Six months surgiversary!
moonrisen replied to moonrisen's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!! Trying on clothes is great!! Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the Costco samples!! No more knee pain !! No more shortness of breath!! These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!! -

Best wishes and enjoy the journey!! -
I sometimes walk by mirrors and have to do a double take!! I have had friends not recognize me if they haven't seen me in a while! I am filled with gratitude for Dr Aceves and his staff.... Six short months and I am down 160 lbs! No complications! I have not reached my goal yet but I am confident I will do so! My life is so much better now... I wish I had not waited so long!!

Welcome magic muffin!! I had surgery with D Aceves in Mexicalli!! Life is great on the losers bench!! -
Oops!! Also... I forgot to answer your question!! There was no pain no problems for me either post op or thru my recovery.... You will be in good hands with Dr Aceves and his team !

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr Aceves and his entire team! The entire experience felt like going to a spa! Everyone from beginning to end ... From physician to housekeepers were incredibly kind and nice and attentive. I have lost over 30 lbs this first month post op & never felt so hopeful that FINALLY my struggle with weight has hope to be successful in keeping the weight off ! In my opinion Dr Aceves is a humble and genuinely kind man and skilled surgeon. I have been an RN for 32 years and for me Dr Aceves has been such a blessing!

I had my surgery done 8.21.12 with dr Aceves . I was not a spinal but some of my hospital mates had spinals and reported that they were sleeping before the spinal was put in! As a nurse and a former spinal recipient when I had my C Sections that is so so nice to be sleeping before the spinal is done! In my opinion , just another reason to choose Dr Aceves and his team! The experience with Dr Aceves and his entire team from beginning to now with doing follow ups has been EXCELLENT CARE!!
