Publishing & ownership relationships
SleeveTijuana.com is published as an educational resource affiliated with Obesity Control Center (OCC) and the broader Ariel Center network of bariatric, metabolic, and reconstructive patient-education websites. Some cross-linked resources share common publishing or editorial oversight. Cross-links do not constitute an endorsement, referral fee arrangement, or a recommendation for treatment.
Editorial standards
- Content is written for patient education, not for medical diagnosis or treatment.
- Claims about procedures, outcomes, and safety cite peer-reviewed literature, professional-society guidance, or the program's own published data.
- Cost, timeline, and program-specific information is presented as ranges and typical scenarios, not guarantees.
- We do not use language such as "cheapest," "guaranteed results," "risk-free," or "best deal."
Medical-review process
Clinical content is reviewed by a bariatric surgeon and updated on a scheduled cycle. Medical review confirms that educational content reflects current bariatric and metabolic surgery practice; it is not a substitute for an individual medical evaluation.
How related links are selected

- Outdated or replaced domains are removed and updated to their current equivalents.
Not a treatment recommendation
Cross-links to related educational resources do not constitute a recommendation for a specific procedure, medication, or provider. Candidacy for any medical, surgical, endoscopic, or medication-based treatment must be determined by a qualified healthcare professional after an individual evaluation.
