Hi! I'm 27 (as of 4-22) and I am hoping to get my sleeve sometime in the next few months. I am looking to go to Mexico to have Dr. Aceves work his magic. :-) My job doesn't offer insurance so I'm on my own! I think it is great to have this surgery young so that we get the most out of life by being not only skinny but healthy!

I totally agree with you LapGyrl. I looked into Dr. Aceves too, but decided to go with someone else. I can't wait to jump-start a healthy lifestyle with this surgery. We're lucky that we are able to have it done. I'm paying for it myself too, and it's definitely difficult, but totally worth it for a better life.

I'm 27 and had my Vertical Sleeve done on March 22, 2010. My beginning weight was 250 and I'm 212 today, April 30, 2010. The surgery was really easy for me. I was feeling great the day after, it was like I never had anything done and my incision has healed very nicely. I used Dr. Wagner in St. Louis, MO. He performed the surgery with only one incision which was awesome. Oh and I have a very very tiny incision where I had my On-Q pain pump which I highly recommend. He gave me pain meds to take when I got home which I never needed. Please look at www.hoab.org if you are in the St. Louis, MO area. Heck look if you're not. He's a great surgeon.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
