    Dr. Aceves in Mexicali?

    Dr.A and his staff are the BEST in my book.I had my surgery in June of '06 and went back the first part of March with my cousin and a co-worker.They both loved their experiences!And had I a BLAST just getting back to see everyone!I had my band adjusted while we were there and they made sure I got a liquid tray when they brought my cousins.I am almost 2 yrs out and have lost 172 lbs.I went from a VERY tight 26W to a 10.Any one looking to be banded by Dr.A will be extremely happy with their decision.
  3. You will be pleased with Dr. Aceves. I had my surgery in June of 06 and have lost 167lbs. I am going March 10th with my cousin and a co-worker who both are being banded by him.Also my mom,another cousin,and 2 friends have been banded by Dr.A. All with no problems! GOOD LUCK to the both of you!

    Fill Drs. in LA or MS

    No he doesn't use floro..I don't like that,but i just can't afford to pay Dr. Hugh's $610 plus gas to get there..I am about 3 hrs. from Nashville and Jackson,MS.. The dr. in Jackson's name is Dr. Carroll I just had my 1st fill so hopfully it will be a while before i need another one...I might be able to afford that later..As of right now i'm unemployed..I go back to work on the 28th of this month..I drive a preschool bus...Sorry to ramble...LOL..have a good night

    Fill Drs. in LA or MS

    It didn't turn out to be much cheaper.(in the long run)..We paid $231.00 r/t for the plane tickets,$25.00 for the rental car,but what got us was finding a hotel for the night..it cost us $127.00 for the night in San Diego..But we did find a Dr. in Jackson,MS that charges $200. per fill w/o fluro..
