Aceves Patients: Surgery Schduling...

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

Hi all who were sleeved or revised from Dr. Aceves.

Quick question: When you decided to go with Aceves, how long were you scheduled for? 4 weeks? 2 Months? Longer?

I'm mostly curious of those who liked to get in as soon as possible, and rather not if you purposely scheduled months in advance.

Thanks in advance!! You all have been a blessing.

I called in late June to book for August and August was basically empty. So at the most, about a month's wait - I'm sure I would've been able to get in faster, but had some stuff going on on my end til August.

I scheduled 8-12-10 around the first of July with no problem at all. Ended up having to cancel that date due to knee injury/surgery, but am hoping to reschedule sometime in September. You should have no problem...

I called first week in Jan., asked for a date around the 20th and was scheduled for the 19th. I think they try to accomidate for your schedule if at all possible.

Good luck! Your going to love them, they are wonderful and caring people.

Great thanks so much! This is good news, and definitely one in the favor of Aceves.

I got in as soon as I wanted. I can't remember the exact timing. I emailed back the forms they sent me and we decided on a date. It seems like it was about 2 weeks later.

Are you changing your mind back to Aceves rather than Cirangle?

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

LOL Dais, you know... it is a really hard decision. I am trying to make the best decision for all kinds of issues I'm having. He right now is in the front running. There are so many factors in play right now.

Especially now since Cirangle had to reschedule me for even two more weeks until my consultation, that did not help his cause.

I'm just covering all my bases before taking that final step. If it means anything at all, I'm actually going out of my way to get passports, etc. Just in case I say, "Lets do this", I will be prepared to go.

You have been super SUPER helpful with Aceves information!! (((hugs)))

I wanted a "last week of august" date because then I get a "free" extra day off for labor day the following monday. I got 8/30/10...whoo hoo!

I booked with them on 5/26. My surgery was 5 days later on 5/31. I asked for a 'soon as possible date' because we were going on vacation the end of June and I wanted my incisions to be healed.

I called in December for a Jan date and the only thing that slowed me down was getting my passport and loan money. They told me they could get me in earlier than I asked for.

Good Luck

Great thanks all for your responses! I have been in contact with his coordinators and I was thinking mid to late September. They said that would be no problem at all. No exact date as yet since Dr. A still needs to look over my medical forms.

Good luck everyone!!
