International FAQ

Common questions before your consultation

Quick answers to what international patients ask most often. Anything specific to your case — we cover it in the virtual consultation.

Is the virtual consultation free?
No. The consultation is a paid, private session with the surgeon — not a sales call. The fee is credited back to your surgical package if you decide to move forward with surgery at GOG.
How long do I need to stay in Bogotá?
Most international patients stay 5 to 7 nights total: 1 night in hospital after surgery (included in the surgical package) and 3 to 5 nights at a partner hotel during initial recovery (hotel cost is separate and not included in the package). We coordinate transfers and accommodation booking with companion rates available.
What is included in the all-inclusive package?
Surgeon fees, anesthesia, hospital stay (1 night), pre-op labs and imaging, all post-op meds for hospital stay, multidisciplinary consults (nutrition, psychology, internal medicine) and the 12-month remote follow-up. Flights and hotel are separate, though we coordinate booking.
Do I need a visa to travel to Colombia?
Citizens of the US, UK, Canada, EU, Australia and most Latin American countries enter Colombia visa-free for up to 90 days. We send a customized travel checklist after your consultation.
How is the 12-month follow-up handled remotely?
Scheduled virtual consults at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 with the bariatric surgeon and the multidisciplinary team. Includes nutrition plans, behavior support and labs review using a local provider in your country.
What payment methods do you accept?
International wire transfer, credit card (with processing fee) and select medical financing partners for US and Canadian patients. Full pricing details are shared during your consultation.
