"Dr. Aceves and his team made me feel very welcomed and treated me like a person. My experience was great. My husband and I arrived in San Diego on November 8, 2009. We spend a night in San Diego and stayed at a hotel that Nina, (Dr. Aceves's patient coordiantor) recommended. We were able to receive the coorperate rate. The following day Ernesto (Dr. Aceves's driver) picked us up at the hotel. Ernesto was great! He shared his own experience with us regarding his VSG. He showed us his before pictures. He was doing great. This was very reassuring. We arrived at the hospital and test were completed. I had a urine test, chest xray, blood work and an ECG. All of my tests were normal. I met with Dr. Aceves thereafter. He explained what would be happening tomorrow (day of surgery). He told me to enjoy myself and have my last supper. Ernesto took us to our hotel and I must say it was beautiful. He would be back to pick us up at 7am. I enjoyed my last meal. rnrnThe following morning we were shown to our room at the hospital. It was a large clean room with a comfy sofa for my husband. Dr. Aceves and his team met with myself, my husband, and two other patients to discuss our upcoming procedures. He provided us with information about the surgery and the aftercare. He also strongly stressed to us that our lifestyles would need to change. rnrnMy surgery lasted 2hours. They informed my husband by telephone right away that all went well. Dr. Aceves did inform us earlier that if he found any other problems during surgery he would repair. I had a ulcer that was repaired. rnrnI remained in the hosital for three nights. I had constant care from nurses and from Dr. Kampos and Dr. Aceves. I was so impressed with the care that I received that I would recommended Dr. Aceves to anyone. I would rate him as \"10\" on a scale of 1 to 10. He is the best!"
