Hello -

I know that Dr. Arellano and Dr. Aceves were once a team. I see a lot of comments on Dr. Aceves but not Dr. Arellano.

Can anyone tell me if they looked into each of these surgeons, and why you chose one over the other for gastric sleeve?

They both practice in Mexicali.

Thank you. :)

I'm am very excited to go to Dr Aceves next Friday! I did a lot of research not only on number of surgeries, but on complications, after care and real results. Dr Aceves does a lot of sleeve revisions from doctors who don't quite do it right and peoples stomachs stretch a lot. I was he very encouraged by the number of people who not only got down to their moderate goal weight but even below it and had to learn how to stop losing weight because it was done so well. I'm very excited and feel totally comfortable. The fee is $8750 and includes a night in the hotel and 3 nights in the hospital and transportation to and from the San Diego airport.

I would love Dr. Ramos Kelly's info.  I have submitted the information request form on wlsclinic.com and sent an email to wlsclinic@outlook.co but no one has gotten back to me.

Came back from surgery. Was a great experience. Dr Aceves spent an hour talking with us the day before the surgery. He did 3 leak tests of different kinds which I really like, and sent me home with the barium x-rays of my new tummy! If you want a good sleeve, I highly recommend him.

Teetering between Ortiz or Ponce De Leon/Dr. verboonen. Anyone had sleeve surgery with any of these 3 surgeons?, good outcomes?

I am in Orlando and I bet the flight will be a killer coming back!!  my band slipped last year. I had great results with Labband for 10 years but band slipped mid last year, and I started packing on the pounds rapidly. Had band taken out . now ready for sleeve... contemplating sleeve in Tijuana!

Best advice??

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
