Tijuana Bariatrics has helped me through my sleeve journey and I could not be happier that I chose them for my weight loss transformation. Currently I am about a week post-op and couldn't be happier that I chose to make the journey to Tijuana. Eduardo and my surgeon, Dr. JP Fernandez were incredible along the journey. From the initial phone call to the post-op care, I would definitely suggest them to my friends and family as they cared for me with respect and dignity.
The first day we arrived late as Southwest Airlines had a later flight. The team at Tijuana Bariatrics were so helpful that they even arranged a private driver to pick me up from the San Diego airport and take us to the hotel for the night
The second day was surgery day. We arrived at the hospital and they prepped me for a blood test as well as the surgery. Dr. JP Fernandez was insightful and caring during the process. He explained everything and reassured me about everything.
The third and fourth days were for recovery and rest. I would recommend that you be mindful of timing as the border coming back to the US can be unpredictable. However, the team at Tijuana Bariatrics assisted with everything.
I highly recommend Tijuana Bariatrics for your weight loss journey. They are respectful, caring, and uphold the same quality of care that one would expect if it was in the United States. If you are on the fence or are thinking about weight loss surgery, I would challenge you to contact them. You won't regret it.
My only issues were that I felt my pain wasn't always managed in a timely manner, the cafeteria closed way too early for my husband, and I was suprised at how little English the nurses knew. Thank God for Google Translate.

Candidacy & BMI: Determining Your Surgical Eligibility
Understanding Your BMI
Your Body Mass Index helps our clinical team categorize the level of obesity and determine which surgical technique—such as Gastric Sleeve or Bypass—will yield the most effective long-term results for your metabolic profile. In this section, you will be able to know your BMI level just by providing your data.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Beyond the numbers, we evaluate your complete medical history to ensure you are a safe candidate for anesthesia and surgical intervention.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Once your candidacy is confirmed, we will guide you with a pre-surgery plan that includes nutritional guidance and lifestyle changes to promote an optimal recovery.
Measurable Health Outcomes: A Clinical Path to Metabolic Recovery
Bariatric surgery is a powerful metabolic intervention designed to address the root causes of obesity-related illnesses through advanced surgical techniques. Our medical approach focuses on providing a “reset” for your system, allowing for significant improvements or complete remission in critical health areas:
Type 2 Diabetes Remission
Our surgical procedures are designed to optimize glucose metabolism. This frequently leads to a significant reduction in HbA1c levels and a decreased reliance on daily medications shortly after the procedure.
Cardiovascular Health (Hypertension)
By reducing systemic inflammation and vascular strain, more than 70% of our patients see a marked improvement in blood pressure, contributing to long-term heart protection and improved vitality.
Respiratory Efficiency (Sleep Apnea)
Weight-related respiratory obstruction is significantly mitigated through surgical intervention, allowing for natural sleep patterns and increased oxygen saturation without the need for CPAP devices.
Verify how bariatric surgery can help you achieve long-term health and metabolic recovery.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A Proven Path to Sustainable Weight Loss
Predictable Weight Loss Results
Most patients lose between 60% and 70% of excess body weight during the first 12 to 18 months following the procedure.
Hormonal Regulation
By removing the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin, appetite is balanced, making it easier to maintain healthy eating habits.
Metabolic Support
Gastric sleeve surgery also improves insulin sensitivity, reduces inflammation, and helps control symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), strengthening your metabolism.
Consult with our surgical team to determine if the Gastric Sleeve is the most appropriate clinical solution for your health goals.
Lifestyle Transformation: Reclaiming Your Vitality and Health
Restored Physical Capability
Weight loss relieves joint pain and improves cardiovascular endurance, allowing you to enjoy exercise and daily activities once again.
Long-Term Health Maintenance
The procedure helps improve or control conditions such as sleep apnea, hypertension, and fatty liver, promoting a longer, healthier life expectancy and reduced medical dependency.
Psychological Empowerment
Achieving health goals generates greater self-confidence and a more positive outlook on future well-being.
