FAQ

Is it safe to get weight loss surgery in Mexico?

While concerns about safety might arise, many reputable clinics in Mexico  offer high-quality procedures with experienced surgeons. It’s crucial to do thorough research and choose a clinic accredited by recognized organizations. We at BeLiteWeight have a record of offering the best quality medical facilities in our Mexico facility. We have been transporting patients back and forth to Mexico without incident since 2004. So, it is quite safe to travel to Mexico for weight loss surgery. 

Our surgeons keep you in the hospital for your entire stay. Any major complications would present themselves within the first 8 to 30 hours (we’ve never had any). Our surgeons refuse to compromise your care.

Keeping you in the hospital is done for your health and safety, due to the nature of the surgery. We also find that your guest is more comfortable and at ease being at the hospital complex with you while you recover. This also allows the doctor and hospital staff to be responsible for your care instead of your traveling companion.

You want to make sure your surgeon ONLY operates from a hospital that has been certified by the Mexican Government. The agency that certifies hospitals is the National Health Council (Consejo Nacional de Salud)

How much does weight loss surgery in Mexico cost compared to the US?

Weight loss surgery in Mexico is generally more affordable than in the US. However, costs can vary depending on the specific procedure, clinic, and surgeon. It’s essential to get detailed quotes from multiple providers. Weight loss surgery in Mexico can cost between $4,000 and $10,000 or more.

What are the risks and complications associated with weight loss surgery in Mexico?

The risks and complications associated with weight loss surgery are similar regardless of location. These include infection, bleeding, blood clots, and anesthesia-related issues. A reputable clinic will take measures to minimize these risks. The expert surgeon Dr. Jose Rodriguez Villarreal  @BeLiteWeight can offer surgery with a risk factor as low as 5%.

How long is the recovery time after weight loss surgery in Mexico?

Recovery time can vary depending on the procedure and individual factors. Most patients can expect to stay in Mexico for a few days to a week for initial recovery. They will then need to follow a recovery plan at home, which may involve restrictions on activities and diet.

Are the facilities in Mexico comparable to those in the US?
