Hi Elle, how does the 5 day pouch test work?

Thanks to all for your kind words… yes, I am VERY happy, I had lost weight so many times before, but for some strange reason, this time I feel different, extremely happy and just feeling great every day!

I use an app called PIC COLLAGE

What issues have you had to deal with?

Congratulations!!! You look great!!! I too just hit my 9 months, I've lost 112 lbs so far, from a size 22 to a size 6 Attached pictures with my surgeon, the day I left the hospital and the one on the right is last thursday. Happy Holidays and may God bless you all!! MV

Sip, me operaron el 11 de Marzo de bypass.. te mando mensaje ok?

Me!

I am a patient of Dr. Aceves. I had gastric bypass in March 2013, I am down 112 lbs and couldn't be happier. I am local so I have been blessed with having all my follow up appointments with him and Dr. Campos, they are simply the best. Care in the hospital is beyond excellent, had I not been plugged to an iv, I would've just felt like I was on vacation in a nice hotel. They both check on you 2-3 times a day, nurses are in there within seconds after calling them. All has been like a dream to me. I had minimum pain, I was actually off pain meds by the time I got home and did not need them, no nausea, no vomiting, no headaches, really, just like a dream. One thing I love about their team is that they do not limit themselves to surgery, they hold your hand through the journey of reaching your goal and keeping it. I have gotten into the habit of running because of Dr. Aceves insisting I could do it, I keep telling him he has higher expectations of me, than I have for myself and he has proved he was right many times. I love the encouragement and constant support. If I had to do this all over again, I would go to him and his team in a heartbeat, they have by far exceeded my expectations in so many ways. I recommend them to anyone thinking about having WLS, they will change your life FOREVER!, I am forever grateful to them. I have nothing but good memories about the surgery, even in the OR, recovery room, etc, they always make you feel safe and taken care of, I actually woke up to a nurse sitting by my side, watching me breath and waiting for me to open my eyes. If you choose Dr. Aceves, you will NEVER regret it. Attached a before/current picture. Left is the day I went home from the hospital, and right is last thursday, 9 months post op!

WOW!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

I only regret not doing it sooner It is the best decision I have made in my entire life. You will love the new you, make sure you follow the program and your surgeon's and nut's recommendations. I feel like I have the best surgeon and nut, but so does everyone else, I do follow their rules and everything has been fantastic. I had no complications, no pain, no nausea, no nothing.. All has been wonderful. Keep us posted on your progress and best wishes on your journey I will keep you in my prayers.

Yeiiii, you will do great and you will love the new you!! I still remember my surgery day like it was yesterday (I am almost 9 months post op). My prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery

Congratulations!!! You look amazing

Hi guys!! It's been a long time since I've posted here and just wanted to share my progress with all of you. I had my surgery on 3/11, my starting weight was 275 and I now weigh 167 lbs. I am beyond happy with the decision I made in having this surgery, it has with no doubt changed my life. I had dieted my whole life but this time it is definitely different, not only because I cannot over eat, but because of the support I have from my surgeon's team, it is like they are holding my hand the whole time. I have gotten into running and I feel great. Attached is a before/after pic, the one on the left is me last year (nov 2012) and the one on the right is exactly one year later. My first appointment with my surgeon was Nov 26, so it'll be a year next week since I began this journey. I hope everyone is doing great.

WOW!!! Amazing progress!! Congratulations, keep up the good work!

I had my surgery done with Dr. Aceves, I am a bypass patient and can definitely say he is THE BEST, him and his team are all great. One very good friend of mine had a revision surgery from lapband to sleeve a couple of months after my surgery and is also very happy with the results. I live in Mexicali so I am blessed to have my follow ups with him and Dr. Campos on a monthy basis, I can assure you, you will not regret choosing him as your surgeon.
