Bariatric Travel Guide for US Patients
Everything you need to know about traveling to Tijuana for safe, accredited weight loss surgery.
Your Journey, Start to Finish
A clear, coordinated process designed around your safety and comfort.
1. Virtual Consultation
Share medical history and labs. A surgeon confirms candidacy and procedure recommendation remotely.
2. Fly to San Diego
Book a flight to San Diego International (SAN). Most US patients arrive the day before surgery.
3. Border Crossing
A private, bilingual driver meets you and handles the short, organized crossing into Tijuana — often via the dedicated medical lane.
4. Surgery
Pre-op labs, your procedure, and 2–3 nights in a monitored recovery suite with 24/7 nursing.
5. Local Recovery
Rest 2–5 additional nights nearby before your fitness-to-fly clearance.
6. Return & Follow-Up
Fly home with medications, instructions, and a remote follow-up and nutrition plan.
