"May 6th 2026 I have my MMO with Dr Illich Navarro in Tijuana MX. Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks PO. I want to say recovery has been a trial I know I was not totally prepared for. Dr Navarro is truly an amazing surgeon. I’m so happy with my results. I would next like to thank my day nurse from the hospital, Obdulia! She was sweet, kind and even in pain made me smile. My next nurse, Isabel, came to take care of me during my hotel stay. I may never see her again but I will always remember her and how much she cared about me. I still receive messages from her checking in and making sure that I am OK. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

"From start to finish, the entire experience was incredible. I’ll admit I was nervous about traveling to another country for surgery, but they made the whole process so easy. The hospital is beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable. They checked on me constantly, answered all my questions, and made sure I never felt like just another patient. Since coming home, I’ve had no complications at all. My recovery has been smooth, and I feel better than I have in years. I’m so grateful to Mexico Bariatric Center for helping me. If you’re thinking about bariatric surgery, don’t hesitate! They’ll take care of you, and you’ll feel so supported throughout the entire process."

"I love this place. I had weightloss surgery with Dr Cejas 7 months ago. He and his team saved my life because of there treatment and care and telling me the truth and switching my planned surgery to one that would benefit me more. I am down 71lbs so far and the team and all the nursery and staff are amazing. Just its loud on weekends outside and you can hear it."

"I was referred to MBC by the cousin of s close friend. I got the gastric sleeve 3/17 and the experience from beginning to end was great. From prepayment, communication, instructions, airport pick up n drop off. The staff was great, literally everything was amazing. I would do it again tomorrow no changes."
