Hello everyone, I am LizzyM and new to this site. I am an old timer on the OH boards, but still pre-op. My surgery of choice,of course is the vsg with Dr. Aceves. I have read so many positive things about him on both boards which helps me in knowing I have chosen a great surgeon. My surgery is Sept. 30, any one else near or on that date? I will be coming from Ohio to Mexicali. I am very excited! Hope to make many new friends here.

Liz

Welcome Lizzy - we are so happy you are here. You have made an excellent choice in choosing Dr. Aceves. IMO he is absolutely wonderful. You might go to the september sleevers and see who else is scheduled with Dr. Aceves at or around the same time as you.

Admittedly, I am the oddity here having had my surgery done in Flint, MI. But welcome anyway! Good group, lots of knowledge, and the sleeve has been very, very good to me. Best of luck.

There are an awful lot of us who had surgery by Dr. Aceves. I plan to go back there in Oct. and have all my post op lab work done and an Upper GI.

Welcome to our board.

Hi Lizzy

I will be having my surgery the day after you. Flying out of Louisville, Ky. on Sept 30th and surgery on Oct. 1st.

My hubby will be coming with me. Are you going alone?

I can't wait to meet you.

Maybe we can talk in the chat room.

I think this board is very easy to navigate. It's all divided up into whatever section you are interested in.

If you click on User Cp it will bring you back to whatever threads you have posted in.

I find the other board really hard to find my threads that I am interested in reading.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
