Hi Eric. tell me more about when, where and what kind of surgery u are having

 Hello Charlene,  I am having Vertical sleeve gastrectomy in Mexicali Mexico with Dr. Aceves on May 3rd.  I will be flying from Atlanta to San Diego, CA on May 2nd to start my journey.

Eric.

Why are you going to Mexico to have thi?

Because Dr. Aceves is one of the most experienced sleeve doctors, he is very highly recommended and it is half the price of anything here in the states.  My insurance does not cover weight loss surgery so I had to pay out of pocket.

I am concerned about the sterilization procedures as well as the monitoring for infection and for induced sleep. What is your insurance as mine wouldn't cover it either until there was a little work and then it paid. I am not telling you anything and I understand the costs, but am hopping you will think about this.

 Wow......    Your assuming I didnt do my due dilligence in fighting with my insurance company, your assuming I made the decision to go to Mexico over night, your assuming I havent been working through this process for a year and your assuming Dr. Aceves has a fold out table and a rusty knife.....  

I'll tell you what, If you can find ANYTHING negative about Dr. Aceves or Hospital Almater in Mexicalli, Mexico.  I will cancel my surgery.

Wow, good for you Eric!

I am sure that you did research and that you are confident in your decision with Dr. Aceves.  I will also be having surgery in MEXICO in May (24th) but with Dr. Kelly.  I know that it was not an overnight decision and that it wasn't a decision made hastely.  Unfortunately people decide to take it upon themselves to look poorly upon anothers decision because they do not agree with it.  Don't let them get to you. I have friends that I have told about my surgery and that it is in Mexico and they gave me the same reaction as you just got.  It is disappointing.  I even researched the staples that are used (they are made in the USA). 

Good luck on your surgery and please post on how your expierence goes!
