Medical Tourism for Weight Loss Surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz & Company (EOC) - Episode 172

For many people who need weight loss surgery, insurance doesn’t always cover the cost. Self-pay for bariatric surgeries in the United States can be expensive. Due to this cost, Medical Tourism for Bariatric Surgery in Mexico has become a great alternative for those looking for more cost-effective options to get WLS.   Our Sleeved Life Podcast has talked with several patients that traveled to Mexico for weight loss surgery. But, in this episode, Kellie & Mel sit down with Dr. Elias Ortiz and Dr. Manoel Galvao Neto of Elias Ortiz and Company to discuss their weight loss surgery center in Tijuana, Mexico. Dr. Ortiz introduces EOC and how the company works with its patients. He explains how patients start the process to have WLS at their facility and what patients can expect pre and post-op.  Dr. Galvao talks with OSLP about the newest non-surgical bariatric procedure geared toward those with a lower BMI, the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), that he helped develop and now performs at EOC. Elias Ortiz and Company has been in business since 2019 and served nearly twenty thousand people looking to better their lives with weight loss surgery. They also have extensive plastic surgery practice as well. Dr. Ortiz was also nominated for a Just Be You Award in the Best Bariatric Surgeon category!

We did our best to scrub the audio, but it’s still noticeable.** OSLP strives to educate and inform the bariatric community and those with predetermined ideas about weight loss surgery.
