Well, I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I'm glad I did!! He doesn't come as inexpensive as the others, but he's worth every penny.

I am booked with Dr.Ramos Kelly and I have heard nothing but good about him and I have done some digging thats for sure . At first I was going to go with Dr. Almanza Reyes but there was just way to many bad things about him for me to be comfortable so I switched. it was just my personal choice there were also lots of happy customers who went to him so it goes both ways. Just do your research and you will find the one you are comfortable with

I agree with both above posts. Dr. Aceves has a great reputation and he has earned it.

I went to Dr. Pompa and agree with Sleeve also. I had a great surgical experience at LIMARP and have no qualms about suggesting the doctor to others.

Ok I'm excited I get sleeved tomorrow. But I have a customer that wants to go to Mexico who should she ask for and where would she go?

I also went with Dr. Aceves....he and his staff are the best. He is very professional and reliable. Ask her to contact Nina, she's the patient coordinator and she'll gladly give you all the necessary information.

If you need any other information please feel free to ask.

Goodluck and wish you the best.:)

Pompa is another excellent choice. I actually spoke with her on the phone while I was doing my Surgeon search. She'd have been my second choice, but was able to come up with enough to have Aceves do my revision. Aceves was more experienced in what I needed to have done.

OP, you will want to look her up too, when you get the chance. :)

Dr. Aceves is where i went after doing 2 years of VSG research. I chose him after looking at my VSG here in the states as well. Do your research and feel comfortable with YOUR decision is the best advise I can tell you.

I was sleeved on Nov. 27th by Dr. Rodriguez too. Fortunately, no complications and I have lost 16 lbs already. Like Lisa said the hospital was very clean and the staff bedside manners were excellent.

I was also sleeved by Dr. Rodriguez. My husband and I both had surgery the same day, actually. He has lost more than me, but that's my only complaint! (Kidding, but why do men always lose faster?!) We both had excellent care, and loved all the doctors in Dr. Rod's group. We have lost weight and feel great. I have heard good things about many Mexican surgeons, but it's good to do some research as well. Good luck to you and your customer getting the sleeve.

I had surgery in Juarez by Dr. Rodriguez (7/1/10). I have had no complications and am down 115 lbs so far. Hospital very clean and also liked Dr. Rod and his staff. From reading here there are several good surgeon choices in Mexico.

I just had my sleeve by Dr. Aceves on Dec 9th ~ I would definitely recommend him and Almater Hospital in Mexicalli. As was said, search/google and the results are all good! Good luck to you!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
