Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a specialist is really board certified in Mexico?
Bariatric surgery is practised by certified general surgeons. The board to ask about is the Consejo Mexicano de Cirugía General. Certification is a legal requirement under the General Health Law, articles 81 and 272 Bis, it runs five years, and the directory is public. Ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up.
Does it matter which city I go to?
For the credential, no: certification is national, so the same board certifies the same specialty everywhere in Mexico. For the trip, yes. A border city means a follow-up is a drive; a fly-in city means another flight. That difference usually matters more than the price.
How long should I plan to stay?
Bariatric surgery is not a day trip. Expect several nights in the area before it is safe to fly or make a long drive, and ask your surgeon for the exact interval rather than booking around a guess.
