World-Class Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

Safe and Affordable VSG in Tijuana: Your Journey, Fully Guided

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.

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

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.

I cannot express how grateful I am for this amazing experience and the wonderful people who were part of my gastric sleeve journey!

First, I want to give a special thank you to the coordinators, Enrique, Merit, and Consuelo, for being so helpful, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They made everything feel organized and comfortable, and I truly appreciated their kindness and positive energy.

A huge thank you to my surgeon, Dr. Sandy, and Dr. Claudio, for their professionalism, compassion, and dedication to their patients. Having surgery is a big decision, and naturally, I was nervous, but they made me feel safe, reassured, and confident in my decision.

I also want to recognize the entire nursing and medical staff. Everyone was so welcoming, caring, patient, and attentive. What stood out to me the most was the amazing energy everyone carried. You can genuinely feel that they love what they do and care about their patients.

This surgery marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have had such an incredible team by my side.

Thank you, Enrique, Merit, Consuelo, Dr. Sandy, Dr. Claudio, and the entire team, for making this experience so special and memorable. I will forever be grateful! ❤️

Hello everyone. I used Dr Sandy and her team to get my gastric  sleeve done. First off she is amazing. Her entire staff is super nice and welcoming. The cleanliness of the hospital was outstanding. Dr Sandy was super informative about what was going to happen during the procedure and made sure I had all my questions were answered.  My procedure went very well and I feel better than ever. I don't think I could have had a better experience with anybody else. I want to say to anybody thinking about getting in touch with her team do not hesitate. They are the best. Thank you Dr Sandy and your entire team  for saving my life. I wish I could give more stars on the review because they really do deserve it.

This week my son had surgery performed by Dr. Sandy Martinez. I just want to express my gratitude for every detail they provided. The care was excellent, but above all, incredibly warm, which is hard to find. Often, doctors treat us like just another patient, but Dr. Sandy and her entire team went above and beyond simply doing their job. We were treated with warmth and love.

From the moment we arrived, everyone treated us with excellence, ensuring we were well cared for, comfortable, and above all, informed, answering every question to make the process smoother and more peaceful.

I highly recommend her. The doctor is excellent in her field. The surgery was laparoscopic, and everything went perfectly. His recovery will be faster and without scarring. My son is doing well and recovering at home.

Life-Changing Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve surgery can transform not only your body weight, but also your energy, mobility, and long-term health.

Rapid, Sustainable Weight Loss

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.

Reduced Hunger and Cravings

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.

A Healthier, More Confident Future

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.
