My husband has been reading the forums so he can get on board with me having the sleeve in Mexico. He said he had seen nothing but positive things. He thinks it sounds to good to be true. Does anybody have any words of comfort I can give him or any advice so he will be comfortable with me having the surgery there

I wasn't comfortable with my sister going by herself . . . major surgery alone in Mexico? No. So I went with her. That was July. I was so impressed with her experience I went back myself (sis went with me) for the surgery! It really is too good to be true; but they can do more with less money in Mexico.

My advice is when you settle on a dr., start reading everyone's experiences. chances are your experience will be similar and you'll know more about what to expect.

My dad felt the same way. He is a lawyer (aka paid paranoid) and a total worry wart. I asked him to accompany me to Mexicali for my surgery with Dr Aceves. He was VERY skeptical at first. In fact, he insisted on going to down there and touring the hospital and interviewing Dr Aceves before I paid te deposit. He came back from that visit more excited about surgery than I was! He felt so confident - it was really encouraging to me.

Our experience in Mexico was superb, even better than I planned. I think your spouse has every right to worry about you, but really I think he'll be impressed with the experience. If he has questions or concerns encourage him to contact the hospital / surgeon!

Awesome. Thanks everyone!

I had the same surgery date & surgeon as Frza and agree with her completely. I work in hospitals for a living and I can honestly say the hospital I stayed at was cleaner than any I've been to in the Vegas area. My territory is 5 hospitals. Also, Dr Aceves has more sleeve experience than all the gastric sleeve docs in this area put together.

The staff is so friendly and helpful too. When Frza and I wanted to go to the pharmacy across the street, the nurse insisted on going with us to help guide us as the traffic can be tricky. We were treated like VIPS from airport pickup to airport drop-off. I would recommend Dr Aceves and his staff to anyone, no reservations.
