There are so many sleeve dates coming up soon..... YAY!!! I'm scheduled for July 1st with Aceves in Mexico!!!

I'll be getting sleeved on July 1st by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali!!! I'm so excited!!!

Looks like I'll be getting sleeved June 30th or July 1st now.... I'm still super excited. Hoping these months speeds by!!!

I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia too. I used to take lots of meds & gained weight.... I got tired of not "feeling" like myself & went cold turkey. Some mornings I wake up & get everything done on my to-do list... Others days it hurts to even attempt to roll over in the bed.... However, I'm still determined to have this procedure(scheduled for July 1st w/ Dr. Aceves). Somehow, I think the weight loss will help decrease some of the pain I feel. I just hope I don't have a really bad flare up once I get the procedure. I look forward to hearing other experiences with the sleeve & Fibro/CFS...

I finally scheduled my procedure... It's July 1st with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali.... So far, I've only told 3 people that I'm having WLS. Only one person knows its in Mexico because I don't think I can deal with the negative comments right now. I know my insurance won't cover the sleeve because I don't have a 40 bmi or any existing medical conditions. Anyways, I'm excited about getting my surgery date and really nervous about the procedure. Be prepared for a lot of questions in the near future!!! lol Also, How much time did you take off of work? One week? Two weeks? A month? I ask because I just started my new job with the state & I have about a week & a half worth of sick/annual leave I can use.... I'm combining it with a weekend & July 4th holiday to make it a full two weeks. I work as a public health nurse so it's not too strenuous but I do have to be somewhat active. Do you think two weeks is enough?

I think my surgery will be sometime late June or early July with Dr. Aceves.... I'm really excited about it!

Hello, I'm new to the forum... I've been doing research on lap band & then I decided that the sleeve is the better option for me... I know my insurance will not cover the procedure, so I'm exploring going to Mexico. I've already contacted Dr. Aceves (sp?) and got some information. I know I'll have to cut back and save money but I know it will be worth it. I can't continue to be unhealthy anymore..... To those of you that have been sleeved, Where did you have your procedure done? Any complications? How did your family & friends react? How are you dealing with the lifestyle changes???
