Mexico Bariatric Center Reviews

The top ranked surgeons who work with MBS are Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela and Dr. Ismael Cabrera and together with other surgeons they have shown excellent care and understanding and unparalleled medical expertise. Each of them has delivered high success rates and lowest complication rates in the surgeries they have done. The surgeons perform hard-to-do surgeries including gastric sleeve (VSG), adjustable gastric banding (lap band), mini gastric bypass, Roux-en-y gastric bypass, gastric plication, duodenal switch and correct any failed surgeries while striving to provide the best quality service and results as possible. The surgeries are laparoscopically done unless there is a previous scar where they do the traditional open surgery.

The attractive weight loss surgery packages have their prices all-inclusive and these include:

  • Preoperative tests and evaluation
  • Hotel /airport and hospital transportation
  • Hospital fees
  • Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees
  • Pain and antibiotic medicine
  • 2 or 3 nights at the hospital
  • 1night pre-operative and 1 night postoperative hotel stay
  • Nutritionist program
  • Use of telephone to call to the U.S at no charge.

However, the prices also do vary depending on the type of surgery done and the surgeon you choose. The payment options are cash payments, credit cards, personal checks, wire transfers and money orders. For those who don’t have cash or insurance to pay for the surgery or their insurance has turned down their request to pay for the surgery, they can get access to low-stress, easy to payback plans through Medical Tourism Insurance.

The Medical Tourism Insurance offer is through a third party financing company, and this is at a reasonable price to cover anyone against unforeseen situations. MBC links a patient with financing companies where they help you pay for all expenses associated with the surgery. Medical Tourism Insurance also gives you peace of mind and protects you against any additional expenses during your medical procedure.
