Ultra Safe: Bariatric surgical Packages in Colombia
The ideal surgical package for your bariatric surgery
We provide written confirmation that your bariatric surgeon is accredited by IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders), the same accreditation held by surgeons in the U.S., as well as by ACOCIB (Colombian Association of Obesity and Bariatric Surgery) in Colombia.
1. Why Colombia?
Because Colombia was a pioneer in bariatric surgery in Central and South America, and with U.S. dollars, you get the best Quality-Cost-Benefit ratio.
2- Senior Surgeon with 20+ Years of Experience
Because we’ll make sure your surgeon is one of those pioneering masters of bariatric surgery — with over 20 years of experience, all the certifications, and thousands of successful procedures — potentially surpassing even your top bariatric surgeon in the U.S. in expertise.
3. Joint Commission International Accredited Clinic:
Your package includes care at one of the safest clinics — a JCI-accredited facility with the same level of safety, quality, and comfort as the Mayo Clinic in the United States.
4. The Safest Package
Premium protection with insurance coverage before, during, and after your surgery, including:
- Intraoperative events
- Complications, even if you’re already back in your home country
- Travel group policies covering up to USD 5,000,000
5. Support, Safety & Comfort

“You’ll never be alone.”

Experience Comparison: U.S. Bariatric Surgeons VS your Senior Guíavital surgeon
An academic study from the renowned Annals of Surgery, hosted on PubMed Central, based on data from the prestigious LABS Study, reveals that the majority of bariatric surgeons in the United States perform fewer than 100 procedures per year.
In this study — The Relationship between Surgeon Volume and Adverse Outcomes after RYGB in the LABS Study — surgeons were classified by annual volume as follows:
Low: fewer than 50 surgeries per year
Medium: between 50 and 99 surgeries per year
High: 100 or more surgeries per year
Although the study focused on gastric bypass, it reflects a clear trend: even the highest-volume surgeons in the U.S. rarely exceed 100 surgeries per year, accumulating at most about 1,400 procedures over 15 years.
In contrast, a Senior Surgeon at Guíavital performs between 200 and 300 bariatric procedures annually over nearly 20 years, totaling between 3,000 and 5,000 surgeries in the same period.
This means that your Senior Guíavital surgeon could double the experience and case load of the average U.S. surgeon. In conclusion, with us, your chances of success are higher than what you might expect even in the U.S.
