Did you have Dr. Aceves at Almater Hospital?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery with Dr. aceves same day as SoCal Sleeve. They are top notch professional. They are with you every step of the way. You are never left alone wondering what will happen next. Nina is the one you'll be talking to then you get there and either Karla or Yolanda take you to all your tests. You have a very detailed interview with Dr. Campos he is a former sleever himself and a surgeon and nutritionist, he will explain everything and make you feel most comfortable. The hospital is impeccable the staff is seasoned. You will meet and see Dr. Aceves in the morning before surgery and he himself is wonderful. You have around the clock care and the doctors check on you a few times a day. I still to this day speak with Dr. Campos and Gaby, they follow up with you and check on you almost daily. You won't need much money. dinner is maybe $25. I brought $50 total and it was plenty. I also had a cc just in case. But never used it. I highly recommend Dr. Aceves and his team. They are a bit more expensive but you get the best care and follow up.

I would also like to add that I got an email from Gabby last week that they disected my stomach that was removed and found that I have a bad bacteria in my stomach that needs to be treated. I have been going to the Dr. for years with stomach aches and they never find anything wrong. They sent me a picture of my stomach and the picture of the bacteria with a full write up for me to bring to my doctor.

THat kind of service is well worth paying the extra money for.

I am down 33 lbs at 3 weeks!!!!

Hi everyone, that stupid bacteria is causing gastritis for me which is PAINFUL. I've already finished the antibiotics Dr. Aceves prescribed but they dont seem to have worked, I'll have to drive out and see him probably next week. Anyways my pain started around 5 months out from surgery just an FYI if you feel a painful burning sensation right in your gut (might include backache) go to your Dr. Immediately the pain really hurts.

I had my surgery with Dr Aceves back in September 2012. Great surgeon, great care and great everything. It was and still is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am certain I spent way over his surgery fee in fad diets, diet pills , programs etc over the years of trying to lose weight. I only wish it had been available to do many years ago. But better late then never. I certain you will be pleased with your decision. Take it one day at a time and I hope and pray you encounter no problems and are as thrilled with your results as I am. Good luck tomorrow and all those embarking on their weight loss journeys in the future! ????

      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.
