Medical Tourism
Each year, millions of people engage in medical tourism, which is going to a foreign country for health care needs.
So many make this decision because they are seeking more affordable medical care than what is available at home.
Vive Bariatrics in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico is a medical tourism destination for elite weight loss surgery at a fraction of American costs.

Why Mexico Beats Other Countries
WHEN IT COMES TO MEDICAL TOURISM
Traveling to Vive Bariatrics in Mexico for weight loss surgery procedures is significantly less burdensome than going to other medical tourism destinations like Thailand and Singapore.
A typical flight from Texas to Thailand will take around 22 hours and require a connecting flight. Once there, you will have to adjust to the new time zone (roughly 12 hours ahead of Texas) and deal with jet lag. By comparison, a flight to the San Diego Airport to see us takes just a fraction of the time and requires a minimal time zone adjustment.
