Almanza Reyes

The surgery / recovery aside it looks like the experience with Dr. Reyes is very safe in general. With the escorts throughout your stay. Is the same true for Dr. Aceves?

Also, I have been unable to find a site for Dr. Aceves that lists how many days in the hospital will be required and if you are placed in a private hotel room for some of your stay. Is hotel included in the package? I cannot seem to find any pricing information about Dr. Aceves.

Thanks again for all your help.

dinner.

The hospital room was immaculate as Rosebud mentioned. I believe that housekeeping came into the room about 3x a day to mop etc. My hubby is 6'1 and managed to sleep quite comfortably on the leather sofa in the room.

Towels etc were provided for the shower.

So everything except for companion food and last supper is covered by his fee. I don't know what the charge would be for an extra night.

You did ask if you your stay at the Lucerna Resort the night before surgery is included and yes, it is.

Somebody should move these posts out of Dr. Almanza'a thread. Dr. Aceves deserves his own thread, not intermingled with Dr. Almanza's thread.

I think he has a special now for $8750. That is what I paid as well.

I was worried about how I would find where to go but being picked up at the airport and dropped off there is awesome news. I understand from your post that you spend one night at a hotel and the entire trip is about 5 days. Barring any complications that is. If you need to stay an extra day is that charged separately?

I'm 99% sure he would not have charged for the extra day. He found a hiatal hernia in both myself and my sister and didn't charge extra for the repair.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
