"I had my laproscopic DS surgery on December 22, 2012 in Mexico. My better half had his the day before. We were both pleasantly surprised at how nice the hospital was and even more surprised at the excellent care we were given while there for a week. Three different doctors would come by daily that were involved in our cases. In the states you are lucky to get your one doctor to come by and see how you are doing once per day.
Karla was our liason. She was a blessing in keeping us informed and making our needs known. The staff was courteous and prompt.
Nina answered all my questions prior to arriving in Mexicali and had all the arrangements made for us once we landed in San Diego. This included Ernesto driving us to and from the airport. I even met Nina's mother at the hospital. All these people were super nice.
Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos are angels in my book. They gave me and my better half a chance to live a LOT longer with their expertise. They truly are concerned for their patients well being and made it plainly evident with each visit and the after care we have been given via email. Gaby helps relay all information with our after care.
My better half has lost 46 lbs and doesn't have to take blood pressure, cholesterol, or insulin meds anymore! Hurray! He is absolutely walking on air from so much improvement in his overall health and new found energy. So far I have lost 25 lbs at exactly 2 months out. The first 20 lbs I lost within the first 3 1/2 weeks and the past 6 weeks have lost 5 lbs. The surgery has finally ended my gradual weight gain on 500 calories a day diet. Even though I haven't lost nearly as much as most people do with this surgery, my main goal was to keep from gaining any more weight and thus I see this surgery as a success. Genetically, my body has always retained and added weight like a sponge, and I was worried as I aged the constant dieting since I was sixteen (and gaining all the while even though on a diet) would not suffice and I would be wheelchair bound by the time I was 60.
For anyone wanting this surgery I highly recommend this Dr. Do not wait a day longer to contact him if you feel this is the surgery for you."
