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.

      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.
