I have a lot of information about Dr. Aceves and all of his credentials. It should be in the surgeon forum but if you can't find it, I can email it to you. Just send me a message with your email address.

I had Dr. Aceves, because his record is so good. The hospital is first class, too. I don't know anything about Dr. Kelly, so I can't comment there. I also had some dental work done while I was there - two crowns. I also stayed with a very friendly and helpful Mexican family that charged half the price of a hotel. Email me if you want any particulars on this. - Steve

I would highly recommend Dr Kelly - and work with his personal assistant Trish who will be on the ground in TJ with you during your stay! Have you spoke with Dr Kelly? I would ask to do that if you have not. He speaks perfect English. YeS he is a Christian, so is Trish. They both held my hand and said a prayer with me prior to surgery (my request). I now consider Trish a personal friend and just exchanged emails with her this week! She follows up on my progress periodically.

I am 7 months out ant I am 9.9 lbs from my goal! Love my sleeve and not a single complication. You can read about my experience on my blog page here on VST. If you have additional questions send me a message and I will try to answer what I can! Best wishes on your journey!

her email is <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">smoothgospel@hotmail.esor I can have her call you if you give me your contact info.. name # - you can private message me this if you want.

If you email her please let her know Kim Lemke gave you her email - so she knows how you got her personal email. I would recommend working directly with her if you have not already scheduled. You will love her!

Thank you so much,

Isn't Dr. Aceves Christian as well? I assumed since I read he has a large picture of Jesus with his hand on the surgeon's hand. Anyone know? This would make me feel better since I am Christian as well.

Yeah, and Jesus wasn't wearing gloves or a hair net either. I guess all that bacteria got to go straight to heaven.

Seriously? Would you also poke fun at a Muslim, Jew, or Buddhist's faith?

Sorry, if I offended, Newday. I'm sure that Dr. Aceves is Catholic, but I didn't ask him.

      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.
