Bariatric Surgery

Gastric sleeve, bypass, duodenal switch, ESG, and revisional surgery

Surgical weight loss procedures are sometimes covered by insurance but frequently paid in cash when patients are denied, want faster access, or do not meet pre-authorization requirements (typically 3-6 months of supervised weight loss). Mexico and Tijuana have become major cash-pay destinations at roughly half US pricing. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is the fastest-growing category as a non-surgical alternative to traditional bariatric surgery.
