I has surgery with Dr Aceves in Monterrey. I can't say enought good things about my experience. The night prior to surgery in a beautful hotel and 3 nights after surgery in a cleaner-than-clean hospital. Cost was $8750 and worth every penny. Feel free to ask any questions about my experience here or by PM.

I was self pay mine has a clause no bariatric surgery. I went to Valley Baptist and Dr Hilmy because they have a better price on the sleeve. $8500 . Another MD had the band at 14,000.

I've heard really good things about them but apparently I am not a candidate for it because my BMI is not over 40....do you know if your Dr does sleeves for patients like me? i really want to leave going to Mexico as my very last option :S

Idk remember my BMI and my start weight with Dr Hilmy was 223. I had already started my own diet. I have about 57 more lbs to go. My goal wgt is 140 to 145. Just in case some one is checking I DO NOT WORK WITH VBMC WGT LOSS PROGRAM OR DR HILMY. I can give you their phone number and an e-mail if you have questions.

      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.
