The Weightloss PV Obesity Center is not a surgery clinic — it is a comprehensive, evidence-based obesity treatment program built around the understanding that obesity is a complex, chronic disease. Surgical intervention is one tool in a much larger care model that includes clinical nutrition, behavioral health, metabolic medicine, and structured long-term follow-up.
Our team brings together board-certified bariatric surgeons, registered bariatric dietitians, licensed clinical psychologists, endocrinologists, and a dedicated international patient coordination team. Every patient receives a full multidisciplinary evaluation before any treatment decision is made — surgical or otherwise.
Our center operates across two locations serving the greater Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit area, with all surgical procedures performed at Hospital Joya de Riviera Nayarit. Follow-up visits, nutrition consultations, and psychological support can be conducted in person or via secure video consultation — making our program fully accessible to international patients after they return home.
Full bariatric surgical evaluation, pre-op optimization, surgery by board-certified surgeons, and a structured 12-month post-operative follow-up program. Procedures include gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini bypass, and revisional surgery.
Individualized nutritional counseling by registered bariatric dietitians — covering pre-op diet optimization, post-op dietary phases, macronutrient rebalancing, supplement protocols, and long-term eating pattern coaching.
Licensed psychologists specializing in bariatric patients provide psychological evaluations (required pre-op), emotional eating assessment, body image counseling, and cognitive-behavioral support for lasting lifestyle change.
Endocrinologists and internists manage diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, PCOS, and thyroid conditions alongside the surgical team — optimizing metabolic health before and after surgery.
Physical therapists and certified fitness specialists design safe, phase-appropriate exercise plans for every stage of recovery — from day-3 walking protocols to 3-month strength training programs.
Dedicated coordinators manage everything for international patients: pre-arrival planning, travel support, translation, hotel coordination, insurance queries, and post-discharge follow-up scheduling.
We do not shame, judge, or pressure. Our team understands the emotional and physiological complexity of obesity.
Every protocol we use — surgical or non-surgical — is grounded in peer-reviewed clinical evidence and ASMBS guidelines.
We are not a surgery-and-goodbye program. Our 12-month follow-up is standard, not optional, for every surgical patient.
No patient proceeds to surgery without clearance from our entire multidisciplinary team — surgeon, dietitian, and psychologist.
Meet your patient coordinator and discuss your goals, medical history, and which program paths are right for you.
Complete workup with our surgeon, dietitian, and psychologist — blood labs, imaging, cardiac clearance, and behavioral screening.
Your team presents a written treatment plan with surgical and non-surgical options, timeline, costs, and expected outcomes.
For surgical patients: pre-op preparation, travel planning, hospital admission, and procedure at Hospital Joya.
Remote and in-person check-ins with your entire team — dietitian, psychologist, and surgeon — at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-op.
