Surgery with Dr.Aceves 2/12. Anybody else?

Hi All,

I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves on February 12th. I am contemplating going by myself and was wondering if anybody else would be there the same time. I would never have considered it, but after reading about everybody's experiences here on this forum, I feel fairly good about going by myself. I would have to pay the plane ticket and stuff for a friend, so I'm thinking I can do it by myself.

Wow, Dreaming, it would be awesome if we could go together! I haven't paid my deposit yet either. I am still trying to figure out the money situation as well. I am planning on flying over on the 11th for my preop stuff and then have the surgery on the 12th. I can't remember the exact price they quoted me, but I will look and get back to you.

Wow, this is really great!:biggrin0:

it would be great if you guys could go together. but if you get to go by yourselves dont worry cause everything will be just fine. i went by myself and i had no setbacks at all. besides everyone really takes good care of you.

Hi, I am scheduled for Feb 15, arriving on the 14th for pre-op tests. Perhaps we will cross paths!

Cheers,

Margo

Hey ladies,

I'm also interested in getting sleeved around the same time. I haven't set a scheduled date, however, I have spoken to one of the coordinators. I'm trying to decide on funding, so that's my hold up. I was also told that the special was $8750 and the regular price is $9500. So hopefully when I make my decision, I will get the price of the special.

I WISH I got the Jan special price... alas, it was $9,500 for me. (Let you know if any of you get the deal!)

I've now paid my deposit and everything is confirmed for the 15th - can't wait! I've been ordering Vitamins etc and trying to make sure that I have everything I need - still need a leisure bra as my underwires will be too painful post-op on the plane.

XOX,

Margo

I tried to get Nina to give me the January special. But she said she could not. She did give me a deal for $9000. I just got approved for my loan today and am super excited! I feel like I am so unprepared though reading about everybody else's preparations. I was not told to buy vitamins. What vitamins do I need?? I have been researching protein supplements though and I have also started working out regularly. (I am totally panicked that I will be all flabby after weightloss.) Wow, it looks like four of us will be there at the same time!
