Is Obesity Surgery for You?
Weight loss surgery (also known as obesity, bariatric or gastric surgery) isn’t for everyone…but if you are a candidate, the results can be dramatic….even life-changing. Typically, to qualify for obesity surgery you must be be overweight by 100 pounds (man) or 80 pounds (woman) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40+.
Alternatively, weight loss surgery may be appropriate if you are 80 pounds overweight (BMI 35+) and have a serious obesity-related condition like type 2 diabetes or life-threatening cardio-pulmonary problems such as severe sleep apnea or obesity-related heart disease.
The decision to undergo weight loss surgery may be the most important and life-changing decision you ever make. Our goal at Health Travel Guides is to provide you with all of the information you need to make the best decision for you and your health. Read our Choosing the Right Weight Loss Surgery piece and our brochure on the weight loss surgery program at featured provider Hospital Angeles Tijuana.
It is a sad fact of the U.S. health care system that there are often significant financial barriers to receiving weight loss surgery. Costs can range between $17,000 and $70,000 depending on the experience of the surgeon, with the average cost between $20,000 - $35,000. Some insurance companies will cover part of this cost; many, however, do not.

Pam Thompson had obesity surgery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
I had the gastric sleeve procedure and I could not be happier with the results of my surgery. My only regret? That I waited so long to do it! It has been a little over a year and I am happily down a little over 100 lbs and have reached my goal weight.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions, concerns that you might have. I totally understand that this is a life-changing decision and not to be taken lightly and comes with many, many questions. Read Pam’s story here, or request a quote.
