I went to Dr. Aceves in November and do not have a complaint!! Him and his staff are all professionals and the hospital is sooooo clean! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I am going back this weekend to get my first fill. Fills are free for life, only cost is for the hospital's fluoroscope ($75.00). If you have ANY questions, please feel free to ask me or search for WASABUBBLEBUTT, she has lots of information and posts on here. Plus she wrote a wonderful sticky on how to research Mexican Doctors. Again let me know if you or your husband have any questions!! Steven

Hello Steven,

It is good to hear from you. I have a date with Dr. A in February and I am nervous as can be. It is good to hear that you had a great experience. Most posts state they have had a good experience with Dr. A, so I am looking forward to it. I can admit I do think of not waking up from surgery...but I am continuing to pray about that. I will ask my husband if he has any questions, and I will send you another post. He is still not too sure about all of this... as it is new to him. He does not like dr, hospitals, medicine, etc. He prefers natural remedies, but he seems to be supportive. Going to Mexico is another issue for him.......

Don't worry.. I had the same thought. It was over in no time and I was wide awake! Looking back I know it's all a mind game and I shouldn't have stressed over it, but I did. Now time to move on and lose some weight!! Do let me know if you have any questions. I am going down this weekend for a fill. I will let you know how that goes! Steven

you and your husband should rest assured your in good hands with dr.aceves and the hospital. both get a 10!! very clean and great bedside manners etc. going into mexicali, not sure if your driving or flying in. either way if you drive in, no problem. coming back out expect to have a pretty long wait getting back through u.s.customs. we just drove in for my daughters 1st fill in march and it took 1 hour and 45 minutes at the border. well worth it though, and worth every red cent for the band and all!!
