Hi All!!!

So I've been a lurker for a while, and now I just wanted to post my experience thus far in my WLS journey.

Last Thursday, 4-22 I filled out some online forms for info about 3 different surgeons---two about 1 1/2 hours away from my hometown and one for Dr. Aceves in MX. And guess whose office responded almost immediately? Yup. Lucy sent me an e-mail with pricing info (literally 1/2 the cost of U.S. sleeve even with plane tickets) just 1 hr later. I have yet to hear from anyone else. It doesn't matter now, though. About 7:30 that evening i phoned Dr. Aceves' office expecting to get a voice message with office hours so that i could call back in the morning (it was 5:30 in MX) Well Lucy picked up and much to my surprise i was able to schedule my appt for 11th May!!! After reading all the positive info on this site and others about Dr. Aceves, I am completely confident about my decision to travel out of the states for the sleeve.

Now my only problem is this extreme case of IMPATIENCE, but this too shall pass, right? I feel like a prisoner waiting to get out of jail and start a new, better life. I'm almost dizzy with excitement and I'm completely enamored with the staff at Dr. Aceves' office, and i haven't met any of them. I can't imagine how i will feel after i actually go through my sleeve experience.

Many congrats on getting your date set, and keep us posted on your progress. The waiting is definitely torturous ! ! ! Hang in there, you'll be on the loser's bench in no time.

I had no idea it was that quick! Congratulations and good luck!

Kay! Hello and Welcome! I will be sleeved on May 10th by Dr. Aceves! I have also met another lady here recently who will also be sleeved on the 11th! So you will not be alone! If you have any questions, this is the place to be for sure! I understand the nerves and impatience, I have two different calendars that I am marking off each day for the countdown!

If you would like, send me a private message and we can exchange contact info. Are you bringing anyone with you? My Mom is traveling with me...

Yay, another sleeve buddy!

congrats on your date!! I also had offices that didn't reply for a week or longer. It was crazy!

you will be so happy! the sleeve is an amazing tool : )

Congrats on the quick date! I have been considering using Dr. Aceves too. I was looking into another doc in Mex but due to the unlimited amount of success stories at the hands of Dr. Aceves, he would be my first choice.

However, I dont think my family will be too keen on going to Mexico. Although I dont have any fears myself about going.
