Ruthie,

I saw that you made a decision in 2005 did it go well? I have also considered checking him out.

Hi,

Yes, I went to Dr. Aceves and he is wonderful...I have had no complications whatsoever.

I have never gotten a fill though - but lost 25 lbs in the first 6 weeks and the band has helped me keep it off.

Good luck to you,

Paula

Sharon. I'm glad evrything went well. I have a few questions for you if that's ok? Is the facility as nice as in the pictures? Is it clean and sanitary? I am leary because it's Mexico. Although I have heard good things I am a big chicken, especially when i will be asleep in a diferent country.

Can I ask the price difference between US and going to Mexico for this? I know my clinic charges about $16,900 for the surgery for those who pay out of pocket. How much does it cost to go down there? I am trying to help a friend (whose insurance does not cover it) find a way.:(

Dr. Aceves and his team did my band -- I'm so happy with everything! It is $8200, $8000 if you drive yourself. Your hotel the night before is paid for, and 2 nights in the hospital after your surgery (I chose to stay only one night.)

Everything is SO SO clean, the nurses are fantastic, all of your doctors come to talk to you about every step of what will happen.

I haven't heard of any of Dr. A's patients having complications, just hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews!

      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.

      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

      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! 😞
