I was very candid and open. I never defended my choice. I did share the info I discovered in my research. My family, friends, and coworkers have been wonderful support.

I went to Dr. Aceves and was immensely pleased. That said, Dr. Garcia's reputation on here is great. His patients love him. I understand Florence Hospital is a fully equipped hospital but cannot say for sure. You should check with some recent patient accounts of the hospital.

Welcome! I hope your experience with Dr. Aceves is as excellent as mine was. Keep us posted!! :-)

Don't forget food withdrawal.

I'm glad your experience was so positive. It's detailed accounts like this which help other patients research and make decisions.

Here on the Mx forum it hit the tab *stickies* is a web site link that has a list of surgeons that I believe have been reviewed by VST. I went with Dr. Aceves and was treated amazingly well. He is on that list. Many on here have used Dr. A. Ortiz at the OCC and are pleased with there care. Dr. Corvola trained many of the younger surgeons that are so popular now. Dr. Pompa... I was not sleeved by her but a lady who was sleeved by her was in Mexicali the same time I was to have her sleeve fixed by Dr. Aceves. She posted her story on here. Sleeved Twice is the title I think...

Best of luck! A safe flight and surgery. Let us know how it goes.

My spending has potential to be a problem. If I let it.

The day after my surgery I showered and wore my own clothes... I danced in my head. Now that I'm home, I dance in the shower! Lol

Make it a yacht. Might as well rock it!
