Anyone scheduled for 11/4 w/ Dr. Aceves in Mexicali?



Recommended Posts

I scheduled my surgery for November 4th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali! I am SO excited but so nervous.. I was actually more nervous about not being able to get the 3 weeks off work! Is there anyone that will be traveling to Mexicali to see Dr. Aceves at this time? I feel very confident about the choice of my surgeon. I have have done so much research on him, and my wife has spent countless hours up at night researching everything she can about Dr. Aceves, Almater Hospital, and Mexicali.

I have not told my Mom yet.. at first I thought it would be best not to, but if anything ever happened there at least she would know where I was.

My wife will be traveling with me... THE most supportive, unconditionally loving, and giving person I have ever met in my life. I could not have a better partner and love in all my life.

If anyone needs any support or someone to talk with, I am here!

Best of luck to you. Having a great support system makes such a difference. My hubby and family were cautiously supportive too. Mx threw them for a loop.

My mom went with me and she was taken aback in a positive way with my surgical team and everything else at Almater.

Thank you ladies... 11/4 cannot come soon enough! I don't know how some of these women go to something like this alone... that takes a lot of guts! I am so excited for this change.. I have been down on myself for too long, and luckily I don't have too far to go: I am 5'5 and 196lbs. I would love to lose 50-60 pounds!

Congratulations to both of you lovely ladies on your weight loss!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
