Some Aceves Questions



Recommended Posts

Cajun,

The deposit is sent to a P.O. Box in Calexico, CA which is right over the border. A personal check is okay for that. The remaining balance is paid by cashier's/official check or money order when you get there. You can also pay by credit card, however there is a 3% fee for that. I'm assuming it is because it is being charged in Mexico.

Just so you know, some credit card companies charge a fee also, so check with your credit card company to know ahead of time.

Mine doesn't, but I know some do, if they do, it is usually about the same amount. 1-3%

I work as an Accountant and I know on one of our business cards the international transaction fee is 10%. Careful!

I have been wondering about how payment is done. I have heard that mail service in Mexico is very undependable. So do you mail the deposit regular mail?

How do you pay the rest? Does his office accept a personal check or do you have to take cash. I will be nervous carrying a lot of cash around for such a trip.

Will he accept credit card payment?

You mail the check to a PO Box in the US.

You pay the balance the day you have your pre-op tests in the form of a cashier's check. They do accept charge cards; however, they charge an additional fee for the use of them - I think like 3% -- get a cashier's check and you'll be safe. We've done it that way 2 times -- once for my surgery, once for Bearded's. As for the deposit, they will take a personal check.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
