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.

I read about $8200.00 on their website. The way I understand it there is a counselor and anesthesiologist in house. You can get more information from their web site. www.dr.aceves.com ? Not sure but you can Google it.

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!
