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.

      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.
