alwaysonadiet 47 Posted March 16, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCal Sleeve 78 Posted March 18, 2014 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!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedrosmommy 8 Posted March 19, 2014 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.

Mexicali-gal 5 Posted March 19, 2014 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! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
