Weight loss medical tourism expert Kirsten Leonard’s company Trim Up continues to expand its travel options for New Zealanders seeking life-changing surgical procedures.

Kaiapoi, New Zealand - July 27, 2023 /PressCable/ —
Trim Up now offers group or solo tour packages to New Zealanders in dire need of medical procedures like bariatric surgery but are not eligible to access them through New Zealand's public healthcare system. Trim Up was recently the centrepiece of the current affairs show 'Paddy Gower Has Issues' with Gower investigating the high costs of weight loss surgery for Kiwi patients.

Studies have shown that about 35% of New Zealanders are obese, while at the same time, most of them cannot meet the strict requirements to undertake medical procedures such as gastric bypass. Kirsten's expanded travel package emphasises affordability for medical tourism destinations such as Thailand and Mexico.
The expanded travel package includes a complete touring guide where Kirsten helps clients in their entire journey abroad to seek better health outcomes that they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford at home.
In an interview for 'Paddy Gower Has Issues', Kirsten explains that since she had surgery in Tijuana, she realised that many people in New Zealand and Australia could benefit from the lower costs associated with medical tourism, while the care itself is of similar quality.
Kirsten Leonard organises fully escorted overseas trips for clients with medical needs as well as group tours, and her expanded travel package to the Mexico Bariatric Centre in Tijuana is an excellent opportunity for New Zealanders struggling with obesity to access board-certified surgeons at surgical facilities, including the Mexico Bariatric Center and Stop Obesity. Surgeons like Dr Ismael Cabrera perform only three to four surgeries daily, and the lower throughput helps centres, and their patients avoid post-surgery complications caused by rushed procedures.
Kirsten has helped over 150 people make it to Mexico and back and improve their lives - a feat hard to accomplish at home, where surgical interventions for obesity are difficult to access, whether in public or private healthcare.
A satisfied client said: "I inquired with Kirsten about undergoing bariatric surgery in Tijuana. At first, I was sceptical, but she assured me that I was not the only one and that quality medical services could be found at an affordable price. We met up, and she organised everything. Ever since I've come back from Mexico, I have not regretted it one bit."
