Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana is the primary bariatric hub for North Americans due to its border proximity. Major networks like Hospital Angeles Tijuana manage more international patients than almost any other global network. Centers such as My New Body have performed over 5,000 laparoscopic procedures. Choosing a clinic with CMCOEM or ACS accreditation often ensures high-volume proficiency without the premium costs found in US-based facilities.
