Bariatric surgery options

- Gastric bypass. This method costs around $6,300–$7,300 and creates a small pouch from the stomach to redirect food.
- Biliopancreatic diversion. This more complex surgery may cost around $6,500–$15,000 depending on the specific case requirements.

Service provided was 1000/10
The staff at the hospital were all attentive to my needs and offered excellent service. Even though sometimes there was a communication barrier, they all provided me with the best treatment possible tending to all my needs. They were empathetic and sympathetic. I would recommend this hospital for any procedure you might need. The comfort level and cleanliness of the rooms was great. The fact that a family member could stay with you while you recover was indeed a nice touch as you need a familiar face during this time.
Overall, my experience was superb and I would recommend hospital and doctor with his support staff. Service provided was 1000/10.
Service and care provided by hospital staff was excellent.

I feel I was in very capable hands
My biggest worry was the recovery process, but everything has been managed so well. The surgeon and staff were incredibly supportive and professional throughout. My laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, leaving me with fewer than ten sutures, and I can see my incision is already healing perfectly. Of course, I’m still very tired, and daily activities like bending or lifting are the main challenge for now, which is to be expected. I feel I was in very capable hands. Based on the care I received, I would definitely suggest this clinic to anyone.
I was helped from start to finish with ongoing, clear communication. I felt safe and in good hands throughout the process.
The only comment would be that the nursing staff didn’t all speak English so having a good introductory knowledge of Spanish was necessary.
