Deposit and Booking For Your Treatment
- A security deposit of $200 USD is required to be paid to Monterrey Gastro and Bariatric Group (MGBG) in order to schedule and to secure your appointments and reservations needed for the medical procedure.
- The security deposit may be waived by providing flight confirmations for scheduled patient(s).
Payment Information
- Final pricing for any weight loss procedure provided by the MGBG will be given in Mexican pesos. Any pricing given in United States dollars is only an estimate, and is subject to change due to exchange rate fluctuations.
- Cash Payments: If you pay for your weight loss procedure in United States dollars, MGBG will convert the agreed price from Mexican pesos to United States dollars by using the official exchange rate from MGBG’s banking institution on the day of payment.
- Wire Transfers: If the patient chooses to pay via a wire transfer, the wire transfer must be completed before any pre-operative services are rendered. It is important that the patient consults with his or her banking institution to learn how fast international wire transfers to Mexican banking institutions can be processed. For further instructions, the patient should consult with the Patient Coordinator.
- Insurance: US insurance usually doesn’t cover these type of surgeries in Mexico, the patient will most likely pay out of pocket.
Cancellations, Postponement, and Refunds
- If a procedure is CANCELLED or POSTPONED due to a medical condition discovered during the pre-operative period, or if it’s determined that the operation cannot proceed due to safety reasons, or if a patient failed to follow the pre-operative instructions given by the medical staff, a full refund for any payment made to MGBG towards the surgery package will be reimbursed minus any costs incurred by MGBG, included but not limited to transportation, hotel accommodations, pre-operative test(s), consultations fees, and any card processing fees.

- If a client POSTPONES the surgery within 15 days or less before the original surgery date, for any reason, any security deposit made to MGBG towards the surgery package will be used as credit towards a future surgery.
