Thank you! He's definitely who I want! I'm not going to risk it. I'm certain there are other wonderful surgeons, but I feel the most comfortable with Dr. Aceves.

It's $250/month for 17 months and the 18th month is approx $120-ish. There's no penalty to for paying it off early either.

It is in house financing. Nina will help you start the process. They do not run a credit check as it is in house.

Dr. Aceves might be a possibility if my insurance doesn't cover it ... He is only 3.5 hrs away from Phoenix :)

Does anyone know how Dr. Aceves schedules surgery? Is it far out?

I believe you can book anytime. You just ask Nina if he's available the day you want to fly in. :)

      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.
