World-Class Bariatric Surgery • One-Time Solution • 50–70% Savings
Healthcare Reimagined
The Colombia Bariatric connects patients with top internationally accredited hospitals, clinics, and bariatric surgeons in Colombia, offering a safe, affordable, and life-changing alternative to the high cost of bariatric surgery in the US and long-term dependence on weight-loss drugs.
Major clinical studies, including research from NYU Langone Health, show that bariatric surgery delivers up to 5 times greater long-term weight loss compared to medication alone.
Bariatric Surgery Delivers 5X the Weight Loss of GLP-1 Drugs
A recent NYU Langone study compared bariatric surgery with GLP-1 medications:
- Sleeve gastrectomy / gastric bypass: average 26.5% total weight loss
- GLP-1 drugs: average 5.7% total weight loss
- Even the best performer (tirzepatide) averaged just 8.9% after two years
That’s nearly five times greater weight loss with surgery — plus proven long-term remission of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic disease.
Bariatric surgery works because it changes biology — not just appetite.
Millions Tried GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs — And Quit
If you’ve used Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or similar GLP-1 medications, you’re not alone.
Millions stopped because:
- The monthly cost is unsustainable
- Side effects are unpleasant — and sometimes serious
- You must take the drugs for life or the weight comes back
- Even the metabolic benefits fade once you stop
A major Oxford analysis published in the British Medical Journal showed that improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk, and heart health largely disappeared within 1.4 years after stopping GLP-1 drugs.
In other words:
You pay indefinitely — or else ! All that money is lost

FOR HOSPITALS & CLINICS
A New Cash-Pay International Patient Channel
Why Colombia Bariatric Was Created
Hospitals and clinics across Colombia face increasing pressure from:
- EPS reimbursement delays
- Insurance pricing constraints
- Limited access to foreign cash-pay patients
At the same time, bariatric surgery volumes in the U.S. and UK are under pressure as patients temporarily shift to GLP-1 medications—creating a pent-up global demand for a more affordable, permanent surgical solution.
Colombia Bariatric bridges this gap.

Colombia Bariatric is not a broker and does not take a percentage of hospital revenue.
How It Works
- Hospitals set the agreed bariatric surgery package price
- Patients pay the hospital 100% directly and upfront
- Colombia Bariatric does not charge commissions or per-patient fees
- Colombia Bariatric generates revenue from concierge and coordination services
What Colombia Bariatric Delivers to Hospitals & Clinics
- Qualified international patients ready to proceed
- Reduced reliance on EPS and insurance reimbursement
- Higher-margin, predictable cash-pay cases
- Professionally managed international patient experience
- Gradual expansion of medical tourism as a revenue pillar
