What is the difference between gastric bypass and gastric sleeve?

Gastric bypass reduces stomach size and reroutes part of the small intestine, decreasing calorie absorption. Gastric sleeve removes a large portion of the stomach to limit food intake. Both procedures promote weight loss but differ in technique and outcomes. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your BMI, health conditions and goals.

Who is eligible for gastric bypass?

Candidates typically have a BMI ≥ 40 or BMI 35–39.9 with obesity‑related health issues. They must be committed to lifestyle changes and follow‑up care. Those with previous bariatric surgery or certain medical conditions may require specialised evaluation.

How long is recovery after gastric bypass?

Most patients stay in Tijuana for about one week, including surgery and initial recovery. You’ll transition from liquids to soft foods over several weeks and resume normal activities gradually. Full recovery and weight stabilisation take several months.

Can I finance my surgery?

Yes. We work with financing partners who offer payment plans for qualified patients. Your coordinator can provide more details during your consultation.

Travel & Aftercare Tips

  • Plan for a 7–10 day trip – Arrive in Tijuana a day or two before surgery and stay for several days after for follow‑up and initial recovery.
  • Bring comfortable clothing & essentials – Pack loose clothing, walking shoes and personal hygiene items. You may also bring your CPAP machine if you use one.
  • Follow dietary guidelines – Start pre‑operative diet changes as recommended and follow post‑operative diet progression (liquids, purees, soft foods).
  • Stay mobile – Gentle walking helps prevent blood clots and promotes healing. Your care team will guide you on appropriate activity levels.
  • Arrange support – Having a companion provides emotional support and assistance with mobility and daily activities after surgery.
  • Keep in touch – Maintain communication with your coordinator and surgeon for questions, concerns or complications.
