Oh, Erika! Praise God you will do great!! You are probably now on the new side of life! Congratulations! I have mine, two weeks from today! Best of the best to you!!! Let me know how it goes!!!! Praise God!! Patti

I have two friends who had the sleeve by Dr. Aceves and they LOVE him. they say the hospital is so clean and everyone is so wonderful. I also have a friend who is a doctor in Seattle and she researched the sleeve like crazy, went to a doctor up there and he said if he was going to have a sleeve he would go to Dr. Aceves. She had it done by him, because she needed to stay up there. But you can't get a better recommendation than from another doctor I think. I am so excited, I go down two weeks from today! My new life starts then!! I shaved my head two months ago for cancer research fundraising, so I started a new life then now I am adding to it with a better body!! Woo hoo!!!! good luck to all of us. God is taking care of us!!! Happy Memorial day

I am looking forward to it so much. Thanks for the encouragement!

The same to you! I know this is a good decision, it has happened so fast. None of the waiting for months for surgery! We will have to let each other knwo how things go!!!

I am having my revision done on June 13th by Dr. Aceves. Anyone else scheduled for that day?? I am so excited!!

Thank you so much! I have learned so much the last couple of days. I may be having my revision on June 13th. My gosh it is going so fast. I am excited to not have to deal with all the issues that my band has given me. Thanks again for the information

Me too, Newbie. I had a lap band in 07 and it feels good here.

Hi, I had a band in 2007. I lost a lot of weight. I have gained most of it back now. A friend suggested I come here and look into the sleeve. After reading all the posts, I am finding that all the "odd" pains, feelings and twinges I have had since my band are normal. I get pains where the port is, it hurts sometimes, food gets stuck, I am hungry at night, etc. etc. etc. I thought it was just me! My port is crooked and fills were AWFUL, it hit my saddle and my jeans at times, my gosh I had no idea that other people were going through the same things. I don't think I have ever admitted that there is daily "oddities" with the band. Thank you all for the posts! You have made my day today. So I have looked into Dr. Aceves in Mexico where two pf my friends have gone for the sleeve. I am looking to find a less painful tool in my weight loss. I didn't know other were going through the same things
