Anyone out there scheduled with Dr. Aceves on Monday, Sept. 28th? That's my BIG (or should I say small) day! I finally made up my mind. We leave on Saturday. I'm so nervous but I know this is the right decision. From what I have read Dr. Aceves is a wonderful Dr. and his staff is great too. Look forward to meeting some new friends and following our journey together.

Hi DonnainCalifornia

Hello Donna and welcome to the forum. I will be there on the 30th for pre-op. I will check in to say hello. It will be nice to meet you.

I will be coming from Las Vegas. Also, Lizzy M will be arriving on the 29th for sleeve on the 30th then KY.hen and Sue (not currently on this forum) will be joining us on the 30th for the sleeve on the 1st. Looks like we are taking over the ward! :thumbup: We are stronger in numbers....sounds like you will have a nice drive, how far is it?

I am having my surgery with Dr. Aceves on the 28th as well. We can toast each other with whatever pain meds they give us. I am really nervous so it will be great to know someone ahead of time. :001_unsure:

Sounds like Dr. Aceves' wing will be full with VSTers ... I think there are 8 rooms on that wing -- be sure to take pics and post them -- you'll be a larger group than Ruthi, Eyfura, CYates, and I (in June), and Bearded, SoontobeSkinny and Roseyandher music (in July) ... don't worry - the staff already knows we Gringos are crazy!

I didn't get to meet Eyfura while I was there. And once Vegas and Ruthi left, it was a lonely last day! I need to get down for my 3 month check-up before my passport expires, but work has just been sooooooooooo crazy.

Those of your traveling down, Dr. Aceves and his staff are fantastic! Good luck with the beginning of your journey.

Congrats to all of you! Dr. Aceves & his staff are wonderful! It's great that there will be so many of you there at the same time.
