Surgery with Dr.Aceves 2/12. Anybody else?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves on February 12th. I am contemplating going by myself and was wondering if anybody else would be there the same time. I would never have considered it, but after reading about everybody's experiences here on this forum, I feel fairly good about going by myself. I would have to pay the plane ticket and stuff for a friend, so I'm thinking I can do it by myself.

Wow, Dreaming, it would be awesome if we could go together! I haven't paid my deposit yet either. I am still trying to figure out the money situation as well. I am planning on flying over on the 11th for my preop stuff and then have the surgery on the 12th. I can't remember the exact price they quoted me, but I will look and get back to you.

it would be great if you guys could go together. but if you get to go by yourselves dont worry cause everything will be just fine. i went by myself and i had no setbacks at all. besides everyone really takes good care of you.

Hi, I am scheduled for Feb 15, arriving on the 14th for pre-op tests. Perhaps we will cross paths!

Cheers,

Margo

Hey ladies,

I'm also interested in getting sleeved around the same time. I haven't set a scheduled date, however, I have spoken to one of the coordinators. I'm trying to decide on funding, so that's my hold up. I was also told that the special was $8750 and the regular price is $9500. So hopefully when I make my decision, I will get the price of the special.

I WISH I got the Jan special price... alas, it was $9,500 for me. (Let you know if any of you get the deal!)

I've now paid my deposit and everything is confirmed for the 15th - can't wait! I've been ordering Vitamins etc and trying to make sure that I have everything I need - still need a leisure bra as my underwires will be too painful post-op on the plane.

XOX,

Margo

I tried to get Nina to give me the January special. But she said she could not. She did give me a deal for $9000. I just got approved for my loan today and am super excited! I feel like I am so unprepared though reading about everybody else's preparations. I was not told to buy Vitamins. What vitamins do I need?? I have been researching Protein supplements though and I have also started working out regularly. (I am totally panicked that I will be all flabby after weightloss.) Wow, it looks like four of us will be there at the same time!

      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.

      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.
