If you've spent years fighting a losing battle against the scale, it's time to stop blaming yourself. The Gastric Sleeve (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) is the world's most trusted and most performed bariatric procedure because it addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. By safely removing approximately 80% of your stomach, we reduce its capacity and eliminate the primary source of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. The result is a true metabolic reset. For a limited-time, Dr. Sandy Martinez offers all-inclusive gastric sleeve package starting at $3,795.
The Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery where we remove about 80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, tube-like 'sleeve' roughly the size and shape of a banana. This procedure works in two powerful ways: First, it significantly reduces the amount of food your stomach can hold, helping you feel full much faster. Second, it removes the portion of the stomach that produces 'ghrelin' (the hunger hormone), dramatically reducing your appetite and cravings.
Choosing where to have your gastric sleeve surgery is an important decision, and our team is committed to making that experience as safe, smooth, and supportive as possible. With Dr. Sandy Martinez, you receive personalized bariatric care, clear guidance at every stage, and a treatment plan designed around your health goals.

My experience with gastric sleeve surgery at this facility was exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Sandy and her entire staff (Dr. Claudio, Consuelo, Enrique, Asdrubal) provided outstanding care, compassion, and professionalism throughout the process. I had my surgery on my actual birthday, which was a gift to myself, and one of the nurses surprised me with handmade Happy Birthday signs — a gesture that meant more than she knew and made an already emotional day feel truly special.
The facility itself was spotless, comfortable, and welcoming. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, supportive, and genuinely invested in my well‑being. Their kindness and attentiveness made me feel safe, confident, and cared for at every step.
I’m grateful for such a positive experience and highly recommend this team to anyone considering.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team at this practice! From before my gastric sleeve surgery through my recovery afterward, everyone was incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, informed, and cared for every step of the way.
Dr. Sandy was absolutely fantastic. She greeted me personally before my surgery, took the time to answer all of my questions, and made me feel so reassured going into the procedure. She also followed up with me afterward to make sure I was doing well, which meant so much to me.
The nurses were also amazing and consistently checked in on me throughout my recovery to make sure everything was going smoothly. I truly felt like I was being cared for by people who genuinely wanted me to have the best experience possible.
I especially want to recognize Merit and Enrique for going above and beyond. They were incredibly accommodating and went the extra mile to make things easier for me whenever they could. Their kindness and willingness to help really stood out!!
I am so grateful to the entire team for making what could have been an intimidating experience feel comfortable, positive, and supported. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Sandy's practice to anyone considering gastric sleeve or any other bariatric surgery!

Gastric Sleeve surgery can transform not only your body weight, but also your energy, mobility, and long-term health.
The gastric sleeve is a quick procedure that only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete in our Tijuana, Mexico, practice. Most sleeve gastrectomy patients will begin to see results from the surgery within weeks, like weight loss and health improvements.
Overeating can be a habit that's hard to break for many people. Gastric sleeve surgery lowers your appetite both physically and mentally. It reduces stomach size and removes the fundus, therefore reducing the secretion of ghrelin (the "hunger hormone") in the stomach.
Take preventative action for your health by undergoing a sleeve gastrectomy. Patients can drastically reduce their chance of developing weight-related conditions like high blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and sleep disorders.
