Also!!! Dr Aceves does 5 yrs of follow ups on all his pts!! And the hospital chicken broth after you pass your 2nd leak test is homemade and so delicious!! I'm missing it today!! Lol!!

Wow!! I just wanted to take a moment now that I'm officially on the losers bench to share my experience with Dr Aceves and his staff.... Wonderful is the only word I can find!! The entire experience felt like going to a spa!! From beginning to end it was quick efficient and organized. From emails and phone calls with the coordinator Nina to the driver Ramon! I was always escorted everywhere ... Anything my friend that went with me needed was seen to... Like she wanted her teeth cleaned... Yolanda... Ninas mom set it up!! The doctors come in three times a day! The housekeepers clean constantly and clean your room three times a day! Almater hospital is a small efficient private clean hospital filled with really nice nurses and every staff that even passed me in the hallways always smiled and greeted me warmly! I have been in USA hospitals as a nurse for 32 yrs and know good care.... This was a fabulous experience! I highly recommend Dr Aceves ! The lucerna hotel we stayed at the night before surgery was so beautiful! And excellent service!

We are headed to the airport to meet Ramon!! Wishing speed bump best of luck!! Wish me luck too!! It's hot hot hot here and in Mexicali!!

Thank you!! I appreciate the response!!

Just wondering?!!

Hi Brady ! I'm also 8.21!! Where are you having yours done?! I'm going to Mexicali with Dr Aceves!!

Thanks Jenn! I chose Dr Aceves because another friend of mine who is also an RN has the vsg 2 yrs ago with him and has lost 200 lbs!! I'm glad you are doing well!!

I did a similar thing... I am a nurse and told some of my peers who really questioned my decision....however... On a positive note I have another nurse friend who two yrs ago went to Dr Aceves and has since lost 200 lbs!!
