Im not sure why people say you dont need it for 50 or 60 pounds... I have done everything BUT surgery to lose weight... weight watchers, Jenny Craig, nutri system, personal trainer, visalus shakes. I am only 5'5 and have no co-morbites, but every woman in my family is obese to morbidly obese, and for me this is more of a preventative measure. I have no problem eating healthy, but my genetics really suck, and I'm not going to risk going down the road of all the other women in my family. Its not pretty!

i had 5 incisions; bellybutton (thanks goodness) a tiny one right between my breasts where my bra sits, one on the left and one on the right of my belly button. i am almost a month out and they are healing wonderfully! i will start rubbing bio oil on them as soon they completely heal shut to minimize the scarring (even though they are all very small). i will take a few scars to be svelte and sexy any day!!!

Im 5 days out from being sleeved by dr. Aceves, and I couldn't be happier!!! I feel great!

I second his awesomeness, as well as his staff's! I was treated better there than I have been at ANY facility in America! I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 11/4/13

i am 5 days out from surgery, and while i realize i'm still on liquids, should i have had a BM at all during this time?

holy moses... I am 4 days out and I am always freezing! I live in Sacramento, CA, so the weather is still nice here and my wife turned up the heater to 76 for me, but no matter what, I feel like my teeth are chatttttteeeerrriiiinnnngggg! Anyone else experience this?

Im at the hospital right now with my iv in sitting un my room, another girl went first, and then who knows! They are going to be bringing me versed to relax me, and the technician is in my room fixing the tv! Under1star, no pain! Just a little pinch from the iv. Just relaxing before!! I will try to type you all something as soon as I'm out!

Thanks so much! I am so nervous.. I am not worried about the surgery as much as I am the aftermath.. hoping I stay healthy and don't get severe acid reflux or gerd.

Will anyone be with dr. Aceves these days? Let me know!

I had the sleeve done October 12, 2013 with Dr Aceves, the experience was excellent. He is amazing and the staff and hospital are great. Very clean hospital and staff take excellent care of you. Dr Aceves visits every day, most days twice a day. I have had no issues at all. Down 14# sinc e surgery. Good luck

People tell me the same thing, that they don't think I need it! even though that's a nice thing to say, I guess I must carry my weight well (in my dreams) because I am 5'5 and 200 lbs... that's not healthy! I have gained 25 pounds in 2 years and I know it's just downhill from here, especially considering my genetics. I say to hell with all those people... we need to do what's right for us! I haven't told my mom yet... she's going to flip her lid when she finds out I'm going to Mexico. The woman has barely made it out of CA in all her 50 years lol
