Interested in gastric bypass but I need to know the cost of everything.

Are there any unforeseenable expenses?
Hi Zsaza,
There are some additional fees if you plan to bring a companion or want to have something repaired such as the gallbladder being removed. If the surgeon discovers a hiatal hernia during the surgery, it will have to be repaired for safety reasons which will be an added charge. You can find a list of any possible additional fees here: https://mexicobariatriccenter.com/faq-items/what-additional-fees-can-i-expect/
How / When do we pay for our companion?
The companion fee is added to the final balance which is due 15 days before the surgery date. Here are our payment options: https://mexicobariatriccenter.com/faq-items/what-payment-methods-are-accepted/
is there any testing done before the surgery?
Yes we do pre-op blood/lab works on your arrival date (one day prior to surgery)
What about surgery for minors?
Yes we do accept minors and typically we require them to have a Psychological Evaluation prior to scheduling surgery.
i already paid a $350 fee to secure my surgery date. can I just pay the day I arrive in Mexico?? surgery date is May 17th
If you pay with Cashier’s Check or bringing cash, we collect it once you arrive in Tijuana. We just ask that you send us proof of payment (picture) 14 days prior to adding it to your file. Otherwise if you pay using Zelle or online, we do require he payment 14 days prior.
Can I pay the balance in instalments – like 500 here and $1000 there or does it all have to be at once?
You can make payments on your balance as long as its all paid 15 days prior to the surgery date (or you send proof of payment to your patient coordinator 15 days prior to surgery)
So the short answer is Yes =)
Do you accept payment form a Health Savings Account debit card? Can you charge the card prior to scheduling the surgery to see if the HSA debit card company will process the payment?
What happens if the lab results show problems like diabetes or high blood pressure?
Yes we do accept Health Savings Account debit, you typically just need to ask them to release the funds. Of course, you can charge the card for your $350 deposit, or just make a test payment that would go towards your balance if successful. If it doesn’t go through then contact your Health Savings to release funds.
Regarding the lab results – most of our patients have obesity-related health issues like diabetes/high blood pressure. It would be extremely rare for you to be canceled for these reasons and weight loss surgery resolves these problems for most patients.
Can we bring 2 companions
Definitely, patients can bring as many companions as they want. Due to COVID, companions are not allowed to stay in the hospital. However, we currently do have hospital visiting hours so that companions can visit patients at the hospital. Transportation is included for these visits. https://mexicobariatriccenter.com/faq-items/can-i-bring-a-companion/?preview_id=50361&preview_nonce=c8a56ab0ad&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true
If there is a situation where we can’t pay the full amount by 14 days but 12-13 days, do we need to push the surgery back? Can we do that? Or will the procedure be canceled? For instance surgery date is 20th. I may not be able to pay full amount until the 7th or 8th.
12 or 13 days before surgery is still far enough out so we wouldn’t have to make any changes to your surgery date. As long as you are in communication with your coordinator and they are aware that your payment is going to be a bit late, then everything should be fine. :)
Is care credit accepted?
No, it’s not. Please check our payment options on our website to see which one best suits you! :)
