Hi girls...

Dr. Aceves is not going to be in surgery that weekend March 12-14. He has a conference he is going to attend.

I am looking into the 19th now with 'Stuck'.

MlkPas - Still set on going local? If you do schedule for the 19th, let us know!

KRYSTL166 - I have the same price for march. :thumbup1:

I had my surgery with Dr. Aceves on Feb.9th and I received the best care I have ever had in any hospital. Dr. Aceves and his assistant Dr. Campos came in to see me many times each day. The hospital is incredibly clean. I crossed the border with an enhanced drivers license. You can use these if you drive across either the Canadian or Mexican border. You guys will do great.

I am a new member to this site but have been reading all your helpful posts. Reading this site helped me decide to have the gastric sleeve vs. the band which is what I had originally planned. Thank goodness I found out that it was an option before I was banded. I was really having doubts about the band and life with the band. No one in this area is yet doing the sleeve - most likely since it is not covered by most insurance companies yet. But I do know a few surgeons who are interested. And thank you for helping me find Dr Aceves. I just lined up my surgery and it will be in just 11 days on March 22nd!! I too will be traveling alone, flying into San Diego. I am hoping that it goes well and is not too painful as I have never had surgery before. Wish me luck.

      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.
