Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a bariatric surgeon in Tijuana is certified?
Bariatric surgery is practised by certified general surgeons. The board to ask about is the Consejo Mexicano de Cirugía General. Certification runs five years and then must be renewed, so ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up in the CONACEM public directory.
Is "certified" on a clinic website enough?
No. Clinics and medical plazas across Mexico advertise "certified specialists" without naming a board, a number or a date. Certification is a public record with an expiry, so the word alone is an adjective rather than something you can act on.
How long should I stay in Tijuana?
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. Tijuana is a land crossing, so a follow-up visit is a drive rather than another flight, which makes staged treatment far more practical here.
