I have a lot of information about Dr. Aceves and all of his credentials. It should be in the surgeon forum but if you can't find it, I can email it to you. Just send me a message with your email address.

I had Dr. Aceves, because his record is so good. The hospital is first class, too. I don't know anything about Dr. Kelly, so I can't comment there. I also had some dental work done while I was there - two crowns. I also stayed with a very friendly and helpful Mexican family that charged half the price of a hotel. Email me if you want any particulars on this. - Steve

I would highly recommend Dr Kelly - and work with his personal assistant Trish who will be on the ground in TJ with you during your stay! Have you spoke with Dr Kelly? I would ask to do that if you have not. He speaks perfect English. YeS he is a Christian, so is Trish. They both held my hand and said a prayer with me prior to surgery (my request). I now consider Trish a personal friend and just exchanged emails with her this week! She follows up on my progress periodically.

I am 7 months out ant I am 9.9 lbs from my goal! Love my sleeve and not a single complication. You can read about my experience on my blog page here on VST. If you have additional questions send me a message and I will try to answer what I can! Best wishes on your journey!

her email is <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">smoothgospel@hotmail.esor I can have her call you if you give me your contact info.. name # - you can private message me this if you want.

If you email her please let her know Kim Lemke gave you her email - so she knows how you got her personal email. I would recommend working directly with her if you have not already scheduled. You will love her!

Thank you so much,

Isn't Dr. Aceves Christian as well? I assumed since I read he has a large picture of Jesus with his hand on the surgeon's hand. Anyone know? This would make me feel better since I am Christian as well.

Yeah, and Jesus wasn't wearing gloves or a hair net either. I guess all that bacteria got to go straight to heaven.

Seriously? Would you also poke fun at a Muslim, Jew, or Buddhist's faith?

Sorry, if I offended, Newday. I'm sure that Dr. Aceves is Catholic, but I didn't ask him.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
