About CIBAJO

CIBAJO is a bariatric center in Mexico City serving local and international patients seeking modern, minimally invasive weight-loss procedures.

The program focuses on evidence-based care, clear pre-op education, and structured aftercare. Typical procedures associated with the clinic include gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy), gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), adjustable gastric band, and revision surgery. With Mexico City’s strong medical infrastructure and easy air links, CIBAJO is a practical choice for travelers comparing outcomes and costs across the region.

 

Why Book This Clinic with Medical Departures?
 

  • Verified listing with platform support, best-price protection on listed services, and coordinated quotes.
  • Focused bariatric portfolio designed for safety and results with minimally invasive techniques.
  • Mexico City location with straightforward access from MEX Airport and major hotel districts.
  • Clear coordination for international patients (pre-op labs, anesthesia/OR time, follow-ups, and logistics).

 

Location & Access
 

CIBAJO operates in Mexico City (CDMX). From Mexico City International Airport (MEX), plan approximately 25–50 minutes by authorized airport taxi or rideshare (Uber, Didi, Cabify), depending on traffic and your hotel area. From Polanco, Reforma, Roma/Condesa or Centro, typical rides are 15–35 minutes outside rush hour. Your Medical Departures itinerary will include the exact address, building entrance, parking or drop-off notes, and the best arrival time window for your consult.

 

What to Expect

 

  • Surgical scope: sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, and bariatric revision; final candidacy is confirmed after a full medical review.
  • Patient flow: pre-op evaluation and labs, anesthesia assessment, surgery in a modern OR, monitored recovery, and scheduled follow-ups before safe return home.
  • Languages & payments: the public listing does not specify languages or payment methods; your written quote will confirm availability (English/Spanish) and accepted payments (cards/cash/bank transfer) including any fees.
  • Typical stay: many bariatric itineraries plan approximately 4–7 days locally for checks, surgery, and first follow-ups—your surgeon will personalize the timeline to your case.

 

Popular Procedures

 

  • Gastric sleeve: permanently reduces stomach size to lower hunger and food intake.
  • Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y): creates a small pouch and reroutes part of the intestine to limit calories absorbed.
  • Adjustable gastric band: places a removable, adjustable band around the upper stomach to restrict intake.
  • Revision surgery: addresses issues following a prior bariatric operation (for example, weight regain, reflux, or intolerance).

 

Booking & Coordination
 

Request a free quote via Medical Departures. Coordinators will collect your medical history (BMI, comorbidities, prior surgeries), confirm required pre-op tests, share a written treatment plan with inclusions/exclusions, outline payment milestones, and provide a day-by-day itinerary from arrival and consultation through surgery, checks, and discharge.

 

FAQs

 

Which weight-loss surgeries are available?
 

CIBAJO’s bariatric program typically includes sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, and revision surgery; after reviewing your BMI, health history, and goals, the surgeon recommends the safest approach and explains expected hospital nights, milestones, and follow-ups.

 

Do they provide warranties or guarantees on outcomes?
 

Because results depend on your health profile and adherence, formal guarantees are uncommon; ask for written policies covering complication management, revision windows, and included follow-ups, and keep pre- and post-op instructions in writing. Booking through Medical Departures also adds platform support and best-price protection on listed services.

 

Where is the clinic and how do I get there?

 

CIBAJO is in Mexico City; from MEX Airport use an authorized taxi or rideshare (Uber, Didi, Cabify) with typical travel times of 25–50 minutes, and 15–35 minutes from central hotel areas like Polanco, Reforma, Roma/Condesa, and Centro. Your itinerary will include the exact address, entrance, and parking/drop-off guidance.

 

What languages are spoken?
 

The public profile does not specify languages; most Mexico City clinics that serve international patients support English and Spanish. Tell your coordinator your preferred language so interpretation or translated instructions can be arranged.

 

What payment types are accepted?

 

Payment methods are not listed publicly; confirm accepted cards, cash, and/or bank transfer in your written quote, including any processing or foreign exchange fees and deposit/balance dates so funds clear before surgery.

 

What hours should I expect and how long is the local stay?

 

Clinic hours are shared in your confirmed itinerary. Many bariatric travelers remain approximately 4–7 days for pre-op checks, surgery, observation, and the first follow-ups, with exact timing personalized to your procedure and recovery.

 

Who is the surgeon and what are the credentials?
 

The public listing highlights CIBAJO as a Mexico City bariatric program; request the named lead surgeon’s CV (board certifications, society memberships, years in practice) with your quote so you can review training, case volumes, and outcomes before booking.
