I am so so sad. This wonderful man saved my life! RIP Dr. Aceves. I can not thank you enough for being a part of my life.

Thanks everyone! yes I had my plastics in Mexico also. I am now 3 years out as of yesterday and holding steady between 139-144 pounds....Sooo happy!

I will be three years out in January. If you have any questions or just need some encouragement please feel free to contact me )

I had TT with Lipo, Lift and implants. Honestly my breasts did not hurt at all. Maybe pressure pain but that was it. So worth it!

You will be so happy with Dr. Aceves! He is the best doctor I have ever met. I will be 3 years out in January..Best decision I have ever made! Congratulations!

Hi who was your Doctor and where did you go.

The first month is a little rough...Just keep your eye on the prize and you will make it thru just fine! I promise it gets easier and easier. I am 2.5 years out and it is the best decision I have ever made! Stay Strong!

I had my surgery 1/5/11...so I am 2.5 years out!

That is so funny..I used to hate eggs..the smell even made me sick. Now I love them! Everything tastes so different to me. I have noticed the texture of food a lot more now. Like I love the taste of bananas but the texture now is hard to deal with. The sleeve is a funny thing...but AWESOME!

Just fill up with Veggies and lean Protein. Stay away from those nasty carbs. If I get to the high part of my range...143-144 I cut back on the carbs. I sip more Water and go right back down. I have in my mind not to go above 145 and do not let myself get under 138. Gives me some breathing room and I feel really good here. Carbs are the devil - lol

Great Job! You look Awesome!

Same here...never ment never. I had to self pay. They would not even cover the Excess skin removal after I lost the weight loss. I was so sick from it and they were pretty much :sucks to be you". I hate insurance companies!

Congratulations! You look wonderful! I honestly feel the mental benefits of the surgery are just as good as the physical ones! The best thing I could have ever done for myself!

I had my surgery 1/5/11 with Dr. Aceves. He is such a great surgeon and man. He really cares and wants you to succeed. All of his staff is professional and wonderful. It was the best life decision I have ever made. I went back for plastic surgery with Dr. bello and he even came to see me. He sat down with me and we chatted like friends. He even stopped in right after my plastic surgery while I was in recovery. If you have any specific questions.. please feel free to contact me! dbanning2@atlanticbb.net

I had my sister with me for most of the time. She had to come back early though. She took most of my luggage so it was a little easier. It was not easy by myself. If someone could even fly in to just help you at the airport and to get home...You wont regret spending the money. I had Tummy Tuck, muscle tied, Lipo, Breast lift and implants.

I went with Aceves because I was so impressed by his numbers and successes. Best decision I ever made!

Yes certain things bring it on for sure..Asparagus and any stringy meats are a big no no for me. No more pot roast or BBQ. Some days I can eat grilled chicken and other days not. I honestly think my digestion is better on some days. I am 2,5 years out and I know the things I can not have and stay away from them. I still have those things that sneak up on me though.

You look fabulous!! Way to go! Congratulations!

I am 2.5 years out. I am actually below goal and have been for over a year. I gained back about 5 pounds (On purpose) and feel great at this weight!

I have to admit...I do at least twice a week. Some days I can eat certain things and then I have it a couple days later and NOPE...

Oh it is soo much fun! I still find it hard to walk thru the mall and remember I can go in any store I want to. I do have problems the other way now...some store do not carry my size and I have to shop in juniors. It makes buying work pants a little difficult but....I would not trade it for the world!

Have you called your doctor? I did not have much pain at all. The only thing that hurt was the gas. You should really go in and see him.

Good Luck! The first day of an all new you!

I went with Aceves..He and his team were amazing! I could not of had better care. $8750 in 1/2011.

Congrats! Looks great!
