💭 Why people choose this path
For many, this is about more than weight loss, it’s about improving health, mobility, confidence, and quality of life. These were my reasons!
It’s a big decision, and one only you can make, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
💰 Pricing (USD)
Sleeve: from $6,895
Bypass: from $8,295
📅 Spaces are limited and tend to fill quickly. Already: 3 gone, another one booking today. Means only 4 spaces left...
This price can only stay this low whilst the flight prices remain. If they increase so does the group cost, we try to keep it as low as possible. We know times are hard!
Q. Is there any violence on the streets in Tijuana?
A. Not in the medical tourism district. Patients like you are not out walking the streets or navigating the city on your own.
Everything is fully coordinated and controlled, you’re transported in private vehicles directly between the airport, hospital, and hotel, and you’re in safe, well-established medical areas the entire time.
Thousands of patients travel through this process every year without issue. Your safety is a top priority for MBC throughout the journey.
Q. Will my flight be cancelled?
Flight cancellations are very uncommon, (but can happen) especially for international long-haul flights like Auckland to Los Angeles.
That said, like any travel, delays or changes can occasionally happen due to weather or operational reasons. If anything were to change, the airline will always rebook you on the next available flight.
I would manage the surgery rescheduling if needed, through any changes and our 'behind the scenes' team is epic!
Q. Will I be affected by the current war in the Middle East?
A. No, your travel route and destination are completely separate from that region.
You’ll be travelling from New Zealand → Los Angeles → Tijuana (Mexico), which is geographically far removed from the Middle East and not impacted by that situation.
International travel continues to operate as normal on these routes. As always, airlines and authorities closely monitor global events, and if anything were to change, appropriate measures would be taken, but at this stage, there is no impact on your travel plans. And why should we put our lives on hold?
If you’ve been thinking about surgery, (and you must have to be in this group right?) this could be your sign to start the conversation.
Send me a message if you’d like more information or just want to chat. No pressure at all.
Ngā mihi,
Vanessa 💛
