Savings From Medical Tourism Comparing Prices on Both Sides of the Border
A dollar goes further in Mexico than it does in the United States. This simple fact about currency across the border has fueled an interest in medical tourism. Vision Bariatrics attracts many patients from America and around the world who want to save money on weight loss surgery.
Immense Cost-Savings From Medical Tourism
As we mentioned on our blog last year, the cost of bariatric surgery in America is typically between $20,000 to $25,000. If you come to Vision Bariatrics for gastric bypass surgery, you can save more than $14,000 on the procedure.Work Performed by Qualified Bariatric Surgeons

Gastric Sleeve
Vision Bariatrics charges $4,999 for gastric sleeve surgery. The gastric sleeve procedure is less complicated than the gastric bypass and can yield lasting weight loss results.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Vision Bariatrics charges $4,999 for mini gastric bypass surgery. This modified procedure can yield comparable weight loss results to traditional gastric bypass surgery.
Financing Options Masking Gastric Bypass More Affordable
Even though $4,999 is a considerable savings compared to the United States, it can still be a financial burden to patients who want to do something about their obesity.
The team at Vision Bariatrics tries to make weight loss surgery as affordable as possible, which is why we accept Visa, Master Card, and American Express and has third-party financing through United Medical Credit. We can work with you to find an affordable and effective solution that fits your budget.
Is Gastric Bypass Worth the Cost?
Many patients wonder if gastric bypass costs are worth it, even with the savings from medical tourism. Our bariatric surgeons feel that the health benefits justify the price tag. Think of bypass surgery as an investment in your future.
The post-op results can be dramatic, with significant weight loss, reduction of your body mass index (BMI), and treatment for obesity comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. The long-term savings on additional medical care can be immense.
