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?

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

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?

      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! 😞
