A+ for Doctor Alberto Aceves in Mexico.



Recommended Posts

A+ for Dr. Alberto Aceves and his staff in Calexico, Mexico. I had my surgery with Dr. Aceves on August the 30th and everything was wonderful. When I arrived the patient coordinator Yolonda had all of my pre-op test lined up and ready. Then after all of my test were complete I met with Dr. Aceves and he explained everything about the surgery the before and after and answered any question I had. Then from there it was to the "Lucerna" the hotel where I stayed the night before the surgery. The hotel was very nice and had 3 restaurants there I had my "last supper", so to speak. Later on Dr. Campos came in and showed the band and went into detail about the band and the surgery. The next day I went for surgery, I was the first patient that day. I went in about 10:00am and I was up and walking around a little after 12:00pm. I don't remember anything from the surgery and Dr. Aceves also fixed a Hiatal Hernia that I didn't even know I had. The nursing staff was so helpful and right on time with my meds 24/7. Everyone was so nice and the hospital was clean and well maintained. Dr. Campos also recommended a Dentist for me on Sunday, Dr. Roberto and Dr.Laura. They too did a wonderful job on my teeth for a inexpensive price. I was so pleased by everything and if you have any doubts about Dr. Aceves I'm here to tell you, you don't have to worry about a thing. One more thing I went by myself to Mexico and everything was well....I cant say enough about how good the care was, the surgery and the Denistry.....A++.:)

He is a great doctor! I have heard nothing but good things about his hospital too. My friend got the sleeve on Friday the 5th and she said all the same things you did. I may have him remove my band some day and get the sleeve.

I am not at this point having my band removed. If I were to have trouble, I would get a sleeve. There are a lot of people having trouble with reflux

or all of a sudden, they have no restriction and can't find restriction again. These are signs of problems with the band. Thank goodness, I don't have these problems.

      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.
