Hi! I FINALLY have it all together and am going to Dr. Aceves!!!! Flying down on Thursday, Aug. 4th and having surgery the 5th! Anyone else out there going the same time? Close to it? Would love to meet up and talk down there!!!!

SOOOOOOO excited even though the hubby isn't quite as on-board as I would have hoped--same ol' worries as every other loved one--what if you die? What if you have horrible complications? What if..? What if..? I have to admit that they are the same questions I pose, but I HOPE AND PRAY that they stay "What ifs" and don't turn into reality!!!

Yes, I am flying down tomorrow for surgery on Friday the 29th with Dr. Aceves. I may just miss you. I will try to see you and see how you are doing though if I can. I am staying in town until the next Thursday. Best of luck to the both of us!

You will be in good hands. I was just down there 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Every single positive thing past patients have said on these boards I found to be true. Dr. Aceves is very professional and caring. His entire team is awesome. I am so thankful I didn't give into other's fears and back-out. I have lost 18lbs already and feel really good. Cathi

Congrats on your weight loss!!! Thanks for the info--woke up this morning and went "oh crap--what did I do??" Trying to get over my fears--but have already bought plane ticket so I'm going!!!

Keep up the good work!!

I am going on 19 days since my surgery my situation was very similar to yours...hubby not happy ab surgery...I'm. Happy with my surgery and experience...it was positive..

I just had my sleeve done on Friday the 29th by Dr, Aceves. I am doing very well and I had some complication coming into surgery that were handled well. I have just been driven to San Diego by Ernesto to wait until my flight out tomorrow morning. My whole trip was nine days,- the last three in the home of a local, private family that treated me like a baby ; cooking broths - fresh, making Jello, mixing Protein drinks; fawning over me, TV, internet. I even got a haircut gratis by the mother, Carmen. And a good one too. Half the price of staying in a hotel - only 50$ includes everything. If you are interested e-mail me and I will put you in touch with them. They only have one room to let, so it's first come, first serve. I feel sad now having to leave such new friends. Helped me to a dentist for for some crown work. Ernesto knows where it is so he will pick you up there when you have to return to San Diego.
