What Mexico Dr. Will Take A Low Gastric Sleeve Bmi Patient?



Recommended Posts

Hey, everyone!!! I'm so happy to have come across this forum. There is such a wealth of information here in everyone's stories and experiences! i gotta question...... what Dr.s in Mexico will take people with a low bmi? I already checked with Kelly. he will do it but his hospital won't approve of it. I know Almanza will do it, but im not too impressed with with the mixed reviews...AT ALL!! Im working with Trish and may go with Ponce. I see that everyone loves Aceves too but will he take a low bmi? Thanks in advance for your responses!!

I went to Dr. Aceves and my BMI was 35.3. I believe some other people were lower.

My BMI is 31 and Dr. Kelly is doing mine. I know a number of people who've been sleeved by Dr. Kelly with BMI's ranging from 30-32. What is your BMI is it lower than 30?

I was sleeved by Dr. Kelly at a BMI of just 30- bordering 29!

There is a woman surgeon at florence Hospital who came to my room 10 minutes prior to surgery to tell me they would not authorize it. I simply signed a form and dr. Kelly still did my surgery. In the event he could not do your surgery there, he does work with other hospitals that will.

Hi,

I highly recommend Dr. Aceves. Please take the time to call at 1-888-344-3916 or send her an E-mail. She is the patient coordinator and she has ALL the answers you are looking for. nina@gastricsleevesurgeon.com

You will not find a better Doctor that Dr. Aceves and his entire staff. He is the top of the line doctor who really cares about his patients. His hospital is beautiful and modern and so very clean.

I wish you great success with hae WLS.

Hugs,

Suzanne

I was considered a light weight and Dr Kelly did mine - I would not hesitate to send family and friends to him. Wonderful man and skilled surgeon.

Dr. Kelly was always my first choice, not due to price but my confidence in hin. I never felt Dr. Kelly or my care was "cheap" in any way, and I'd do it again in a heart beat.

I'm planning to go through Dr Ponce and Trish. Dr Ponce performs the single incision, and since I scar easily and don't heal great, the fewer cuts the better for me!

      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?

      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! 😞
