ahri 16 Posted March 26, 2013 Going to Dr. Aceves solo this summer (June-ish) and wanted to know who else is going! (May be to early to ask but I'm excited)! Anyone else going solo that wants to meet up? What should I look out for? Preparation? 2 AmandaRaeLeo and serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahri 16 Posted March 26, 2013 Yes, he's pretty expensive but I can't think of anyone else I'd entrust my life to other than him. 2 Jesser and serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesser 295 Posted March 26, 2013 Yes' date=' he's pretty expensive but I can't think of anyone else I'd entrust my life to other than him.[/quote'] Right. That's kind of what it all comes down to with me as well. I worry myself to death about everything, and he puts my mind at ease. I don't make a lot of money, but this is something I need to save up for and invest in. I've have yet to read a bad experience from anyone tht has went to him. 1 serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amykins 202 Posted March 26, 2013 I had surgery with Dr Aceves and went alone. There was one person from this forum who went at the same time I did and several others in various stages of recovery. We were all in the same wing. There's a post somewhere in this called Dr Aceves, what to take that really can be used by anyone traveling to Mexico. I will say I had a great experience. I really felt like a VIP the whole time I was there and can't say enough good things about Dr Aceves, Dr Campos, and the rest of the staff. I saved for a long time to have my VSG through him, and I feel it was worth every penny. I lost 75# in five months. I'm sure it was partly due to my snug sleeve. If I can answer any questions, feel free to PM me. 1 serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted March 26, 2013 I am one week and a day sleeved by Dr. Aceves and I really feel I received amazing care, second to none. They were awesome. 2 serenity1959 and amykins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rachel marie 42 Posted March 26, 2013 I too was sleeved by Dr. Aceves, it was an excellent experience! Of course I didn't feel it was too costly, considering its almost 20k in the states. I understand Tiajuana is cheaper, but I was looking for great care at a great price, instead of cheap. 2 serenity1959 and amykins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightingale2u 42 Posted March 27, 2013 I'm having surgery April 1st with Dr. Aceves. I really do feel like I am getting the whole package with Dr. Aceves and his team! Yes... the money aspect was difficult...but having complications would also be financially devastating and I think that his level of skill will give me the best chance to come through without problems with my revision from band to sleeve. I'll look forward to hearing about your experience! 2 amykins and serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too am revising from the band and want someone who really knows what he's doing and it sounds like he is it! I have half of his cost saved and really want to have this done in June. Decisions.

Olivia23 68 Posted April 26, 2013 I cannot decide between Aceves and Garcia, but leaning more towards Aceves because it seems he has more experience and its in a real hospital. I want to go by June 3rd but I haven't even called yet to schedule. I am trying to get my down payment together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a hard decision to make! That's for sure... Especially when money is a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
