How to choose a bariatric surgeon in Mexico
Check the training. Look for specialist training in the field and membership of the national specialty society, listed on each profile.
Review many results. Look at before and after photos of patients with a starting point like yours, not just the best cases.
Confirm who operates. Ask in writing that the surgeon you consulted will perform your operation.
Plan follow-up at home. Arrange a U.S. doctor for check-ups before you travel; the CDC recommends it for any treatment abroad.
