As the Editor of Mexico Bariatric Center, my passion is to share the amazing success of weight loss surgery with the entire world. I also enjoy guiding patients along their journey to overcoming obesity. There are many affordable options, some of which have similar equal quality standards as the United States. That is what we have built here at Mexico Bariatric Center. While working in the medical tourism industry for over a decade, I have had the privilege to participate in the evolution of patient care, safety standards, and quality bariatric surgery in countries like Mexico.
