Weight Status: Overweight
Body mass index (BMI) measures body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. For most adults, an ideal BMI is in the 18.5 to 24.9 range. The measurement for children and young people aged 2 to 18 is similar but also considers age and gender as well as height and weight. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 means you're in the healthy weight range. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 means you're overweight.

Tijuana Bariatric Center

Once approved, we will schedule your surgery at one of our medical facilities.
The Tijuana Bariatric Center team handles your care from the moment you land at the San Diego Airport until your departure. A designated driver will pick you up and chauffeur you to your hotel in Tijuana, where you can relax for the first night before beginning your weight loss journey. The morning after your arrival, you will visit the hospital to undergo pre-operative tests for your bariatric procedure and to meet with your surgeon, internist medical doctor, anesthesiologist, and follow-up care doctors.
Depending on the type of bariatric procedure selected, you will remain in the hospital for one to three nights to monitor their progress. During this time, your doctors and nutritionist will visit to advise you on proper aftercare and diet, as well as provide information about the tests required at follow-up appointments. Once your doctors approve you for discharge, you will spend one to two final nights at the hotel before a driver takes you back to the San Diego Airport.
