I had an amazing experience at Mexico Bariatric Center! From the start of my journey I was nervous about going but I knew this was something I needed to do in order to be there for my family and get healthy. I want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible staff in Tijuana, they took care of me. My surgeon Dr. Gutierrez made me feel at ease and safe. My coordinator was also great she answered all my questions quickly and I am grateful for her! Since my procedure last March I have lost over 100 pounds with no complications. If you are on the fence I recommend going to MBC. I will be back too next year with…

Jenny P. · Gastric bypass Dec 2024

I need to say 1st that this is how I perceived the events that took place . I am not a doctor. This is my opinion on how I seen things happen & the information that was given to me. I went with my family member on 11/17/24, as a companion, to Mexico bariatric in Tijuana, Mexico. Where she was to receive a gastric bypass procedure on 11/18/24. Unfortunately my family member did not return with me to Minnesota as planned. I want to start off with, what Mexico bariatric promises you is not true. They promise you all the staff are bilingual. Which is totally incorrect. I would say probably 2% of the hospital staff are bilingual. They promise…

This is strictly for their scheduling staff. My very good friend has researched the doctors and had his heart set on this business. He has had many unanswered requests. Even I myself stopped by the office to speak to someone on his behalf. I was not impressed with the lack of interest in someone that walked in. When I FINALLY was able to speak to someone I gave them my friends name and told them that he was trying to get an appointment for a surgery. They did answer one of his mails. He replied and a week later has still not heard from them. If you are experiencing this I suggest you don't waste any more of your time…

Kimberly B. · Bariatric surgery Nov 2024

i paid close to $700o prior to having barriatric surgery and traveled all the way there and they refused to do the surgery. they said i had a heart problem which i do not. i had never been informed by my primary doctor that i have issue with my heart, however when arriving back home i had it checked out and there is no problem. they will only refund me 35% percent and it took them 17 weeks to do that. i had saved for years and years to do this surgery and was completely devestated when they refused to do the surgery because i was so looking forward to a healthier life . then to financially keep most of…

Alycia E. · Gastric sleeve Feb 2024

I had an amazing experience at MBC! The staff was phenomenal and the surgery went really well. I received a gastric sleeve from Dr. Valenzuela in September of 2022 and I have lost 120 pounds since surgery. My quality of life has improved dramatically. Two of my other family members have had their surgeries done at MBC with wonderful results as well. I would recommend MBC to anyone looking to have weight loss surgery.
