I have a lot of information about Dr. Aceves and all of his credentials. It should be in the surgeon forum but if you can't find it, I can email it to you. Just send me a message with your email address.

I had Dr. Aceves, because his record is so good. The hospital is first class, too. I don't know anything about Dr. Kelly, so I can't comment there. I also had some dental work done while I was there - two crowns. I also stayed with a very friendly and helpful Mexican family that charged half the price of a hotel. Email me if you want any particulars on this. - Steve

I would highly recommend Dr Kelly - and work with his personal assistant Trish who will be on the ground in TJ with you during your stay! Have you spoke with Dr Kelly? I would ask to do that if you have not. He speaks perfect English. YeS he is a Christian, so is Trish. They both held my hand and said a prayer with me prior to surgery (my request). I now consider Trish a personal friend and just exchanged emails with her this week! She follows up on my progress periodically.

I am 7 months out ant I am 9.9 lbs from my goal! Love my sleeve and not a single complication. You can read about my experience on my blog page here on VST. If you have additional questions send me a message and I will try to answer what I can! Best wishes on your journey!

her email is <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">smoothgospel@hotmail.esor I can have her call you if you give me your contact info.. name # - you can private message me this if you want.

If you email her please let her know Kim Lemke gave you her email - so she knows how you got her personal email. I would recommend working directly with her if you have not already scheduled. You will love her!

Thank you so much,

Isn't Dr. Aceves Christian as well? I assumed since I read he has a large picture of Jesus with his hand on the surgeon's hand. Anyone know? This would make me feel better since I am Christian as well.

Yeah, and Jesus wasn't wearing gloves or a hair net either. I guess all that bacteria got to go straight to heaven.

Seriously? Would you also poke fun at a Muslim, Jew, or Buddhist's faith?

Sorry, if I offended, Newday. I'm sure that Dr. Aceves is Catholic, but I didn't ask him.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
