I left my tummy in Mexicali!

I just got back from having a VSG with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali MX. It was a very good experience and I highly recommend Dr.Aceves and Dr. Campos. They checked on me twice a day everyday, even as late as 8pm! The nurses and staff were very responsive to all my needs. The facility is the cleanest medical facility I have ever been in and fairly modern. All in all a great experience! I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone has!
Something I thought was nice and my husband appreciated, was that once my surgery was done Dr Aceves called my room to tell my husband that I was in recovery and the surgery had gone well.

I was pretty sore for the first 24 hours and they used an IV pain medication. They told me what it was but I've forgotten. It must have been a narcotic of some kind because it made me extremely groggy. After 24-48 hours my pain numbers were much lower so they switched me to the Toradol (called Supradol in Mexico). I found the pain was very well managed. They were quick to respond if I complained of pain. They sent me home with a supply of Supradol also which was perfect and I haven't needed anything else.
