Hello -

I know that Dr. Arellano and Dr. Aceves were once a team. I see a lot of comments on Dr. Aceves but not Dr. Arellano.

Can anyone tell me if they looked into each of these surgeons, and why you chose one over the other for gastric sleeve?

They both practice in Mexicali.

Thank you. :)

I'm am very excited to go to Dr Aceves next Friday! I did a lot of research not only on number of surgeries, but on complications, after care and real results. Dr Aceves does a lot of sleeve revisions from doctors who don't quite do it right and peoples stomachs stretch a lot. I was he very encouraged by the number of people who not only got down to their moderate goal weight but even below it and had to learn how to stop losing weight because it was done so well. I'm very excited and feel totally comfortable. The fee is $8750 and includes a night in the hotel and 3 nights in the hospital and transportation to and from the San Diego airport.

I would love Dr. Ramos Kelly's info.  I have submitted the information request form on wlsclinic.com and sent an email to wlsclinic@outlook.co but no one has gotten back to me.

Came back from surgery. Was a great experience. Dr Aceves spent an hour talking with us the day before the surgery. He did 3 leak tests of different kinds which I really like, and sent me home with the barium x-rays of my new tummy! If you want a good sleeve, I highly recommend him.

Teetering between Ortiz or Ponce De Leon/Dr. verboonen. Anyone had sleeve surgery with any of these 3 surgeons?, good outcomes?

I am in Orlando and I bet the flight will be a killer coming back!!  my band slipped last year. I had great results with Labband for 10 years but band slipped mid last year, and I started packing on the pounds rapidly. Had band taken out . now ready for sleeve... contemplating sleeve in Tijuana!

Best advice??

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
