annette leyba 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Dear Ruthie, did you get the lapband in Mexicali? Annette To: PRSloan I saw that you made a decision in 2005 did it go well? I have also considered checking him out. annette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prsloan 0 Posted January 23, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annette leyba 0 Posted January 23, 2007 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. aleyba :straight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatgirl 0 Posted January 24, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annette leyba 0 Posted January 24, 2007 I read about $8200.00 on their website. The way I understand it there is a counselor and anesthesiologist in house. You can get more information from their web site. www.dr.aceves.com ? Not sure but you can Google it. aleyba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christy 0 Posted January 28, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
