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!

      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.
