How long of a wait for Dr. Aceves?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Looking to find out how long people have had to wait to get there sleeve done by Dr. Aceves. Does he have a long waiting list, or can you get in pretty quickly?

Thanks!

I had to wait 3 weeks for an opening that fit my schedule although I recall that there were some openings in the schedule sooner than that. Give Nina a call and ask.

It was a 2 week wait for me :)

I set mine up about a month out I think, but that was my choosing. I believe the wait time is pretty short. Give Nina a call and find out. I wouldn't imagine it would be more than 2 weeks.

It happened within a week for me. I canceled my surgery that had been scheduled in the USA on Monday this week and switched to Dr A with surgery scheduled for this Saturday. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

Good luck and let us know what you decide!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
