My Mexicalli Experience!

[moonrisen 44]

Wow!! I just wanted to take a moment now that I'm officially on the losers bench to share my experience with Dr Aceves and his staff.... Wonderful is the only word I can find!! The entire experience felt like going to a spa!!

From beginning to end it was quick efficient and organized. From emails and phone calls with the coordinator Nina to the driver Ramon!

I was always escorted everywhere ... Anything my friend that went with me needed was seen to... Like she wanted her teeth cleaned... Yolanda... Ninas mom set it up!! The doctors come in three times a day! The housekeepers clean constantly and clean your room three times a day!

Almater hospital is a small efficient private clean hospital filled with really nice nurses and every staff that even passed me in the hallways always smiled and greeted me warmly!

I have been in USA hospitals as a nurse for 32 yrs and know good care.... This was a fabulous experience!

I highly recommend Dr Aceves !

The lucerna hotel we stayed at the night before surgery was so beautiful! And excellent service!

Also!!! Dr Aceves does 5 yrs of follow ups on all his pts!!

And the hospital chicken broth after you pass your 2nd leak test is homemade and so delicious!! I'm missing it today!! Lol!!

sounds awesome! i'm very happy that you had such a wonderful experience! makes it sound like a vacation, not surgery! LOL

[moonrisen 44]

Both my best friend and I said it did feel like a vacation instead if a surgery!! I was so well taken care of!! Every detail attended to!

I like that Dr Aceves has his own floor of the hospital so all the nurses know what they are doing! I like that they keep you in the hospital for three days and make sure every thing is as it should be... Then dc us on day 4 !

It was a wonderful experience!!

dr Aceves is warm and kind... Dr Campos works with him and has had the VSG... So he is a fabulous resource !!

hi, i'm 6mo post op down 80lbs only 6lbs to goal and i feel perfect

and i'm actually considering a new lower goal weight, i want to lose as much as i can until i feel thin, i guess that's my new goal wherever that weight is.

this tool is amazing and it only gets better everyday

now i'm getting a ton of compliments and atencion and it feels really good

i get a lots of cute and skinny and it never gets old

but i don't feel skinny just yet

Hi Allie!!

Hi so ready !

I am not familiar with dr verbonen but if it is anything near as organized and efficient as

dr Aceves... You will be thrllled!!

dr Aceves is so knowledgeable and kind .. I could not have had a better experience anywhere!

His staff all were hugging me when I left...

I feel I made lifelong friends!!

[moonrisen 44]

Another Aceves fan here! Sleeved 5/21. Down 55 lbs in 3.5 mos from surgery weight of 250 (5'7"). Went to Mexicali by myself and couldn't have been a better experience!

[moonrisen 44]

Hi gs4me!!

I was amazed how organized their outfit was!!

I'm happy to hear your success also!! Congrats!!

[ready2bskinny 31]

Oh dear this is making my decision even harder Dr Garcia is who I'm considering..anybody willing to give me info on Dr Aceves as far as price, follow up care and how long the process and or stay is is really appreciate it!!

Great job on all the weight loss best wishes to you all;)

[moonrisen 44]

All I can recommend ready2 b is to research the doctors and talk to their coordinators and former pts.... For me... I wanted to be in a real hospital not a recovery house and clinic and transported back and forth daily for the leak tests ... Dr Aceves for me was an excellent choice .... Good luck on your journey!! Feel free to PM me!

with dr aceves you stay in an amazing hospital with big private rooms

there's wifi and a big tv in your room, everything is super clean and new

the nurses and staff are super sweet and helpful

you stay 3 nights and 4 days, you leave the 4th day morning

they do 2 leaks teast and take your drain out before you leave

i had my surgery on monday and was at the mall shopping all day saturday
