I dont know what doctor to choose , who is the best , what Mexico city is the best to travel to ? Can someone please help me ! I need some advice .....which doctor to choose, which doctor works out of hospitals . Also there are price differences 5000- 9000 , if I choose the one that cost more do I get better service?

All I want is to pick a good doctor for the best price in a clean hospital. PLEASE HELP ME

I went to Dr Aceves in Mexicali. I was extremely pleased with the care I received. The hospital was extemely clean and was continuously being cleaned to keep it that way. The area of Mexico seemed safe. My husband and I went on a walk the night before the surgery. My mother in law and a friend have also had surgery with Dr Aceves. My surgery was this past December, my friend's was last summer and my mother in law's was in October of 2009. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Hope this info helps!

I wish you the best. I am so happy after getting rid of my band and getting the sleeve. I did the opposite. I had my band In Mexico and then had my sleeve here since my insurance took off the exclusion. You will do fine in Mexico. The sleeve is so worth it. A friend of mine used Dr. Alvarez and had a great experience. He even wrote a sleeve book so you might want to look into him as well. He has a Youtube sight with lots of his patient's stories.

There is a reason Dr. Aceves is the surgeon who gave over half the board a sleeve. He is an excellent surgeon and practices out of a clean modern hospital. You will not find one unhappy dr. Aceves patients.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
