I went to Dr. Aceves. I like him a great deal. You said you don't live far, are you in AZ or CA? If you are in AZ we meet monthly for lunch and such, many of his Phx patients. You are welcome to join us. We are due for a bandster lunch anyway.

I was correcting some misinformation recently and I'll direct you to that post, it gives some info you might be interested in regarding Dr. A:

There is a group in CA and they are Dr. A patients. I don't know exactly where in CA but they post on Dr. A's message board. Are you posting there? If not, you should. It's a great place to meet others in your area.

Ahhh, my ID. I used to be BubbleButt then I lost my butt so I changed it to WasABB. :)

This might be rude...but I am a self pay and wanted to know the difference between going Mexico and having it in the states. Would someone mind letting me know how much it costs. A priviate message would be fine....

Thanks Tons!!

Dr. Aceves in Mexico is 7800. All the places I have researched in California were between 16,000 and 21,000. It was not only the price, I have talked to a few people on line and via phone and this is the decision I have chosen to go with in February:clap2:

My surgery was on 11/17/07 with Dr. A and I have had no problems since. I have lost 33 lbs and lots of inches!! The hospital is sooo clean and everyone there is wonderful. I am going in for a fill sometime this month. If you have any questions please ask!

Thank you everyone that has posted here about Dr. A. I continue to read and see the same positive comments about him, which helps to calm me down a great deal. I will go to Dr. A's site and find the ca group. Thanks for that suggestion.

      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.
