I saw that you made a decision in 2005 did it go well? I have also considered checking him out.

Hi,

Yes, I went to Dr. Aceves and he is wonderful...I have had no complications whatsoever.

I have never gotten a fill though - but lost 25 lbs in the first 6 weeks and the band has helped me keep it off.

Good luck to you,

Paula

Sharon. I'm glad evrything went well. I have a few questions for you if that's ok? Is the facility as nice as in the pictures? Is it clean and sanitary? I am leary because it's Mexico. Although I have heard good things I am a big chicken, especially when i will be asleep in a diferent country.

Can I ask the price difference between US and going to Mexico for this? I know my clinic charges about $16,900 for the surgery for those who pay out of pocket. How much does it cost to go down there? I am trying to help a friend (whose insurance does not cover it) find a way.:(

Dr. Aceves and his team did my band -- I'm so happy with everything! It is $8200, $8000 if you drive yourself. Your hotel the night before is paid for, and 2 nights in the hospital after your surgery (I chose to stay only one night.)

Everything is SO SO clean, the nurses are fantastic, all of your doctors come to talk to you about every step of what will happen.

I haven't heard of any of Dr. A's patients having complications, just hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
