One thing I forgot to add that I loved about Dr. Aceves. He takes full advantage of his internal view. If he notices anything amiss inside like cysts or tumors. Anything off from status quo he makes detailed notes and includes it in your take home medical records so you can follow up at home with the appropriate specialist. He also sends you home with your chest X-ray and EKG. Blood labs. They made sure to add my EKG from when I was in afib and converted back to sinus rhythm. Amanda Rae

Anxiety can be crippling. I know it too. I hope you are able defeat the anxiety. Amanda Rae

I just posted my entire experience with Dr. Aceves. He and the MBC team were wonderful. Amanda Rae

Right now? Head hunger and reluctant to "push" my Sleeve. Amanda Rae

I'm glad that sharing my experience is helping others find peace of mind. Dr. Aceves was not my original choice due to cost, but ultimately the best choice for me. I changed because I was worried my heart would act up (ironic huh?) and my 1st choice/venue may not be equipped to handle it. I will never know how it would have ended up elsewhere but I do know it worked out well in Mexicali tho. It was getting anxiety thinking about it so I switched. Once I made the switch I felt much more calm. Please know I'm not saying anything negative about my 1st choice at all. The reviews I've read are all consistently complementary. I just needed a bit more for my hand holding due to knowing my heart acts up from time to time. Amanda Rae

I wanted to add that after the barium swallow we got broth. It was so yummy. I could taste the veggies in addition to the chicken. They sent us back to San Diego with a Gatorade, apple juice, cup of broth, and a Water upon our release. Also, Nina was always prompt and helpful. Still is! Amanda Rae

I'm glad sharing my experience helps to calm you anxiety. Reading lengthy recounts helped me a lot too and I wanted to pay it forward. Amanda Rae

They're an awesome and efficient team. Amanda Rae

I think, once I weigh in at my PCP's office, I will limit myself to weekly. Amanda Rae

... or do people around us talk about food more? Or, am I just tuned in to it more? Amanda Rae

I am 1 week and a day postop and I'm refusing to weigh in until my doc appointment. I refuse to let this to become another addiction!! Amanda Rae

I know this is a lengthy post but I wanted to try and get it all out there. Amanda Rae

I am one week and a day sleeved by Dr. Aceves and I really feel I received amazing care, second to none. They were awesome.

Creamed soups are on my list too. Reduced fat, of course. Amanda Rae

I'm 1 week postop and I'm afraid to weigh myself. I don't want to become obsessed with the scale but I do want to mark my progress. I just needed to share my worries. Amanda Rae

I'm so glad I didn't weigh myself!! This morning my unwelcome Aunt Flow arrived. I couldn't imagine the results full of postop fluids and hormonal. Amanda Rae

... I think the subject speaks for itself... Amanda Rae

He sharted at the White House. I read an article about it. Bummer that, huh?! :-D Amanda Rae
