Going to Dr. Aceves solo in summer 2013



Recommended Posts

Going to Dr. Aceves solo this summer (June-ish) and wanted to know who else is going! (May be to early to ask but I'm excited)! Anyone else going solo that wants to meet up? What should I look out for? Preparation?

Me! I'm aiming for June too! And hopefully Dr. Aceves! I'm saving, saving, saving :)

Yes' date=' he's pretty expensive but I can't think of anyone else I'd entrust my life to other than him.[/quote']

Right. That's kind of what it all comes down to with me as well. I worry myself to death about everything, and he puts my mind at ease. I don't make a lot of money, but this is something I need to save up for and invest in. I've have yet to read a bad experience from anyone tht has went to him.

I had surgery with Dr Aceves and went alone. There was one person from this forum who went at the same time I did and several others in various stages of recovery. We were all in the same wing. There's a post somewhere in this called Dr Aceves, what to take that really can be used by anyone traveling to Mexico.

I will say I had a great experience. I really felt like a VIP the whole time I was there and can't say enough good things about Dr Aceves, Dr Campos, and the rest of the staff. I saved for a long time to have my VSG through him, and I feel it was worth every penny. I lost 75# in five months. I'm sure it was partly due to my snug sleeve. If I can answer any questions, feel free to PM me.

I too was sleeved by Dr. Aceves, it was an excellent experience! Of course I didn't feel it was too costly, considering its almost 20k in the states. I understand Tiajuana is cheaper, but I was looking for great care at a great price, instead of cheap.

I'm having surgery April 1st with Dr. Aceves. I really do feel like I am getting the whole package with Dr. Aceves and his team! Yes... the money aspect was difficult...but having complications would also be financially devastating and I think that his level of skill will give me the best chance to come through without problems with my revision from band to sleeve. I'll look forward to hearing about your experience!

I really want to go with Aceves and so does my husband but the cost is making it difficult. I too am revising from the band and want someone who really knows what he's doing and it sounds like he is it! I have half of his cost saved and really want to have this done in June. Decisions. Decisions.

I cannot decide between Aceves and Garcia, but leaning more towards Aceves because it seems he has more experience and its in a real hospital.

I want to go by June 3rd but I haven't even called yet to schedule. I am trying to get my down payment together.

I've also gone back and forth with Dr. Garcia and Dr. Aceves. It's a hard decision to make! That's for sure... Especially when money is a factor.

      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!!
