Question 1

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss varies by procedure. Gastric sleeve patients typically lose 60-70% of excess weight, while bypass patients may lose 70-80%. Results depend on following the nutrition plan and lifestyle changes. Most significant loss occurs in the first 12-18 months.

Question 2

Is financing available for bariatric surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we partner with medical financing companies that offer payment plans. Many patients qualify for low monthly payments with flexible terms to fit your budget.

Question 3

Do I need to stay in Mexico for follow-up?

Accepted Answer

Most patients stay 5-7 days total for surgery and initial recovery. Long-term follow-up is done virtually with your surgical team. We can also coordinate with a local doctor for in-person check-ups if needed.

Question 4

What diet is required before surgery?

Accepted Answer

Most patients follow a 2-week pre-op liver shrinking diet consisting of protein shakes and lean proteins. This reduces liver size for safer surgery. Your nutritionist will provide a detailed plan during your consultation.

Question 5

Is the surgery reversible?

Accepted Answer

The gastric sleeve is not reversible as part of the stomach is removed. Gastric bypass can technically be reversed but rarely is. The gastric balloon is temporary and removed after 6-12 months. We discuss permanence thoroughly during consultation.
