Going to Dr. Aceves solo this summer (June-ish) and wanted to know who else is going! (May be to early to ask but I'm excited)! Anyone else going solo that wants to meet up? What should I look out for? Preparation?

Yes' date=' he's pretty expensive but I can't think of anyone else I'd entrust my life to other than him.[/quote']

Right. That's kind of what it all comes down to with me as well. I worry myself to death about everything, and he puts my mind at ease. I don't make a lot of money, but this is something I need to save up for and invest in. I've have yet to read a bad experience from anyone tht has went to him.

I had surgery with Dr Aceves and went alone. There was one person from this forum who went at the same time I did and several others in various stages of recovery. We were all in the same wing. There's a post somewhere in this called Dr Aceves, what to take that really can be used by anyone traveling to Mexico.

I will say I had a great experience. I really felt like a VIP the whole time I was there and can't say enough good things about Dr Aceves, Dr Campos, and the rest of the staff. I saved for a long time to have my VSG through him, and I feel it was worth every penny. I lost 75# in five months. I'm sure it was partly due to my snug sleeve. If I can answer any questions, feel free to PM me.

I too was sleeved by Dr. Aceves, it was an excellent experience! Of course I didn't feel it was too costly, considering its almost 20k in the states. I understand Tiajuana is cheaper, but I was looking for great care at a great price, instead of cheap.

I'm having surgery April 1st with Dr. Aceves. I really do feel like I am getting the whole package with Dr. Aceves and his team! Yes... the money aspect was difficult...but having complications would also be financially devastating and I think that his level of skill will give me the best chance to come through without problems with my revision from band to sleeve. I'll look forward to hearing about your experience!

I really want to go with Aceves and so does my husband but the cost is making it difficult. I too am revising from the band and want someone who really knows what he's doing and it sounds like he is it! I have half of his cost saved and really want to have this done in June. Decisions. Decisions.

I cannot decide between Aceves and Garcia, but leaning more towards Aceves because it seems he has more experience and its in a real hospital.

I want to go by June 3rd but I haven't even called yet to schedule. I am trying to get my down payment together.

I've also gone back and forth with Dr. Garcia and Dr. Aceves. It's a hard decision to make! That's for sure... Especially when money is a factor.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
