Dr. Aceves mexicali mexico



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so my mom is looking to have her lap band removed and get the sleeve like I did on the 10th. Problem is her insurance excludes the revision. We had the most horrible dr originally for our lap band 5yrs ago and were self pay, Felix Speigel. I don't want my mom going to another chop shop like him and my doctor would be wicked expensive.

I've read a lot of posts referring to a Dr Aceves in Mexico. If you've used him or know someone who has would you mind telling me your story, good/bad/ugly and if you would or would not recommend going to Mexico for the revision. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. I am afraid of losing my mom and my son to miss out of time with his Grammy.

I just got home yesterday from having sleve done with Aceves. I can't say enough good things. There was another lady there who had just had a revision and was doing amazingly well. I had the pleasure if talking with her and she is highly educated, spent a lot of time researching and was thrilled with her results. If you private message me I will see if she fill vontact you hirectly if interested. I know that during my research he has been praised for being the best at revisions. He's cautious and gives you extra home at thd hospital to recover. He has performed a lot of revisions and that's why you read so much, many doctors refuse to mess with it. Do your research and it will give you the piece of mind you need.

Dr. Aceves did both my band and my revision surgeries. I've been to Mexicali 4 times. He's the BEST out there. Message me with any questions!!

He did my sleeve on the 10th he and his staff are awesome. I think I got better care there than I have in the U.S for prior surgeries.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
