I've read alot about Dr. Aceves and was just wondering if anyone had any information about him. I was looking at Mt. Zion and they gave a price and pick u up from the airport and had a place for family to stay and all. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a price range and what it all includes. Thank you!

I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves on Jan 5th. I paid $8775 for my sleeve. This included my pre-op tests (EKG, Xrays and blood work), 1 night in hotel, 3 nights in hospital, surgery and transporation to and from the airport. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you! That answered alot! Does that also include a place for family members to stay or would they need to find their own motel or something?

If you search for 'Aceves' in the search bar on this website, you will get alot more information than you can even think to ask here.

I had a great experience, and during my research I could not find anything negative about him. Yes, you will find stories of negative experiences but when you really read thru them, they are that person's experience and not actually a negative act by the doctor himself. Like reactions to anesthesia or other meds, or pain issues etc. These things were not caused by Dr. Aceves and the person would have easily experienced the problems with any doctor.

I paid $8750, special price. I think regular is $9500. You stay in the hospital 4days/3nights and the doctors see you every day 2-3 times a day. Every room is private with a comfy couch, so if you bring someone they can stay there with you.

Do the search in the forum, the wealth of information is there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
