I kinda thought the same thing at first, so I found someone on this board that was from my area and contacted them directly. She had gone to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali and really helped be believe that it was real! I finally called and talked to Nina at Dr. Aceves office and it made all the difference for me! I am almost 7 week out and doing great! I would not trade my trip to Mexico for anything! It was great! Hope your wife can learn to support you.

I had surgery on Nov 29th with Dr. Aceves, my mom went with me and stayed in the room. I couldn't imagine her not staying with me. They have a nice cafeteria where she ate everyday. It really worked out perfect because she was there to help do whatever. We went walking the halls and outside a few times, it was a little cold when I was there. It was a great experience. I am almost 7 weeks out and I am down 46 pounds since the day of surgery, no complications. I have followed Dr. Aceves' post op instructions to the letter! Good Luck! You will do great!

Count me in! Weight today is 284. Would love to loose 54 by April 13! We can do this!!!!

I was sleeved on 11/29 and I just started eating mushies yesterday. So for the past two weeks I have had a Protein shake for breakfst, some soup for lunch, protein shake for and afternoon snack and maybe some soup for dinner (if I felt I could hold it). And lots of Water, maybe some Propel Zero. Yesterday I had my first egg and couldn't eat the whole thing. Last night I had some Pintos and cheese from Taco Bell, it was really good, I only ate maybe 1/3 of it. I think I am afraid to eat to much!

I was there on Nov. 29, 2011. My cell phone worked great, no international charges. My mom went with me and hers worked good too. Dr. Aceves will call someone after surgery for you. The hospital is the cleanest I have ever been in, and it is literally one block from the border. You can see the fence from the hospital. You will do great, Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos check on you about 3 or 4 times a day along with other docs. The nurses are great, they don't speak much english, but they will try their best to figure out what you are asking. You will be in great hands! Good Luck!

You are doing great! you should be very proud of yourself! Congrats!

I went to Dr. Aceves on Nov. 29, 2011 in Mexicali. Everything was wonderful! Can't say enough good about him, Dr. Campos and their team!

Well it has officially been one week since my sleve surgery! I have been so lucky with the ease of this whole process. Dr. Aceves and his team were wonderful. I had no gas pain and very little pain at my incisions. The worst part so far was trying to choke down the nasty blue stuff for the leak test! I am still on Clear liquids for a few more days. I am doing my best to get all the liquids and Protein in, it seems to get easier every day. I have been very lucky! The best news is that as of this morning I have lost 21 pounds since surgery! I could not believe my eyes! I am so so so glad to finally be on that damn loser's bench!
