Meet Dr. Verboonen
Dr. Verboonen is a pioneer in the world of bariatric surgery. He has been performing weight loss procedures for over 28 years, and he is certified by multiple bariatric boards.
Our chief surgeon is a distinguished teacher, collaborator, and member of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country, and he has co-authored bariatric surgery textbooks that are used internationally. He is consistently recognized as one of the most distinguished bariatric surgeons in Mexico and throughout the world.
Dr. Verboonen has performed and mastered every bariatric procedure. In particular, he has devoted himself to perfecting the mini gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy procedures.
Featured Bariatric Procedures
Any bariatric procedure has the potential to result in radical weight loss and to alleviate or cure serious health concerns like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea. When you consult with the expert bariatric surgeons of VBariatric, we will help you decide which procedure is right for you.
Single Incision Gastric Sleeve
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery, or SILS, is one of the newest laparoscopic techniques. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, this minimally invasive procedure is essentially scarless because the incision is hidden within the belly button. In general, the SILS technique takes about the same amount of time to complete as traditional laparoscopic bariatric surgeries, but patients may experience decreased pain and a shorter recovery period. The procedure is typically recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 to 39.
Gastric Sleeve
Also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, vertical gastroplasty, or sleeve gastroplasty, gastric sleeve surgery is another safe and highly successful option to help patients with morbid obesity. Most individuals with a BMI above 40 are good candidates for this weight loss procedure. Normally, gastric sleeve surgery takes between two and three hours to complete, but thanks to extensive training, our bariatric surgeons are often able to successfully complete the surgery in 50 to 60 minutes.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A mini gastric bypass is a restrictive and malabsorptive surgery that limits how much you can eat and changes the way that you process your food. Mini gastric bypass surgery is very similar to traditional gastric bypass surgery. However, instead of rerouting the digestive system at two locations, it requires only one reconnection. This surgery is suitable for most patients with a BMI of 35 to 60.
Revision Weight Loss Surgery
If you failed to see results after weight loss surgery, you may be a good candidate for a revision or conversion surgery at our Tijuana, Mexico, practice. The bariatric surgeons of VBariatric are experienced in many kinds of revisions, including converting a LAP-BAND® procedure into a sleeve gastrectomy.
Gastric Sleeve and Single Incision Gastric Sleeve Performed by Dr. Verboonen in Tijuana, Mexico

Our affordability and track record for safety speak for themselves, with more than 20,000 happy patients from the U.S., Canada, and many other countries around the world.

"This place has outstanding service, everyone I came in contact with was so helpful and friendly. Starting with my phone call to setup my initial consult which they did at no cost to make sure I wasn't paying anything before I decided to start a program. Dr. Verboonen is certainly the right doctor for the his clinic after my detailed consultation they narrowed down to a few programs that made sense for my lifestyle.
