I feel we are in good hands. I could have the surgery locally for about the same price, but Id rather travel to someone I feel safer with!!!. Dr. Aceves reputation serves him well.

I have two friends who had the sleeve by Dr. Aceves and they LOVE him. they say the hospital is so clean and everyone is so wonderful. I also have a friend who is a doctor in Seattle and she researched the sleeve like crazy, went to a doctor up there and he said if he was going to have a sleeve he would go to Dr. Aceves. She had it done by him, because she needed to stay up there. But you can't get a better recommendation than from another doctor I think. I am so excited, I go down two weeks from today! My new life starts then!! I shaved my head two months ago for cancer research fundraising, so I started a new life then now I am adding to it with a better body!! Woo hoo!!!! good luck to all of us. God is taking care of us!!! Happy Memorial day

Dr A is the best!! Especially for band revisions. Everything you hear is true. You will be well taken care of and they will tailor your meds / procedure to your specific situation. I met someone from the board while I was down there and we still keep in touch - it's like a little badge of honor going through the surgery together.

Be prepared, though. The recovery time is tough, I found it more difficult than my band recovery. However, the results and long term comfort are so much better. No more port pain, no more food sticking, no more rampant hunger, and you will have VERY consistent restriction from day one.

Good luck!

Ohhh you will ALL love your sleeves!! I had my revision on Sept 15 2010 and so far I'm down 80 Lbs since then. Nearly 90 from my pre op diet and working on 140 Lbs total. :) Best thing I've ever done for myself!!!

For ME the sleeve has been a far better surgery. I'm rarely hungry (VERY RARELY), the weight comes off much faster, the restriction is superb and no more of the monthly surgeon visits... can't beat that at all. :)

All the best to all of you getting sleeved or revised! Keep us updated.

Wow so many with band to sleeve revisions.

Dr Aceves did my band to sleeve revision 3 1/2 months ago. My experience was totally awesome. My husband went with me and I am such a baby with pain he was saying "this is going to be bad". Nope! No throwing up, almost no pain and no dry heaving. I couldn't believe it.

Another girl was there just getting the sleeve and she was doing really good too, then there was a guy there and I felt so sorry for him. He was not feeling too well. I have emailed both of them and they are both doing great now.

I had my band for 4 years and am so glad it is gone. I decided not to be a slave to the scale and the last time I weighed I was 3 months out and down 53 lbs. More than half way to my goal and looking forward to the rest of my life.....

Good Luck to all of you.......

      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
