Does anyone know, when you self-pay in the U.S., are you still required to meet minimum requirements to qualify for the surgery? You know the BMI, co-morbidites, phsyc, pre-diet, etc... From the research I've been doing, seems Mexico doesn't require these things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I posted the other day indicating that Dr. Aceves website didn't provide any information on VSG. Now I have found another website for him (obtained from FACS), with alot more info. LAP-BAND,laparoscopic banding,bariatric surgery,obesity <<alot detailed info Dr. Alberto Aceves M.D. - Welcome << specific to lapband, but the only one that came up on google search, so I thought that was it for Dr. Aceves.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong website, but Dr Aceves website doesn't discuss anything about the sleeve procedure, only bypass and lapband. Does anyone have a link to this information, specifically from Dr. Aceves? Also what sort of after care do you need when you come home? Can your primary doc do this? Or do you have to find someone specific?
