The cost of bariatric surgery in Mexico is less than half of what it costs in the United States. This makes traveling to Mexico a more affordable option for many people. The cost of surgery may not be the only expense, however, and it is important for individuals to consider other expenses that may be involved. Some of the other costs to consider are pre-op and post-op testing, post-op care, travel expenses, follow-up appointments, and in the case of adjustable gastric band surgery, adjustments or fills.

Many bariatric surgeons in Mexico provide an all-inclusive surgery package, but this can vary so it is important to find out exactly what services are included in the cost and which ones are not. An all-inclusive surgery package generally includes ground transportation to hotel and/or hospital, hotel, lab tests, surgery costs, surgeon fees, and hospital expenses, as well as scheduling tests and surgery and coordinating travel arrangements. Make sure you find out what expenses are included and if there are any additional expenses you will need to cover.
