Mexico Medical Tourism and Bariatrics
Medical tourism in Mexico and bariatrics (weight loss) surgery with Dr. Aceves and team is the group you will want to check out for you and your loved one. In conjunction with Pulse Protocol, you will be hard pressed to find a better solution for your weight loss needs. Pulse Protocol offers a medical tourism platform that coordinates travel plans with top surgeons, state of the art facilities and affordable prices. That is tough to beat! Dr. Aceves has recently teamed up with Pulse Protocol to provide a streamlined process of surgery and travel vacation to Mexico with Pulse clients.
This August I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Aceves’s team through Angelica (Coordinator) and Francisco (MD Assistant/patient) of Dr. Aceves’s Team at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. I was escorted on a tour from their beautiful front lobby through their offices, the hospital and private patient rooms. We toured the offices and the hospital as they thoroughly answered questions I had and that I knew you as a potential client might have. As a retired Nurse Practitioner, FNP, and surgical/operating room RN, they allowed me to meet with patients that were happy with and recovering nicely from their surgery from the day before.
Dr. Fernando Aceves
Dr. Aceves and team has been at Puerta de Hierro Hospital for the past 15 years. He is board certified in bariatrics. Dr. Aceves is one of the top bariatric surgeons in Mexico. He has performed well over 1,000 bariatric bypass surgeries, 1,500 gastric sleeve surgeries, numerous revisions, as well as trained other physicians.
The Team
There are several things that impress me with his team. What may have impressed me most is the team includes a psychiatrist, a cardiologist and a nutritionist within the offices…and all within the hospital. Wherever you are in the process; pre-surgery through post-surgery, you will have the team near to answer questions, assist you and to take care of you after surgery. Angelica explains that surgeries are performed Monday thru Wednesday with patients staying in the hospital 2 days. The entire team is on campus and available Monday through Friday to address any issues that may arise. This is truly comprehensive care!

If you, a friend, or a loved one have always been curious about a meditation practice and what that entails, then Joanie’s book Simple Meditation to Simply Improve Your Life is the book for you.
Revisions
Dr. Aceves has performed many revisions on patients. Surgery can vary in the amount of time needed depending on the patient’s situation. However, if a patient has had one of these surgeries from another doctor and needs a revision, then Pulse Protocol and their team of facilitators and coordinators will get you set up and into consultation with Dr. Aceves.
Recover and Relax
Possibly you will be able to take advantage of some vacation time in Mexico to recover and relax poolside for a week or more. Whether you can spend time in Mexico or need to get back home, the team will be able to tell you all about travel times, your nutritional needs and when and how you can get back into an exercise program.
When you are back home, you will be in communication with the team for as long as you want to stay in touch and communicate to update them and get more information.
Bariatric Bypass Surgery
Bariatric bypass surgery, in short, bypasses the original stomach with redirection of the intestines. Gastric bypass is for morbidly obese patients with a higher BMI. You can expect surgery to be 90 minutes with a 2 day hospital stay.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy, while providing the same results, is a bit of a different animal. Gastric sleeve surgery is creating a smaller stomach area by the removal of 85% of the stomach. This reduces the amount of food ingested, but retains the absorption of nutrients.
You can expect surgery to be 45 minutes with a 2 day hospital stay.
Consultation with Dr. Aceves
Pulse Protocol will set up a consult with Dr. Aceves and the team after they have reviewed your medical information. Pulse will set up a Zoom call with Dr Aceves to discuss any questions in detail. The team will be able to tell you the full process, how many days you’ll be in the hospital, when you can travel home, changes in weight and diet, and when you can resume normal activities. You’ll have your full agenda along with communication with the nutritionist.
Puerta de Hierro Hospital
As mentioned in our other Ripples and Ripples Health & Wellness blog articles, the Puerta de Hierro Hospital, a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, is an excellent hospital, with many types of specialties under one roof. The hospital is very clean with excellent doctors and nurses, friendly and helpful staff and modern facilities.
The Puerta de Hierro Hospital is within walking distance to some of the best malls, shopping, dining and lodgings in Guadalajara.

What are Stem Cells
Asking the question, what are stem cells, well, it’s a little complicated, as they are only the cells that determine you from birth. However, in short, stem cells are young cells. And, they have been somewhat controversial.
