Dr. Aceves stitches staples



Recommended Posts

Ok I am reading about some who get staples removed, stitches removed. What does Dr. Aceves do?

I want to make sure if I need to see my PCP that I have an appointment all set up.

VST has been so helpful to me.

It was so easy with Dr Aceves. No stitches, no staples. I came home with tape on my little incisions, with instructions to leave it on until it fell off. It took about 10 days to fall off.

Another great "user friendly" aspect of his program.

Dr. Aceves uses dissolvable stitches, like Cajun said they put tape over

the stitches and tell you not to take it off for any reason for ten days. When

I took the tape off the stitches were gone.

Anything else just let us know. I just had my surgery with Dr. Aceves on

Jan 25th.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
