Wow, I will be 12 weeks out friday and am only down 38lbs, ur NOT a slow loser...hang in there!

I was sleeved in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves. I am 4 weeks out and down 17.5 lbs. Is this normal or slow?

Yes I live in kc (north of the river) please let me know when you meet again :-)

Im in kc, was sleeved 9/28 by dr. Aceves in mexico

Glad to hear ur doing well! I dont get to go home until tomorrow

No problem, good luck with ur surgery :-)

Np! I woke up in the recovery room freezing and nauseated but with no pain.

Sure! I have some gas pain in my shoulder that I have been trying to walk off. I am working on little sips of apple juice and gatorade. The most discomfort I have is around this damn drain lol, but it is bearable. Im excited to know that the drain comes out tomorrow. I have been walking, watching tv, and dozing off here or there all day. I did almost get sick after my antibiotic it tasted like banana chalk, but I was quickly given anti nausea meds that took it away. Btw I was only given antibiotics because they found that I had a utI from my urine sample

I was sleeved yesterday (28th) too. I hope ur doing well! I keep hearing that today is the worst and we willl feel better everyday from here on out

I was just sleeved by dr. aceves this morning and posting from almater hospital. I am feeling great so far and im glad I did this for myself. Im officially on the losers bench

I thought dr aceves is in mexicali

I am getting sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 09/28, so I will be there when you get there

Thank you all for the suggestions, it is much appreciated

Thanks everyone, I feel better about going (I am going alone which makes me a tiny bit nervous). Is anyone going the end of September?

I have been watching this site getting helpful information for months and just haven't signed up. Welp...I got my surgery date today with Dr. Aceves. I will be going to Mexicali to be sleeved on Sept 28th and I'm super excited~! This site is awesome for people who don't have a very strong support system at home, thank you so much I had a consult with a local surgeon but decided to cancel and be self pay because Dr. Aceves appears to be a much more experienced surgeon.... Can anyone tell me what to expect as far as pain and pain management?
