About Mexico Bariatric Center

Our world-class surgery center is just minutes from the San Diego border entrance in beautiful Baja, California Tijuana, Mexico. MBC also has its main headquarters in Folsom, Greater Sacramento, California, where our patient coordinators and support staff are available around the clock to help you.

Why We Care
In recent years, obesity has become a growing concern as the obesity-related death toll has surpassed 2,800,000. Based on reports released by the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, older than 18 years old, were overweight with over 650 million were obese.
Obesity increases the risk of developing life-threatening conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease by 70% and an increased risk of breast and colon cancer by 42%. It also makes you more susceptible to the Coronavirus and greatly increases the risk of death from the virus.
Our Mission
Going to Mexico to get life-changing weight loss surgery can cause you to feel anxious and nervous. That is one of the primary reasons the Mexican Bariatric Center started. We want to take your worry away. Mexico Bariatric Centre offers full-service trips while being with you from start to finish. MBC has been a part of the medical tourism industry for over 10 years and is the trusted provider of weight loss surgery in Mexico.
We aim to educate and facilitate patients traveling to Tijuana to undergo bariatric and plastic surgery as safely as possible. We don’t pretend to understand what it’s like being clinically obese; our staff and surgeon had weight loss surgery in Mexico themselves.
Why We’re Different
MBC has helped thousands of patients undergo life-changing weight loss surgery to renew their lives and fight obesity and comorbidities. Mexico Bariatric Center® is a well-known brand name with a powerful presence in the world of bariatrics. Since coming into the tourism industry in 2012, Mexico Bariatric Center has helped legitimize standards of care through establishing a major hub for destination surgery in Mexico.
Mexico Bariatric Center’s all-inclusive medical packages are comparable to A Lighter Me®, Endobariatrics® as well as Pompeii Surgical. We take it a step further by offering every single patient a VIP experience that focuses on patient care, surgical expertise, and safety standards that outshine most Mexico providers. MBC is devoted to always performing the most reliable, effective, and affordably-priced weight loss procedures at the most affordable prices in Tijuana & Guadalajara.
By never cutting corners, offering personalized care, and providing a life-changing experience, we have helped over 20,000 people from the United States, Canada, and across the globe who can not afford weight loss surgery elsewhere overcome obesity.
