I know that Dr. Aceves paid in advance to advertise on this site.

Where is his advertisement? He had an ad on here and it looks like it has been removed. Why was his ad removed when it was already paid for?

have no idea.....but it would be good to know why. goodluck on your search.:ohmy:

I see both of you ladies had your sleeve done with Dr. Aceves. I'm scheduled with him on July 1 and I was wondering how your experiences were down in Mexicali. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Is there anything special I should know, anything I should plan on taking that they don't mention in their instructions? Any suggestions for something to do the night before surgery? It'll just be my aunt and I, and July 1 is her birthday, so we'd like to do something fun the night before.

Thanks for your help!

If you are having surgery on July 1st, then you will be at the hotel the night before. The hotel is very nice.

Dr. Aceves is wonderful and you have nothing to worry about. If they sent you the list of things to take, then you are all set. If you have a lap top, I would take that too.

I'm slated for June 30. I"m sure we'll meet. I"m 6-4 and bloated, you'll know me right away!:biggrin0:

Haha, I'll keep an eye out for ya, Cavyguy. I'm 5'8" and have short blonde hair and a giant butt. Hard to miss me

For you going to see Dr. Aceves, there is a Yahoo group site called Dr. Aceves' Bandsters (altough most of the posters are sleevesters) that has a lot of useful information.

I also had my surgery with Dr. Aceves and it was a very good experience. I was actually there during the aftershocks of the earthquake...so I'm sure your experience will be a little less "bumpy" than mine I traveled to and from mexicali alone and didn't have anyone with me during my stay...and I was perfectly fine....

Some tips:

1. as soon as you can...WALK WALK WALK around the hospital...it will help with your pain and relieving gas pain you will have.

2. Pack a heating pad....it helps with gas pain in your shoulders...they have them but just in case...

3. Have them put a fan in your room right away....you'll appreciate the air.

4. The hospital does have intnernet so a lap top can be nice.

5.Sip all day long to stay hydrated.

Have a safe and healthy journey....
