Dr. Alberto Aceves a well known and respected Bariatric Surgeon from Mexicali was killed in a tragic plane crash



Recommended Posts

I Emailed Nina (part of his office staff, and who many of us talked to who went to see Dr. A) last night and she replied this morning - unfortunately also a confirmation.

Ugh.

I emailed Gaby last night....so sorry that this is indeed a reality.

"This is true... and a great loss for all of us worldwide !

His son ( that was flying with him ) is safe
We appreciate your kind words...
He really loves his patients !
We are all very sad
hugs from all of us
Gaby"

I'm so sad that the reason I came back to MBP to post is due learning about the passing of my amazing surgeon, Dr. Aceves. He was such a nice man and a talented surgeon.

I cannot speak on the relationships that those who do not do Medical Tourism build with their medical team locally but for many of us who venture away from our "home" it feels more personal.

Dr. Aceves helped me to change my life and made a terrifying decision easy and comfortable,

My sympathies to those who's lives are effected by this loss.

This is so sad and shocking. Dr. Aceves did my sleeve over three years ago.

My heart goes out to everyone who knew this man personally, and to those in the bariatric community whose lives he impacted in many positive ways.

That is such tragic news! He made a huge difference in the lives of so many people--just on this board alone! My condolences to his friends, family and patients. R.I.P., Dr. Aceves!

He was his assistant in every surgery for years. He assisted Aceves on me a month ago. I went to Dr Aceves for his artistry in how he does the sleeve, I would choose Dr Beltran now because he will be doing it the way he did it with dr aceves for so long. It's still so shocking :-(

      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
