I had my surgery done 8.21.12 with dr Aceves . I was not a spinal but some of my hospital mates had spinals and reported that they were sleeping before the spinal was put in! As a nurse and a former spinal recipient when I had my C Sections that is so so nice to be sleeping before the spinal is done! In my opinion , just another reason to choose Dr Aceves and his team! The experience with Dr Aceves and his entire team from beginning to now with doing follow ups has been EXCELLENT CARE!!

Moonrisen - How would you describe your recovery since you didn't have the spinal? I'm scheduled with Dr. Aceves on Oct. 13 and also haven't made up my mind about the spinal option. Thanks for any info!

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr Aceves and his entire team! The entire experience felt like going to a spa! Everyone from beginning to end ... From physician to housekeepers were incredibly kind and nice and attentive. I have lost over 30 lbs this first month post op & never felt so hopeful that FINALLY my struggle with weight has hope to be successful in keeping the weight off !

In my opinion Dr Aceves is a humble and genuinely kind man and skilled surgeon.

I have been an RN for 32 years and for me Dr Aceves has been such a blessing!

      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.
