I keep hearing that Dr. Aceves has special technique. Anybody know what is so different?

He use a 36 bougie and then oversews the staple line to a 32.

Now that's really interesting but confusing. Dr. Ramos Kelly uses a 32 and oversews as well. Does that mean the result would be less than 32 or am I oversimplifying things?

hmmmm...why would he do that? My surgeon used a size 32 period. I can totally understand sewing over the staple line as a precaution, but making it smaller after the fact doesn't make sense...just sayin wink.gif

I looked at this post because my friend is researching sleeve surgery in Mexico and I'm trying to get the 411 for her.

I believe because of the oversewing that it creates a smaller pouch. 97% of Dr Aceves patients lose all their excess weight within the first year so whatever he's doing it must be working.

As a patient of Dr. Aceves, I can confirm that what-ever he's doing, it works! I'm down almost 100lbs in 6 mos.

through all my reading of this website I have never seen anyone mentiong this before. I just emailed my facilitor to ask about Dr. Rod. However, what is the 40,36, or 32 that you are talking about.

I totally agree. I know he does the oversew, etc... but I can tell you that my stomach is something special. I can't eat chips/candy anymore - so that to me is a MIRACLE! My stomach just doesn't like it, I can't really explain why. Do I think this will happen with all Dr. A's patients? Absolutely not, but I know it did with me. I can't eat very much anyway, but to take those away I know I will make goal. Maybe not as fast as others here or in the sleeve world, but so what? I have absolutely no doubt at all I will get there.

Hi wareagle,

What are you asking? About the oversewing or the bougie sizes?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
