There is an entire section on VSG in Mexico as well as do a search "Dr. Aceves" and you can read many people's experiences.

I Luv dr Aceves, I had surgery June 30, 2012 with him and I'm at my goal now, it was a great experience, great drs, great hospital & great nurses and I would recommend him to everyone. I'm in Northern California and after surgery he gave me all my X-ray OR reports to bring home for my PCP it was great.

I had my sleeve done by Dr Aceves. I am 8 weeks post op today and down 63.5 pounds. The experience was fabulous and I would do it again with him as my surgeon if I had to. The hospital was clean, communication was easy and the care was very attentive. Pm me if you want any advice or info. I'm actually going back to him end of April to accompany my aunt for her sleeve. She came with me in January when I got mine and she liked the whole process so much she booked her own! Good luck with making your decision

      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.
