After Weight Loss Surgery: 

Congratulations on taking the next step toward a healthier life!  We understand that the decision to undergo weight loss surgery is not an easy one,  and that the surgery is just the first step in changing your life. 

Post-surgery you will need to manage physical and emotional issues associated with your procedure.  The information below is intended to ease your journey by providing information on follow-up care and community resources.


Gastric Band Fills

Patients of Hospital Angeles Tijuana receive the option of free fills for the first year following their surgery.  This means you will not be charged surgical or hospital fees. However, you will be charged a $100 fluoroscopy fee with each fill.  You will arrange your fill directly with the surgical team.  Additionally, keep in mind that transportation costs will be incurred - we will happily recommend a transportation/driving service.
