Monthly Payments for Your Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric and weight loss surgery is more affordable than you might think. With flexible monthly payment options through trusted providers, you can move forward with your health journey at a pace that fits your budget.
Instead of paying the full amount up front, many patients prefer to use familiar payment services they already recognize from everyday purchases, while receiving their world-class medical care at Cervantes Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico.

Why these payment options are visible on our site
Right now, we focus on showing widely recognized financial providers such as Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal, and HEVA. These brands are familiar to many patients and help build confidence that monthly payments work in a similar way to other everyday purchases.
Behind the scenes, our team uses secure tools to send you a personalized link with your specific options. We keep the front-end simple and professional, so you see only the providers that add clear value and are easy to understand for your medical journey.
How the monthly payment process works
The process starts like any other consultation at Cervantes Bariatrics: you speak with a coordinator first. If monthly payments are a good fit for you, they help you explore options through a secure link sent directly to you.
Start with a regular consultation inquiry. Your Cervantes Bariatrics coordinator will review your case, answer your questions, and let you know if monthly payments are a good fit for your surgical plan.
If you're eligible, your coordinator will send you a secure link to view U.S. payment options with trusted providers. This link is sent directly to you securely and is not displayed publicly on the site.
You complete your application directly with the provider and, if approved, choose the monthly plan that works for your budget. Once that's in place, your coordinator confirms the next steps for your surgery and travel.

Excellence in Bariatric Care
Our Procedures
We utilize the most advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques to ensure your safety, comfort, and long-lasting weight loss success.
Gastric Sleeve
The most popular and effective bariatric procedure. We remove approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a smaller "sleeve" that restricts food intake and significantly reduces hunger hormones, promoting rapid and safe weight loss.

Gastric Bypass
Considered the gold standard in bariatric surgery. This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestines. It provides exceptional weight loss results and is highly effective in resolving type 2 diabetes and severe acid reflux.

Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified, highly effective alternative to the traditional bypass. It features a shorter operating time, excellent weight loss results, and lower complication rates while effectively improving metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.
