glynda.... Look for wasabubblebutt, she went to him about a year ago and is doing fantastic... she met her goal weight in 10 months and goes back to him for her fills....

Good luck to you.....

I went to Dr. Aceves. I like him a great deal. You said you don't live far, are you in AZ or CA? If you are in AZ we meet monthly for lunch and such, many of his Phx patients. You are welcome to join us. We are due for a bandster lunch anyway.

I was correcting some misinformation recently and I'll direct you to that post, it gives some info you might be interested in regarding Dr. A:

Hello wasabubblebutt;

I just love your name...that is tooo cute. Thank you so much for the information about Dr. Aceves. I have a date for February and I want January to fly by so I can join the "losers". You asked where I am located, I am in CA, however, I use to live in AZ and have friends there. When I visit this summer, I am gonna IM you to see if you all are meeting.... I need to do more research to see if I can find a support group like that. I will keep you posted on my journey....

There is a group in CA and they are Dr. A patients. I don't know exactly where in CA but they post on Dr. A's message board. Are you posting there? If not, you should. It's a great place to meet others in your area.

Ahhh, my ID. I used to be BubbleButt then I lost my butt so I changed it to WasABB.

This might be rude...but I am a self pay and wanted to know the difference between going Mexico and having it in the states. Would someone mind letting me know how much it costs. A priviate message would be fine....

Thanks Tons!!

I paid $7800 in Dec/06. I thought it was $8200 now but I was in error, my friend is getting banded this month and it is $7800.

Dr. Aceves in Mexico is 7800. All the places I have researched in California were between 16,000 and 21,000. It was not only the price, I have talked to a few people on line and via phone and this is the decision I have chosen to go with in February:clap2:

Dr Zapata was 8000 with airfare. He was great. Donna

My surgery was on 11/17/07 with Dr. A and I have had no problems since. I have lost 33 lbs and lots of inches!! The hospital is sooo clean and everyone there is wonderful. I am going in for a fill sometime this month. If you have any questions please ask!

Thank you everyone that has posted here about Dr. A. I continue to read and see the same positive comments about him, which helps to calm me down a great deal. I will go to Dr. A's site and find the ca group. Thanks for that suggestion.
