My Mexicalli Experience!



Recommended Posts

Wow!! I just wanted to take a moment now that I'm officially on the losers bench to share my experience with Dr Aceves and his staff.... Wonderful is the only word I can find!! The entire experience felt like going to a spa!!

From beginning to end it was quick efficient and organized. From emails and phone calls with the coordinator Nina to the driver Ramon!

I was always escorted everywhere ... Anything my friend that went with me needed was seen to... Like she wanted her teeth cleaned... Yolanda... Ninas mom set it up!! The doctors come in three times a day! The housekeepers clean constantly and clean your room three times a day!

Almater hospital is a small efficient private clean hospital filled with really nice nurses and every staff that even passed me in the hallways always smiled and greeted me warmly!

I have been in USA hospitals as a nurse for 32 yrs and know good care.... This was a fabulous experience!

I highly recommend Dr Aceves !

The lucerna hotel we stayed at the night before surgery was so beautiful! And excellent service!

Both my best friend and I said it did feel like a vacation instead if a surgery!! I was so well taken care of!! Every detail attended to!

I like that Dr Aceves has his own floor of the hospital so all the nurses know what they are doing! I like that they keep you in the hospital for three days and make sure every thing is as it should be... Then dc us on day 4 !

It was a wonderful experience!!

dr Aceves is warm and kind... Dr Campos works with him and has had the VSG... So he is a fabulous resource !!

All I can recommend ready2 b is to research the doctors and talk to their coordinators and former pts.... For me... I wanted to be in a real hospital not a recovery house and clinic and transported back and forth daily for the leak tests ... Dr Aceves for me was an excellent choice .... Good luck on your journey!! Feel free to PM me!

there's wifi and a big tv in your room, everything is super clean and new

the nurses and staff are super sweet and helpful

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
