In Canada, getting weight loss surgery isnât just about health. Itâs about navigating:
- Long waitlists (often 2â4 years)
- Rigid medical approval systems
- High costs for private options
- Judgment, delay, and frustration
More and more Canadians are deciding not to waitâand instead, are traveling to Mexico for safe, certified, and affordable bariatric surgery with My Medical Vacations.
Hereâs what you need to know if youâre exploring gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or other weight loss procedures abroad.
The Canadian Reality: Delayed Hope
If youâve tried every diet, battled your weight for years, and finally spoke to your doctor about bariatric surgery, this is likely what happened:
âYou qualify, but the waitlist is 18 to 48 months.â
And if you considered private surgery in Canada or the U.S., you may have seen price tags of $25,000 to $40,000 CADâwithout the follow-up, hotel, or support included.
Meanwhile, your health declines:
- Joint pain increases
- Diabetes gets harder to manage
- Blood pressure rises
- Mental health suffers
You donât need more delay.
You need access, support, and real changeânow.
