I sent an email to his office yesterday and still have not heard back. I am trying to decide who to go to for the sleeve. does anyone know if it usually takes a while to hear back from his office? or his pricing?

thanks

sweatinitout....ust so you know i did the same recently. by the next day i was to impatient to wait for their call and called the 1-888 number. i spoke to monica one of the coordinators. she said that their normal price is 9500. but they are currently having a special and if you book in feb for a march surgical date the cost is 8750. good luck. i am still deciding and will not go until august if that is my decision. hope this helps. kelly

I too would say call the 800-number, before I had my surgery

with Dr. Aceves and would send an email it seems like it did take

a day or two for them to respond, I would call.

I paid $8750 in January.

Good luck

dr aceves and his staff are great, you won't regret it....my experience with him and his staff was great.....you should try, it'll all be worth it. goodluck and wish you the best!!!

I had the 8750 price in September. And I agree, his program is outstanding...he's more qualified than most of the surgeons I researched, except for Cirangle and Jossart in SF, who charge twice as much.

I have corresponded with Nina and she ALWAYS gets back to me right away. I'm looking at June if my insurance does not come through for me. When I talked to them it was 8,750.

I was going to go with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta, he charges 10,000 for the VGS and $500 for insurance if you have complications while in PV. I have seen some good things on her about Dr. Aceves, anyone have a good or bad recommendation?

Notsofluffy,

I have heard good things about both Doctors, but I chose Dr. Aceves because of

him having more than 700 VSG surgeries without a leak. I also could not find anyone

that had anything bad to say about him, his staff or the Hospital. I check on-line and

also was able to talk to people from my area that had used him for Lap-band surgeries.

All spoke highly of him and his staff. I also liked the fact that Dr. Aceves keeps you in

a Hospital where he and Dr. Campos both check on you three times a day. I paid $8750

for my surgery.

You have to make your mind up which will do the best job for you and I'm sure both Doctors

do great job. This is just what made me choose Dr. Aceves and why I would go back to him

in a heartbeat.

Good Luck on your journey.

Anything else I can help with please let me know.
