Hi! I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves the 1st week of April and am as nervous as a cat in a sack! I feel really confident about my choice of surgeon and even more confident after watching some of the videos that others have made about their experience in Mexicali. Nina has been wonderful and has had much patience through my times of stress and anxiety during this process. It has been quite a journey to choosing the right surgeon for me and along the way I have learned so much! My passport arrived 2 days ago... deposit is paid... tickets booked and hopefully I will have financing in place soon. This is really hard for me to do financially with one income but everything is falling into place. LessOfSarah videos are awesome... watched them today and felt so much more at peace about my decision. Wishing the best to all that have had or are waiting to have surgery with Dr. Aceves.

You won't find better than Dr Aceves anywhere. I know it's a fair chunk of money, but the improvement to your health and quality of life are worth every last penny!

      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.
