Hi, I have a friend who is considering having the VSG with Dr. Aceves. I told her about the wonderful experience I had with my surgery with Dr. Aceves, so I think that is one of the main reasons she is going to him.

Well I ask her to do her own research and make sure that the VSG and Dr. Aceves was a good fit for her. The problem she has with that is she has no computer at home, and her work computer is blocked from any Internet Surfing. So she cannot visit Vertical SleeveTalk.com, OH, or Dr. Aceves yahoo group, etc. to do her own research.

She is going to her PCP on Friday, to get his thoughts on her going to Mexico for VSG surgery, so she needs all the help and information we can give her to pass along to him.

I am hoping that some of you could email her at her work email address and tell her about your surgery experience with Dr. Aceves and traveling to Mexico. Her name is Sue and this is her email address

sue.hilbourn@conwaynationalbank.com

She said she would love to hear from anyone who would love to talk with her and tell her about the VSG and Dr. Aceves.

I truly appreciate your help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
