"I first began researching the Vertical Gastric Sleeve almost one year ago. Despite the vast difference in the cost, I had never seriously considered going outside of the United States for the surgery. After extensive research, I continually found one surgeon’s name mentioned in one positive review after another, and that name was Dr. Alberto Aceves from the Mexicali Bariatric Center.
The more I read, the more I felt Dr. Aceves was the best surgeon for this type of surgery.
Now two weeks post-surgery, I can safely say that I know I made the right choice. The entire process was a positive one, from my first contact with Nina, the patient coordinator, to meeting Yolanda and Karla from hospital administration and the many caring nurses and of course, to meeting Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos and the rest of the team. Everyone was very helpful and took the time to explain the entire process and answer questions. From the attentive nursing staff to the multiple visits per day from the doctors, I felt that the level of care that I received was as good if not better than here in the States.
Having had a lap band placed in 2003 and removed in 2013, I received more personalized care from Dr. Alberto Aceves and the Mexicali Bariatric Center then I had in the U.S.
Even my lack of Spanish language skills was not much of a problem as all of the doctors spoke fluent English and the nurses spoke enough to get by.
I highly recommend Dr. Aceves and the rest of the staff at Mexicali Bariatric Center for anyone considering weight-loss surgery.
