Anyone Going To Aceves In Dec?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm a newbie here :-) Not quite sure how this works. But I was wondering who is planning to have surgery with Dr. Alberto Aceves? And if anyone will be there around Dec. 4th?

Hi! Just wanted to say that when i went I only knew one person from this site (my surgery sister FRZA) but there were several people already there in different stages of recovery. So don't worry too much if no one says they are going, you are sure to find other people there. One person knew we were going by reading this forum but didn't post about it. We met her at the airport.

Oh ok! Good :-) Thanks! I'm super excited. Just thought it would be cool to talk with people on the same journey. I saw some of your posts. You were very pleased with Aceves right? I have a friend at my church who recommended him. He couldn't say enough wonderful things about him, his staff, or the hospital. Of course now that I'm doing so much research, I keep seeing Alvarez's name pop up everywhere and I wonder. But! I paid the deposit, booked the flights, and the surgery, so it's happening now :-)

I sure will ;-) ... BTW ... I think both Dr. Aceves and Dr. Alvarez are really great doctors and you can't go wrong with either of them. I simply choose Dr Aceves, because I liked the 3 night stay in the hospital better and the sx date that came available worked great with my schedule ...

I like Dr. Alvarez's website and statistics. He's done a lot of sleeves successfully. I downloaded his book today and am reading it. I like Dr. Aceves because his staff is so nice and he and the hospital come highly recommended. But I'm booked with Aceves, just having second thoughts and looking at Alvarez. Has anyone else done this once booked? Am I the only surgeon hopper?

I just had my surgery 9 days ago with Dr Aceves in Mexicali, I really feel good, as Dr Aceves told me next day of my surgery "it seems that You had no surgery, you look happy"... I had no pain, the staff was really nice. Its hard spend the days only drinking liquids but Im working on it, I hope your experience will be as good as mine.

Thanks for all the responses!! I did decide after researching them both to switch to Alvarez. Nothing against Dr. Aceves, he's awesome I'm sure, but it seemed like Alvarez specialized in the sleeve and has done thousands of procedures. I'm booked for Dec. 3rd with Dr. Alvarez :-) I'm psyched!!

      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.
