Why Medical Tourism

Same Quality, Fraction of the Price

The high cost of US health care leads many patients to delay procedures they want and need. Medical tourism — traveling abroad for medical care — has emerged as a smart, safe alternative for tens of thousands of Americans and Canadians every year.

There is no better option than bariatric surgery for patients struggling with obesity who can't lose weight on their own. Our team of expert surgeons, supported by a compassionate bilingual staff, has helped over 15,000 patients reach goals they once only dreamed of.

We operate out of premier Accredited facilities and use minimally-invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques to reduce visible scarring while speeding recovery. Plus, our comprehensive packages turn medical treatment into a memorable, well-supported experience.

  • Accredited & AAAHC-accredited hospitals
  • Bilingual care from start to follow-up
  • Pickup from San Diego or local airports
  • All-inclusive pricing — no surprise fees

FAQ

Common Medical Tourism Questions

Everything Americans, Canadians, and international patients ask before traveling to Mexico for bariatric surgery.

Is medical tourism in Mexico safe?
Absolutely. ALO Bariatrics operates exclusively out of Accredited and AAAHC-accredited hospitals — the same international standards used by top US facilities. Our surgeons are board-certified by the Mexican Council of General Surgery and members of international bariatric societies. Over 15,000 patients have safely traveled to us from the US, Canada, and beyond.
How much can I save vs. having surgery in the United States?
Most patients save between 50% and 80% on the total cost of bariatric surgery. A gastric sleeve that runs $18,000–$25,000 in the US starts at $4,500 with us. Even after travel and lodging, the savings are substantial — and our package already includes hotel and ground transport.
What's actually included in the price?
Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, full hospital stay, pre-op labs and tests, all medications, hotel before and after surgery, and ground transportation from San Diego or your destination airport. Lifetime bilingual follow-up support is also included at no extra cost.
Do you offer pickup from the United States?
Yes. For Tijuana patients, we provide complimentary pickup at San Diego International Airport (SAN) and shuttle you across the border to your hotel. For Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, we coordinate pickup at the local international airport (GDL or PVR).
How long do I need to stay in Mexico?
Most patients stay 4 to 5 days total — including pre-op consultation, surgery, hospital recovery, and a check-up before flying home. We tailor the schedule to your procedure and travel preferences.
What if I have complications after I return home?
We provide lifetime bilingual follow-up support by phone, WhatsApp, and email. In the rare event of a complication that requires re-intervention, we coordinate care directly with you and have established protocols with US providers when needed.
Are your surgeons really board-certified?
Every ALO Bariatrics surgeon is certified by the Mexican Council of General Surgery (CMCG) and most hold additional fellowship training and memberships in international bariatric societies (IFSO, ASMBS-affiliated programs). We publish each surgeon's full credentials on their individual profile pages.
Can I bring a companion?
Absolutely encouraged. Most patients travel with a spouse, family member, or friend. We help arrange comfortable accommodations and our coordinators support both of you throughout the journey.
