Hi girls...

Dr. Aceves is not going to be in surgery that weekend March 12-14. He has a conference he is going to attend.

I am looking into the 19th now with 'Stuck'.

MlkPas - Still set on going local? If you do schedule for the 19th, let us know!

KRYSTL166 - I have the same price for march. :thumbup1:

I had my surgery with Dr. Aceves on Feb.9th and I received the best care I have ever had in any hospital. Dr. Aceves and his assistant Dr. Campos came in to see me many times each day. The hospital is incredibly clean. I crossed the border with an enhanced drivers license. You can use these if you drive across either the Canadian or Mexican border. You guys will do great.

I am a new member to this site but have been reading all your helpful posts. Reading this site helped me decide to have the gastric sleeve vs. the band which is what I had originally planned. Thank goodness I found out that it was an option before I was banded. I was really having doubts about the band and life with the band. No one in this area is yet doing the sleeve - most likely since it is not covered by most insurance companies yet. But I do know a few surgeons who are interested. And thank you for helping me find Dr Aceves. I just lined up my surgery and it will be in just 11 days on March 22nd!! I too will be traveling alone, flying into San Diego. I am hoping that it goes well and is not too painful as I have never had surgery before. Wish me luck.
