Welcome to Go Light Bariatrics, Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Resource in Mexico! It is safe to say that you are here because you have finally reached a point in your life when you are frustrated, exhausted and tired of losing the battle against your extra weight. You have tried everything in your power to lose weight - every diet and exercise program to boot, only to lose a few pounds, and then gain them back in a short period of time.
Our experience and expertise are derived from working with patients from around the world, from this experience we have created a unique weight loss surgery program. And what makes it so special, is our individual Patient Approach. Each procedure has to fit your particular needs.

Our first order of business is to send you a complete information packet, which will include a detailed explanation of our process and provide you with instructions for surgery preparation and pre- and post-operatory diet.You will be required to fill out the needed Medical Forms, which will be thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by Dr. Francisco Zavalza.
Since you are considering bariatric surgery, the first question that naturally arises is What Type of Bariatric Surgery Do I Choose? How do I decide which weight loss procedure is right for me, and whether I am a good candidate?

That depends on various factors: first of all your current health status, BMI (Body Mass Index), body type, family history of diabetes or obesity, high blood pressure, your goals, your personal and your bariatric surgeon's preference, etc.Choosing a specific surgical approach will require a lot of thought and discussion with your doctor.
Sleeve Gastrectomy is an effective form of bariatric surgery and should no longer be considered investigational, according to updated guidelines cosponsored by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, The Obesity Society, and the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery.

Also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Vertical Gastroplasty or Sleeve Gastroplasty, this procedure is another option for those looking for help with their morbid obesity through Gastric Bypass surgery.The gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive procedure meaning that it achieves weight loss results by restricting the amount of food that your body is physically able to take in.
Gastric bypass surgery (RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery) is a combined restrictive-malabsorptive procedure that makes the stomach smaller and causes food to bypass part of the small intestine. You will feel full more quickly than when your stomach was its original size. This reduces the amount of food you can eat at one time.

If you are looking to have bariatric surgery in Mexico, Go Light is a great option! The facilities are very clean and up to date, and all of the medical staff and coordinators are super nice and helpful. The pricing is good and they do not nickel and dime you. The doctors are experienced and clearly care about your success before during and after surgery. I researched this company before booking my surgery and I really couldn’t find anyone who experienced major complications or had major complaints. If you want to talk to others who have gone to go light and other surgeons in Mexico, join the

I could not be happier with my experience at Go Light! The communication is impeccable. All my questions were addressed promptly, even the most uncomfortable concerns received a truthful response. I felt like they were almost reading my mind at some point. On each step, I received instructions, messages, answers. From drivers to nurses and hotel/hospital coordinators, everyone was kind, caring, and welcoming. Dr. Z has an outstanding bedside manner and an uplifting personality. After returning home, I had some concerns about my state and was afraid that I would not get any support; however, as

Dr. Z and Go Light Bariatrics is the way to go. The experience from the time I arrived in Tijuana to the time I left was nothing but incredible.
The care received from Dr. Z and his staff was top notch! They did their due diligence in making sure I would be safe to have the procedure. The post op was great. They monitored my health and well being the entire time. The hospital facility was clean and the Equipment was top of the line.
Going to Mexico for surgery first concerned me but now I would highly recommend it to anyone!

The most amazing, easy, all inclusive, best priced experience for getting bariatric surgery in Mexico!
I just had my surgery with Dr. Zavalza and the Go Light Bariatric team 2 weeks ago. I had been nervous to travel to Mexico but it was so easy.
My insurance in the USA excludes bariatric surgery and it was $24k. I had heard of people going to MX and I joined Dr Z FB group and saw it was $4,300 and included everything but plane ride. No catch.
I decided on surgery just a month before I had it. I submitted a request for consult on the website and was emailed paperwork and times and picked one

I had the best experience I could have hoped for with Dr. Zavalaza and the Go Light Bariatric Team. From the first inquiry up until now (post-op) I only have positive things to say about them. The communication with Irene the coordinator was extraordinary and the attention I received in the hospital was excellent, I felt I was in a 5 star hospital with around the clock care. Im now 3 days post post and feeling good. Best decision I’ve ever made.

Everyone was so nice and went out of their way to help. They took my Daughter to eat while I was in surgery and whenever she was hungry. The tour was fun learning the history of Tijuana. The drivers also were very nice. Dr. Zavalza does excellent work. The staff at GoLight checked up on me to make sure all was well. The staff at the Marriott surpassed any hotel I've stayed at in the states.
