CCinINdiana got a reaction from amykins in My Mexicalli Experience!
Another happy Dr. Aceves patient here!! Reading your post made me miss them. It was a wonderful experience (for a surgery LOL) . I brought my partner with me, she brought her x-box and both Docs hung out in our room and played with her LOL They have this process down to a T. The only apprehension I had was after the 2 hour drive there. When I walked in and they handed me the cup to pee in I burst out in tears. Thinking what the hell am I doing in a 3rd world country, having surgery. Fortunately met with the anastesiologist right after that and he put me at total ease. He spent 2 hours talking to us, explaining every single thing. Then met with Dr. Aceves. Very very nice and then I knew 100% I was in not only good hands, but great hands! I am at goal, and haven't had any problems what so ever. I need to update my profile picture to show "my after". I am ready to make a second trip down there to get the girls fixed up. I had heard from someone on here that Dr. Aceves was working with a plastic surgeon? Any one have any information?

Hi There,
I used Dr. Aceves July 2011- while in the hospital I initially got IV pain medication, shots and then liguid tylenol. I was up walking 3 hours after surgery and really had minimal pain (compared to my c-section). I crushed all my pills the first couple of weeks in liquid..it was so gross, After that I swallowed them just fine. I think I could have earlier, but was afraid. I am at goal now having lost over 100lbs. I am truly a food addict, so for me the head hunger has been the hardest. Wanting to eat when I am bored, happy, sad whenever! Using the sleeve correctly really prevents you from over eating, however as I am sure you've read and heard about--if you get in the bad habit of eating slider food then I can see where me or anyone could easily gain the weight back. Good luck with your decision. It has been one of the very best decision of my life!! Cathi
