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.

      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.
