Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

Here are a few of our former Canadian patients sharing their fantastic weight loss surgery transformation with Mexico Bariatric Center. During your initial research to find a trusted weight loss surgeon in Mexico, you need to look at the center’s gastric sleeve surgery before and after photos.

Mexico Bariatric Center is a healthcare facilitator in Mexico providing patients from Canada and the United States with affordable weight loss surgery. These patient testimonials include patients from Canada with gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass surgery.

Transforming Your Life with Gastric Sleeve

Sleeve gastrectomy, otherwise known as the gastric sleeve is a restrictive weight loss procedure. Gastric sleeve is performed by removing as much as 85% of a patient’s stomach, leaving 3.5 to 4 oz. stomach capacity behind. Many surgeons prefer gastric sleeve to gastric banding and gastric bypass for a few simple reasons.

Why is Gastric Sleeve Surgery Popular?

  • Low complication rates similar to gastric bypass. While a recent study reports 33% of gastric banding patients will revise their surgery.
  • High Expected Weight Loss, similar to Gastric Bypass.

“Hi Mexico Bariatric Center,

I just wanted to let you know that everything went really well with the surgery. It was so much easier than I expected, and it was a great experience. Dr. Diaz is the best. He was so attentive and explained everything before, during, and after. I did not see anyone else’s doctor come to check on them nearly as much as Dr. Diaz checked on his patients. Awesome!

All went really smoothly and I am feeling great. Thanks for all your help!”

Tracy, from Nova Scotia, Canada, faced an overwhelming reality, weight loss surgery wait times in her province exceed 10 years. Determined to take control of her health without the long delay, she chose Mexico Bariatric Center (MBC) in Tijuana for an affordable and timely solution.

She speaks highly of the private hospital and skilled surgeons in Tijuana, emphasizing the exceptional care she received. Having undergone gastric sleeve surgery at MBC, Tracy is thrilled with her long-term results and strongly recommends the facility for its professional staff and efficient process. One of the biggest factors in her decision? Time. “In Canada, I would have waited three years just for a consultation. With MBC, I booked my surgery in just three weeks and I feel amazing.”

She also notes the importance of following the post-op diet, which includes broth and liquid juices in the initial stages. For Tracy, choosing MBC wasn’t just about affordability, it was about reclaiming her life without the wait.
