    Default Who knows Dr. Alverto Aceves or Dr. Mario Alvarez (Mexico)

    I've looked into sleeve surgery in Mexico, but have not committed to them yet. Two doctors (Dr Aceves and Alvarez) are more expensive but seem very reputable and offer good quality services. Are there anyone who has had experience with them? Can you provide some insights about their services?

    From what my research has told me you cannot go wrong with either of them. I am going to Dr Aceves myself.

    I have heard of both of them - but I did not use either of them. I used Dr. Almanza and was very happy with him and his staff.

    My hubs and I went to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I can't recommend him enough. He's attentive, personable, and accessible before and after the surgery. I considered the extra $ well-spent, given that he operates in a hospital and limits his procedures to 2-3 a day vs. 8-10.

    Wow. Congratulations, and thank you for your message. Do you know anyone else who had gone with D. Aceves? When is your surgery? I'm planning on being there the first week of September, over Labor Day. Do you know how long the liquid diet is, after surgery?

    Than you for your post... I presum you've heard good things about them?
    After your surgery in May, how long was the liquid diet? I'm looking for some guidance on post surgery procedures.
