Gastric balloon in Tijuana typically costs from $3,300 to $4,500. Prices depend on the chosen balloon brand, clinic accreditation, and the duration of the program. Patients save around 74% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $12,500 on average. Packages generally include medical fees, the device, ground transfers from San Diego, and nutritional support.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana is Mexico's primary bariatric hub, concentrating more internationally certified surgeons than regional peers like Mexicali. Highly accredited centers provide significant value by meeting global benchmarks for safety and quality. For example, Dr. Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez at LIMARP was the first female surgeon globally designated as a Surgeon of Excellence by the US-based Surgical Review Corporation.
