Alberto Aceves Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

I am a Doctor, and had already looked into this surgery and knew about it. I had known Dr. Aceves, so I went for a consultation. He advised me to research the surgery as much as possible and to talk to post op patients before making any decisions. Which I did! I had various medical tests performed and overall about 3 consultations with Dr. Aceves. The office and hospital staff was very warm, and very hospitable towards me, and my surgery was complication free. One of the best things was that there was very little discomfort post op. I was up and walking within 24 hours and I drove home after 2 days. My recuperation was very quick. However, the hardest thing was getting used to, and sticking to my new diet.

"A friend of ours was going to Mexico for plastic surgery, so my husband I accompanied her. Once there, we were speaking with her surgeon about weight loss surgery and he referred us to Dr. Alberto Aceves.
We met with Dr. Aceves and were very impressed with him. He was very thorough in his consultation and pre-op examination and testing. As a matter of fact, he provides you with a report of all your pre-op testing and thoroughly goes over them one by one and gives you the report to take with you for your own MD to have when you return to the states. <p>

We both had surgery and could not have asked for a more pleasant surgical experience. The hospital was impeccable; it was a private hospital and one that was very clean. We do not speak Spanish, but there were no communication barriers whatsoever. The hospital staff was friendly and so helpful throughout our hospital stay. You did not have to ring for anything, as there was always someone there to check on you or get you what you wanted. <p>

Dr. Aceves is a very caring and a wonderful Doctor. He would stop by two times a day to check on us, and his wife even stopped by to check on us. Our surgical experience in Mexicali, BC was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better surgical team, we highly recommend him."

I HAD THE LAP BAND SURGERY WITH DR. ALBERTO ACEVES DIAZ IN MEXICALI IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002.

I DID THIS KIND OF SURGERY BECAUSE MY SISTER MARIBEL DID IT, AND SHE LOST MORE OR LESS 90 POUNDS, AND SHE FELT VERY WELL AFTER THE SURGERY. SHE LOST 90 POUNDS IN A PERIOD OF 8 OR 9 MONTHS. THAT’S WHY ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I DECIDED TO DO THIS SURGERY.

DR. ACEVES, IS A VERY CARING AND A WONDERFUL DOCTOR, AND HE IS VERY THOROUGH IN HIS CONSULTATION AND PRE-OP EXAMINATION AND TESTING. ALL THIS TIME, MONTH BY MONTH, I HAVE BEEN IN HIS OFFICE, AND HE HAS ATTENDED VERY GOOD AND RESOLVE ALL MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STEPS TO DO FOR MY DIET AND GET A GOAL TO LOSE WEIGHT LIKE MY SISTER MARIBEL.

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE HOSPITAL WAS WONDERFUL. THE HOSPITAL WAS IMPECCABLE, IT WAS A PRIVATE HOSPITAL AND ONE THAT WAS VERY CLEAN. THE HOSPITAL STAFF WAS VERY WARM AND CARING AS WELL.

MY RECUPERATION WAS VERY QUICK AND ACTUALLY I FEEL VERY WELL AND IF YOU DECIDED TO DO THE LAP BAND SURGERY, I RECOMMENDED

TO DR. ALBERTO ACEVEZ DIAZ, BECAUSE HE IS A GREAT SURGEON AND HE HAS A HIGH PRESTIGE IN THE MEDICAL SECTION LIKE A SURGEON.

I had the lap band surgery done by Dr. Alberto Aceves. He explained everything about the surgery beforehand, and was very thorough and concerned about me understanding everything, including the risks, regarding the surgery.

I live in Mexicali, and so I am able to go back for frequent post op visits. He is always very concerned about how I am doing, and if I am comfortable with the lap band.

The surgery was performed at Hospital Almater, and everything there was great. Dr. Aceves checked in on me several times after the surgery, and I was only there for one day.

I would recommend Dr. Aceves to anyone who is interested in the lap band surgery, as he is a great doctor, with great surgical competence and bedside manner.

My surgeon was Dr. Alberto Aceves from Mexicali. I had a intragastric balloon placed and changed three times before I converted to the lap band. I started out at 566pounds. In April of 2003, I had the lap band surgery. I weighed 452pounds. And now, one month later, I weigh 416pounds.

Dr. Aceves was a great surgeon. He was very thorough and very caring. I live in Calexico, CA and that is not too far, so I travel back to Mexicali for my follow up visits. I am so happy I had surgery. <p> My experience at the Hospital was wonderful as well. I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery and had very little pain. I was released from the hospital after 24 hour stay and have not had any complications or problems at all.
