Thanks, I'm done now. Just sleeved by Dr. aceves and couldnt' be happier.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for this post. I am leaving Sunday for Hospital Almater wtih Dr. Aceves and I am going alone. I know noone who has had the surgery so your post was awesome, thanks for taking the time and energy! I look forward to following your success, best of luck!

Thanks for all the great input folks. I am headed to Mexicali to see Dr. Aceves on Sunday. I'll be sure to check in when I can.

Hello out there, I am self employed and don't intend to tell anyone except hubby knows. He did you all keep it a secret and how much time should I take off before seeing clients again. I realize it is different for everyone and that I cant really predict but would love your thoughts! Thanks everyone! I'm scheduled leave next weekend and getting a bit nervous although committed and want to make sure that I manage m own expectations along with m clients who dont know what I am doing.

My surgery is 6 days away and I am feeling flu like symptoms just starting. Do i have anything to worry about? If so, is there anything i can do or take to fend this off? I'm pumping vitamin c and staying in bed.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the input!

We will be sleeve sisters! Sounds like your sisters could both be a great resource for you to learn from so that is too bad. Surround yourself with supportive folks and you'll be fine. This forum has been a savior because I too have noone to talk to.

Thanks, that is a great site to break the rages down into detail!

I am trying to figure out what I want my goal weight to be. Does anyone have a good resource to determine this? Any recommendations for how to think about this? I realize that I have to be flexible in the end however I do want something to "reach" for. My entire adult life has been either gaining or loosing so I don't really know what is comfrotable for me...

Thanks Pugee Siren

Leah, how do you measure your body fat on a regular basis? Do you buy an Omron or something?

Yes, but the range is huge!

I'm scheduled for surgery 2/27 and pre ops are 2/26.

Yes, I did, I am starting to wonder if I did enough research..

Great point. Great idea! Thanks!

Great input. I may have to brush up my Atkins knowledge since I've never done it, but sounds like I'll need to know it anyway.

Wow impressive. Can I ask what made you chose Aceves?

Meaggan26, didn't know st joes does this.... I'm going to Mexico. Let's stay in touch! Well almost be sleeve sisters from the same city.

I'll be there right after you, best of luck! Keep us all posted!

Oh Yeah! we're almost sisters. I'll be there alone so I'm sure I'll be sleeping on the 27th and then plan to check on you after your surgery. Can I buy you a drink? I hear they have some awesome broth.... lol

I'm scheduled for 2/27/12 with Dr. Aceves. Anyone else going to be there?
