Anybody have Dr. Aceves and/or went alone?

My revision is a little higher. It's almost $11K. I'm a self-pay, but I'm happy I don't have to fight with my insurance, and once it's done I don't have to keep paying for fills, etc. With my lapband, each office visit is no less than $300, and the x-rays are close to $1000. I had a high deductible, and even after the deductible was met, not much was covered. I figured it's best to go ahead and spend the lumpsum and get it over with.

NewlySleeved (and everyone else!) - thanks SO much for taking the time to post. I'm a little nervous and anxious, but hearing your story really helps!! My sister was supposed to travel to Mexico with me, but that's changed now, and I'll be going alone. She's the only person who knows I'm going. I have no idea how, when, or if I'm going to explain the weight loss to everyone else. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm just eager to start a new chapter.

I don't have much of a pre-surgery diet, but I am supposed to drink two shakes and have a sensible dinner, I think. I'm going to check this weekend because whatever I'm supposed to do, I have to start it Monday.

I'm happy to know there will be others there that I can talk to and bond with. It'll do me good.

Thanks again!!
