Your Journey to Safe,
Affordable Surgery
in Tijuana — Made Simple
At Go Med Pro, we guide you through every step of your journey to bariatric surgery in Tijuana — from your first question to the moment you walk into the hospital, fully prepared and confident.
Our process is simple, structured, and designed with your safety and peace of mind in mind.
Step 01.
Pre-Qualify
Online
Start with a quick online form that helps us understand your medical background and overall health.
This first step allows our team to determine your eligibility and recommend the most suitable bariatric procedure for your goals.
Step 02.
Fill Your Medical History
Once pre-qualified, you’ll be invited to complete a more detailed medical history.
This is essential for our surgeons and medical coordinators to assess your case thoroughly and begin designing a tailored treatment plan.
Step 03.
Schedule a Free Consultation
Meet your dedicated medical coordinator — your personal representative in Mexico.
To explain your treatment options, answer all your questions, and prepare you for a virtual consultation with the surgeon.
Step 04.
Reserve Your Surgery Date
After your consultation with the surgeon, your coordinator will help finalize all details: confirming the hospital, accommodation, full pricing, and selecting the surgery date.
Once everything is clear, you’ll be guided to reserve your spot.
Why do we follow these steps?
Each step is essential to ensuring your safety, maximizing your results, and helping you feel fully supported throughout the journey.
By starting with pre-qualification, we avoid unnecessary travel or delays and focus only on medically appropriate procedures.
The medical history allows our board-certified surgeons to plan effectively and identify any red flags ahead of time. It also builds a strong clinical understanding of your case, making your procedure safer and more successful.
Your medical coordinator
Your medical coordinator is more than just support — they act as your advocate, explaining every detail in your language, providing trusted guidance, and helping you make informed decisions.
In many cases, they can even organize a video consultation between you and the surgeon. After that, the coordinator stays with you on the call to define all logistical details and answer follow-up questions.

Day 1:
Arrival in San Diego
& Transfer to Tijuana
Plan your arrival at San Diego International Airport (SAN) before 12:00 PM (noon PST). Upon landing, a driver will meet you for your included ground transportation across the border. The drive to Tijuana typically takes about 20–30 minutes.
Depending on your package, you will check in at either a hotel or a medical facility. A patient coordinator will assist you with registration, explain the next steps, and help you complete pre-operative tests such as lab work and EKGs. If staying at a hotel, you’ll be picked up the next morning for your procedure.
Day 2:
Surgery Day
You’ll be transported to the medical facility where your coordinator will assist with your room assignment and guide you through pre-surgery preparations. Compression garments and hospital gowns will be provided.
Medical professionals involved in your procedure—such as the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and support staff—will conduct final checks and answer any last-minute questions about your treatment plan. After surgery, you’ll rest in your room under 24/7 nursing care. Be prepared to feel drowsy post-op and plan to contact loved ones once you’re fully awake.
Day 3:
In-Hospital Recovery
This day is dedicated to recovery, observation, and routine post-op testing. Depending on your procedure, you’ll undergo 2–3 leak tests and continue to receive medications, IV fluids, and assistance from medical staff.
Daily visits from medical personnel may occur to monitor your progress and provide guidance. Gentle walking is highly encouraged to promote circulation, reduce gas discomfort, and support healing.

Once medically cleared for travel, you’ll be discharged from the hospital. A care package may be provided, including medications, test results, and post-op instructions.

Below are some important details to help you get ready for your upcoming trip:
Required Travel Documents
A valid Passport is strongly recommended for crossing the U.S.–Mexico border. If you don’t have one or need a renewal, we advise applying for an expedited service before your scheduled travel dates.
If you do not have a passport, your coordinator may approve alternate forms of ID. One of the following may be accepted:
- Passport Card.
- REAL ID or Enhanced Driver’s License.
- Valid Driver’s License plus your original U.S. Birth Certificate (no copies).
Helpful Tip: Bringing your Social Security card and a recent utility or cell phone bill with a matching address can help streamline the process at the border.
Always confirm your documentation requirements with your coordinator before traveling.
