.
