Hello. I am considering getting a VSG with Dr. Aceves in Mexico....am new here and have found some info on him, but nothing recent...I am trying to schedule a date around the end of July...anyone else going around that time? Have some tips/encouraging advice for me? I had the Lap-Band put in by Dr. Ortiz--was great--but the band slipped, so now I have wasted about $8,000, (because-of course-I gained all the weight back plus some!) so I am leery about this procedure. I think it is better because of no chance of slippage, but if anyone is willing, who has gone to Dr. Aceves, to give me a little "push" I would appreciate it!!!

I live in the Portland area.... I am hoping to hear from loan office soon!!!

I haven't had VSG yet, but had the same problem just this last weekend. I over-did it on the salt (beef jerky, french fries, diet coke,etc.. and it was hot) and my legs and feet went balloon crazy---started to hurt a little bit even! Talking with the doc is always the best route, but I have no insurance so I went to the local pharmacy and picked up a diuretic and started drinking LOTS of water--took a few days, but I can actually see my feet and ankle bones now! Good luck to you!

I think that whatever Doctor feels right for you is who you should contact for your surgery. Suzanne feels very confident in her choice, and others feel very confident in their choice. Who wouldn't want to pay less for the same thing? Who doesn't love a bargain? But if you choose your surgeon ONLY because of the cost, then you are doing yourself an injustice. I think that is what Suzanne was trying to say...? Go with your gut and trust God to lead you to the right Doc for you!

Suzanne--thanks so much for your "push"! I am still waiting for approval for loan--then I am outta here! I noticed you were a fellow Oregonian--don't see much of us on here--must be because we are supposed to be one of the "healthiest" states...ugh...not for me! But maybe soon--looking to have surgery first week of August--need to get it done before school starts! Thanks again for your encouraging words!!!

Thank you--makes me feel better about asking--it can't hurt and can only help! :-)

Okay--cheating a little bit--am 39 currently, but will be 40 in Sept. Trying to get everything together to get sleeved by Dr. Aceves...Am married to a wonderful man (thin), and have the 3 most amazing children ever: 16, 10, and 9....am looking forward to spending my 40th birthday lighter and thinner than I am now!!! And looking forward to the next 40 years being better than the first 40 years!!!

Hi! I am new here too--I have had the same concerns and have prayed and prayed to hear if this is what God will allow me to do. I have felt very apprehensive about the surgery and spending all that money, but I truly believe that God will be with me, and He knows that this is what I need to do to live a better life for Him. I am wanting to ask my surgeon and medical team to pray with me before the surgery, but I don't know if I will...I don't even know if he is a Christian...I don't want to make anyone feel awkward! Trying to get everything together to have my surgery on the 27th! Yeah! If it is God's will, it will be done! Good luck to you all and God Bless!

Thanks--and I did!

Thank you! Like I said--I went to Dr. Ortiz for the band and didn't have as many concerns as I am having now...I think it may just be the fact that they actually CUT my stomach off--which, yes, is a good thing---but is really scary too!
