Ok so I'm getting sugery in Mexico my dr aceves and my husband is coming with me. What did you do with the person that came with you i was told he could stay in the hospital room with me or stay in the hotel. I'm not sure how comfortable he will be in the hospital room. Any advice??!

Im going with Dr. Garcia to heard wonderful things about him a lady from the boards is there now watch out for her post coming soon...I will be going on Feb 22 and I cant wait

I will see Dr Garcia tomorrow as I am in Chicago and he is doing a weight loss seminar here tomorrow. I really wanted to see him again after my surgery to thank him in person and I never thought that I would. Since Chicago is a short distance from where I am in Iowa I came for the weekend and first time in Chicago. I am excited to hear what he has to say tomorrow and I want to get a picture of me and him together. I will keep you informed.

I had surgery on Nov 29th with Dr. Aceves, my mom went with me and stayed in the room. I couldn't imagine her not staying with me. They have a nice cafeteria where she ate everyday. It really worked out perfect because she was there to help do whatever. We went walking the halls and outside a few times, it was a little cold when I was there. It was a great experience.

I am almost 7 weeks out and I am down 46 pounds since the day of surgery, no complications. I have followed Dr. Aceves' post op instructions to the letter!

Good Luck! You will do great!
