Thank you so much, good info. I have not done any pre testing yet bc I wanted to go to Dr. Aceves. I have not had any trouble but the surg here, bc of my age wanted all these tests. I might still have my pcp get me a pul func test? but feel I will get a good eval the day before. I still wake up at night going over concerns, just told my daughter about the sleeve surg and she doesn't know about mex. I am so glad for all your help and everyone's sharing, so important to me.

I'm new to the discussion about the sleeve surgery and am in the process of going forward with the surgeon/hospital/pre-op journey and am a self pay. I really enjoy all the stories and information that everyone shares, they have been so helpful in my making the decision to go with the sleeve vs the lapband. The journey begins. I will meet with my personal physician next week and she has not been supportive of my wanting bariatric surgery, but will see how adament she is and if she will help me get medical clearance. Hope so. If not my bariatric surgeon has some doctors that will help. Thanks again for all your help. I will keep you posted.

Hi, I am in the pre op process and went to my surgeon locally to find out all I have to do pre-op. I am a self pay and 62yo, BMI 37, i believe, and he has said I have to have a pul func test, stress test, chest xray blood work and I know you went to Mexico to Dr Aceves. What tests did he order? I am totalling all this up and know that Dr. Aceves does some test included. Can you please tell me what he did and if you thought it was thorough? I am really leaning to Dr. Aceves but my husband is concerned about my going to a Mexican doctor/hospital.
Love all the great support from everyone but since I am older than most, I saw your age. Thank you so much for any info.

Great pics! Looks like a meeting of sleeve sisters. The best to you on your journey. Mine is not scheduled yet, but hopefully before the end of the year. Love your posts. -
I'm so glad you are doing well. Don't know if you posted somewhere else, but what was your BMI before your surg? I am a 38 BMI, and weigh 222. I only hope to do as well as you, and as quickly! Good for you!!!
