17 Reasons Why Patients Choose Mexico Bariatric Center
1. Personalized Patient Care
Finding a bariatric facility can be difficult but planning everything by yourself can be equally challenging. That is why we assign each patient their own Patient Coordinator to be by your side throughout the entire process. Your coordinator is there to help you schedule your procedure, set up your travel itinerary, or answer any questions you may have. Our personalized support creates a real relationship that most of our competitors don’t offer.
2. Board-Certified Bariatric Surgeons
MBC only collaborates with the best bariatric surgeons in all of Mexico. Out of only nine double board-certified surgeons in Tijuana, Mexico Bariatric Center has three of them working exclusively on our team. While almost all of them have undergone training in the United States, every surgeon on our team has consistently lower complication rates than in the United States.
3. Daily Surgery Limit
Overworking any surgeon can result in avoidable complications and life-threatening risks. At MBC, we limit our surgeons to no more than 4 surgeries per day to uphold the highest standards of patient care and safety. Nearly all of our competitors, or any facility in general, do not place surgery limitations on their surgeons, which usually leads to higher complication rates. This is one of the many reasons we have maintained such a high success rate.
4. All Types of Weight Loss Procedures Included
We never put profit over your life and safety. That is why your desired surgeon always performs the entire surgery themselves, instead of handing it over to a less experienced assistant, intern, or surgeon in training like many other providers. Every surgeon on our team has extensive experience, having performed thousands of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic procedures – Gastric Sleeve, Endo Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch, Gastric Balloon, and Revision of Failed Surgeries.
5. Certified Hospital with ICU
Mexico Bariatric Center works exclusively with top-tier hospital facilities in Tijuana, Mexico, rather than small insufficient clinics like other providers. Our full-service hospital, Hospital Mi Doctor, is equipped to handle every kind of bariatric procedure, accommodate all types of patients, and address emergencies, complete with an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). All of our procedures are conducted in state-of-the-art operating rooms using advanced medical-grade equipment.
6. Easy 1-2-3 Scheduling for Surgery
Avoid the long wait times in the United States and Canada by contacting MBC today. You can quickly get approved and scheduled for surgery within the week!
7. Free Monthly Support Webinars

Dr. Elli has collaborated with medical facilities across Puerta Vallarta, Guadalajara, Cabo, Monterrey, and Cancun, Mexico as well as San Jose, Costa Rica to perfect the patient process and experience at MBC.
12. Low Complication Risks
Each surgeon at MBC has maintained exceptionally low complication rates which have stayed 80% lower than the national standard in the United States. Safety and efficiency are a top priority for each MBC surgeon, but they also excel in providing warm and empathetic care to their patients. Should you need help or have any concerns during your stay in Mexico, our surgeons are readily available. Our surgeons will also share recommendations and advice before and during your trip to make sure that your procedure best matches your needs.
13. Highly Reviewed and Recommended by Patients
Patient satisfaction has always been the cornerstone of Mexico Bariatric Center’s success. MBC always strives to provide the best quality care to all of our patients from the moment they contact us to years after their procedure. That is why over 97% of Our Patients Would Recommend Us To Their Friends and we have earned so many stellar reviews on Google and Facebook. Several former patients have also joined the MBC staff to share their inspirational stories and help coordinate new patients.
14. Impressive Surgery Results and Patient Satisfaction
While weight loss results vary based on the patient’s surgery and dedication to their post-op instructions, our surgeons ensure that patients get the most of their MBC experience by tailoring the procedure to their health history and weight loss goals. This approach has proven very effective as our gastric sleeve patients typically shed an impressive 22.5 lbs within the first month after surgery and a noticeable 41.53 lbs after 3 months.
15. Life-Long Care and Support
Getting the right support is crucial both before and after any bariatric procedure. As a part of our comprehensive pre- and post-operative nutrition program, you contact our dedicated surgeon liaison, certified nutritionist, and members of our staff who have had surgery themselves. You also have the option to join our private Facebook group of current and former patients who share valuable and personalized advice. MBC also produces a podcast hosted by 2 past patients who discuss different aspects of bariatric surgery and answer questions during the show.
