Medical Tourism
The cost of surgery is increasing in certain countries, and when it is not accompanied by superior results, many patients wonder what to do.
Medical tourism allows patients to travel to other countries where they can receive affordable care, experience short wait times, and more.
Bariatrics Health Mexico in Puerto Vallarta, Jal., welcomes worldwide patients who want to reap the benefits of medical tourism.
Not From Mexico? No Problem! Virtual Consultations Are Available
We want bariatric surgery and medical care to be a viable option for patients, no matter where they're from. If you're curious about surgery, you can complete a free virtual consultation from the comfort of your own home. You'll only have to come to Puerto Vallarta, Jal., for your procedure.
Medical Tourism Is Booming
According to Medical Tourism Mexico, 1.2 million Americans travel to Mexico for health care each year. This makes Mexico the world's second most popular destination for medical tourism, following Thailand. Since Thailand is an expensive plane ticket away, Mexico is often the first place Americans and Canadians turn to for affordable medical care.
While patients have turned to Mexico for affordable cosmetic surgery and elective procedures in the past, more people are choosing medical tourism to take advantage of low prices and the same quality of care for a variety of health care procedures. Now, Mexico caters to patients who desire affordable bariatric surgery, dental work, and more.

Patients from the United States and Canada are choosing Bariatrics Health Mexico for their health care due to the numerous benefits we provide, such as:

We use the latest developments in the field of bariatrics to provide patients with safe, effective surgeries. We even use the da Vinci® XI surgical system to improve precision and minimize complications.

Once you arrive in Puerto Vallarta, you won't have to worry about getting around or finding a place to stay—that will all be taken care of. We offer transportation to get you to and from the airport, hospital, and hotel.

Another Reason Patients Choose Us:
Our Highly Trained Surgeons
Dr. Sergio Del Hoyo and Dr. Christian Ramirez have performed thousands of bariatric surgeries and have 50 years of combined experience. They can perform safe surgeries that get you the results you desire without complications. They are also members of many prominent medical associations, like the:
- Mexican Association of General Surgery
- American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
- International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity
With Mexican, American, and international credentials, you can expect safe, quality care from our surgeons.
Understanding Insurance in Mexico
Like many practices in Mexico, we don't accept medical insurance from American or Canadian providers. However, you may still pay less for your procedure without insurance than you would in your home country with insurance. This results in many patients choosing Mexico for everything from cosmetic surgery to gastric sleeve surgery.
Surgery in a Stunning Destination Turn Your Medical Tourism Into a Vacation
Your stay in Puerto Vallarta doesn't have to be strictly business. In fact, many of our medical tourists schedule time to explore the area and experience all it has to offer. A prime location in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta has stunning beaches, beautiful weather, an appreciation for the arts, and breathtaking sunsets. Some of our medical tourists even spend some of their time recovering on the beach.
FAQ
Can I bring my family with me?
Yes. Many patients bring their families along with them during their medical travel so they can have a short vacation together in Puerto Vallarta.
How does the medical travel process work?
To book your surgery date, you must pay a 10% down payment. When you arrive in Mexico, the Bariatrics Health Mexico team will transport you to your hotel. The next day, you will complete all preliminary tests at the hospital. You can then undergo your bariatric procedure. Your total payment is due on the day of your surgery. You will spend one night recovering in the hospital where medical staff can monitor you but can spend the rest of your time in your hotel room or on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta with your family.
How do I prepare for medical tourism?
Medical tourism is similar to regular tourism, in that you'll need to do a few things before you can come to us in Mexico. We recommend getting/updating your passport, acquiring Mexican pesos, and properly completing a Multiple Migratory Form, which may be provided to you by the airline.
