Hi, I'm looking into having Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy VSG. I have decide to have the surgery, but I need some help with picking the right Doctor for the right price. I'm paying Cash. I live in Augusta GA and would love to hear from anyone who is willing to share the VSG pre and post operation experience with me? I would love to hear from you if you've had a great experience and even if you had a bad one ... ALL help needed... Thanks

If you search for Dr. Aceves on this board you will find loads of people who have had their surgery done by him. He is in Mexicali, Mexico and I thought his price (8750) was reasonable for 1 night hotel, 3 nights hospitalization, surgery and anesthesia, and airport pickup and return.. He did mine in January and I had no complications and just sailed on through the recovery period. He has done thousands of sleeves and I feel great and would go to him again. Wish he did plastics!

Don't pick by price, though. Pick by experience doing sleeve surgery and your comfort level leaving the U.S. There are excellent surgeons everywhere, you just need to research.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
