Dr. Aceves mexicali mexico



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so my mom is looking to have her lap band removed and get the sleeve like I did on the 10th. Problem is her insurance excludes the revision. We had the most horrible dr originally for our lap band 5yrs ago and were self pay, Felix Speigel. I don't want my mom going to another chop shop like him and my doctor would be wicked expensive.

I've read a lot of posts referring to a Dr Aceves in Mexico. If you've used him or know someone who has would you mind telling me your story, good/bad/ugly and if you would or would not recommend going to Mexico for the revision. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. I am afraid of losing my mom and my son to miss out of time with his Grammy.

I just got home yesterday from having sleve done with Aceves. I can't say enough good things. There was another lady there who had just had a revision and was doing amazingly well. I had the pleasure if talking with her and she is highly educated, spent a lot of time researching and was thrilled with her results. If you private message me I will see if she fill vontact you hirectly if interested. I know that during my research he has been praised for being the best at revisions. He's cautious and gives you extra home at thd hospital to recover. He has performed a lot of revisions and that's why you read so much, many doctors refuse to mess with it. Do your research and it will give you the piece of mind you need.

Dr. Aceves did both my band and my revision surgeries. I've been to Mexicali 4 times. He's the BEST out there. Message me with any questions!!

He did my sleeve on the 10th he and his staff are awesome. I think I got better care there than I have in the U.S for prior surgeries.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
