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?

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!

Allison

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.

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....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
