Sleeve gastrectomy is irreversible major surgery. Package prices change with BMI, technique, and what is bundled. Figures here are published ranges to help you budget — always request a written, itemized quote and complete a full medical evaluation with a qualified bariatric surgeon.
Published Tijuana vs US self-pay
Prefer a clinic's own page over a facilitator “from $3,795” ad. Where a reputable JCI center will not post a sticker, we say so.

Country-level Mexico sleeve bands on our sleeve cost-by-country page (roughly $3,795–$7,500) are orientation ranges. This page prefers named, dated clinic lines. For safety and surgeon-vetting narrative, use gastric sleeve in Mexico: safety— do not treat that guide as a live price list.

JCI and named reputable programs
Tijuana is a 20-minute drive from San Diego — that is why sleeve volume concentrates here. Volume is not a quality signal by itself. Use hospital accreditation and a named, board-certified surgeon:
- LIMARP — dedicated obesity hospital; JCI / SRC-style reputation; quotes after consult; says services do not include travel packages.
- Obesity Control Center — JCI-accredited program at Hospital CYNTAR; sleeve by virtual consultation.
- ALO Bariatrics — the transparent published floor ($4,500 Tijuana). Confirm the hospital name on your quote (Hospital Dreams on their destination page) and the surgeon's current credentials.
Border logistics live on the Mexico medical tourism planner. Compare a Mexico quote to a GLP-1 program before you treat surgery as the first lever: sleeve vs a GLP-1 program.
How to vet a Tijuana sleeve quote
- Hospital name and current accreditation (JCI or equivalent) — verified on the accreditor site, not only the brochure.
- Named surgeon, board certification, and annual sleeve volume.
- Itemized inclusions: OR, stay length, hotel, transfers, labs, leak protocol.
- Flying-home day and a US clinician willing to manage post-bariatric follow-up.
- Compare the same product to the WeightWise $9,995 cash bundle and to destination context on the cash-pay map and medical tourism.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gastric sleeve cost in Tijuana vs the US?▼
As of September 5, 2026, ALO Bariatrics publishes an all-inclusive laparoscopic sleeve in Tijuana from $4,500 USD (Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta from $5,000). WeightWise in Edmond, Oklahoma, publishes a US cash Tier 1 sleeve at $9,995 (surgeon, anesthesia, and uncomplicated hospital stay). Hospital and insured US sleeves commonly run the mid-teens to mid-$20,000s. JCI-accredited Tijuana centers such as LIMARP and Obesity Control Center do not post a single public sleeve sticker — they quote after evaluation. Confirm an itemized written quote. This is information, not medical advice.
What is included in a Tijuana gastric sleeve package?▼
ALO’s published Tijuana package typically bundles surgeon and anesthesia fees, hospital stay, pre-op labs and EKG, airport pickup, hotel, bilingual coordinator, post-op medications, a nutrition plan, and months of remote follow-up. International flights are not included. LIMARP states its medical-tourism services do not include travel packages — you buy flights and often hotel separately. High BMI or extra health conditions can raise the quote. Get the inclusion list in writing.
Which Tijuana sleeve programs are JCI-accredited?▼
Joint Commission International accreditation applies to the hospital or center, not automatically to every surgeon who operates there. Obesity Control Center (Hospital CYNTAR) and LIMARP are the named Tijuana programs we treat as JCI / hospital-grade reputation filters. ALO publishes a $4,500 Tijuana package at Hospital Dreams and cites board-certified surgeons (FACS / ASMBS / IFSO memberships on the surgeon page) — confirm current facility accreditation yourself. Accreditation is not a guarantee of outcome.
Are flights included in Tijuana sleeve prices?▼
No. Published all-inclusive packages cover local transfers (often San Diego or Tijuana airport) and sometimes a hotel, not your ticket from home. Most programs clear patients to fly home about 5–7 days after surgery — confirm the surgeon’s clearance, not a marketing calendar. Add travel insurance and a companion’s costs before you compare “all-in” to a US cash bundle.
Can I get an instant sleeve quote from this page?▼
No. VitalityScout does not issue hospital invoices or book surgery. You can request an intro by email; we will reply with the questions to send a Tijuana program (BMI, inclusions, hospital name, aftercare). Then verify every figure with the provider and complete a medical evaluation. Sleeve gastrectomy is irreversible major surgery.
