Almanza Reyes

The surgery / recovery aside it looks like the experience with Dr. Reyes is very safe in general. With the escorts throughout your stay. Is the same true for Dr. Aceves?

Also, I have been unable to find a site for Dr. Aceves that lists how many days in the hospital will be required and if you are placed in a private hotel room for some of your stay. Is hotel included in the package? I cannot seem to find any pricing information about Dr. Aceves.

Thanks again for all your help.

dinner.

The hospital room was immaculate as Rosebud mentioned. I believe that housekeeping came into the room about 3x a day to mop etc. My hubby is 6'1 and managed to sleep quite comfortably on the leather sofa in the room.

Towels etc were provided for the shower.

So everything except for companion food and last supper is covered by his fee. I don't know what the charge would be for an extra night.

You did ask if you your stay at the Lucerna Resort the night before surgery is included and yes, it is.

Somebody should move these posts out of Dr. Almanza'a thread. Dr. Aceves deserves his own thread, not intermingled with Dr. Almanza's thread.

I think he has a special now for $8750. That is what I paid as well.

I was worried about how I would find where to go but being picked up at the airport and dropped off there is awesome news. I understand from your post that you spend one night at a hotel and the entire trip is about 5 days. Barring any complications that is. If you need to stay an extra day is that charged separately?

I'm 99% sure he would not have charged for the extra day. He found a hiatal hernia in both myself and my sister and didn't charge extra for the repair.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
