After years of trying to manage her weight without lasting success, Jennifer started researching bariatric surgery, but the cost in Seattle put it out of reach. Through ElectiveCare she connected with Dr. Carlos Méndez, a bariatric surgeon in Tijuana who has performed thousands of weight-loss procedures.
What stood out to Jennifer was how personal the process felt -- Dr. Méndez spent real time understanding her health history and goals before recommending gastric sleeve surgery, and his team followed up consistently in the weeks after her procedure, not just during her stay in Tijuana.
Jennifer traveled home shortly after surgery to continue her recovery, checking in regularly with the clinic as she adjusted to her new diet. A year on, she credits the personalized attention -- not just the lower cost -- with making the whole experience feel safe and worth it.
