In Canada, getting weight loss surgery isn’t just about health. It’s about navigating:
- Long waitlists (often 2–4 years)
- Rigid medical approval systems
- High costs for private options
- Judgment, delay, and frustration
More and more Canadians are deciding not to wait—and instead, are traveling to Mexico for safe, certified, and affordable bariatric surgery with My Medical Vacations.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re exploring gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or other weight loss procedures abroad.
The Canadian Reality: Delayed Hope
If you’ve tried every diet, battled your weight for years, and finally spoke to your doctor about bariatric surgery, this is likely what happened:
“You qualify, but the waitlist is 18 to 48 months.”
And if you considered private surgery in Canada or the U.S., you may have seen price tags of $25,000 to $40,000 CAD—without 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 don’t need more delay.
You need access, support, and real change—now.
