My husband and I had our surgery on May 28. 2009 in Mexicali, Mexico. We had Dr. Aceves and his assistant, Dr. Campos. They were GREAT!!! We cannot say enough about this Doctor and the hospital along with the staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Aceves and his team. The area was pretty nice too and so was the hotel we were in the night before surgery, probably a 4 star or so. Everything was included in our package, except airfare and our last dinner the night before surgery. We paid $6950.00 each, but I have seen on this website (on the right side w/ advertisements) a special price of $6500.00. They are a little more expensive than some Doctors in Tijuana, but totally worth it. For more info. see my introduction and other posts or just ask me any questions you have.

I would love to speak with you about my experience in Mexico. My mom and I were banded this past March 30th by Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana. It was a great experience. Everything was as easy as they said it would be. The transportation was nice and the driver a sweetheart. The hotel was very nice and the staff amazing. The clinic and surgery experience went quickly and smoothly, better than any experience in the US thus far. Everything was clean. Everyone was nice. I still call the Dr's there for help and they are very helpful and genuinely concerned about me and wanting me to reach my goal. I am 29 and have lost 50.6 since March. My mom is 52 and has other health issues but she has lost 28 (I think) since surgery. Email me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. I wish I would have had someone to speak with prior to my surgery to set my mind at ease.

I had surgery in Monterrey, Mexico. Dr. Flores. Last time I saw him he was on his way to Miami to teach Bariatric doctors there how to do the procedure. He did his specialization in UT Health Science Center and has often fixed other doctor's problems. Also, my wife's uncle who owns a hospital in Monterrey recommended him. Here is a website where you can take a look. The only problem is I don't know how good his english is. I've always spoken to him in Spanish. "Centro de atenci

Let me know how it goes and what do you think. I am starting to think about going to Mexico to get it done but I am just really scared.

I am one week post op and things went very well. The hospital was clean & modern, the hotel was lovely.

the only funky thing was the pick up and drop off- the van driver was an idiot, stopping at McDonalds for himself. WTH? and dropping us off way too early.

I thought Dr. Kuri & his team were very good. People tend to gush and rave about their weightloss docs, and I am not that type. I paid and I expected good service, and got it. Very simple.

I would recommend him to a friend. I had my mother go with me, and I did think that was helpful, had I felt crummy- I felt ok, but it was nice to have company

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
