I've decided on Dr. Aceves and currently narrowing down the date and suddenly have become very nervous about the first few weeks after surgery. Would be great to fear from any and all Aceves patients what were your first few weeks like? I'd like to hear the good, the bad and the ugly Just trying to prepare myself.

THANKS!

Hi there - I'm at day 4 post op w/Dr. Aceves. Overall, the pre-op/hospital experience was quite comfortable. The entire staff was kind and quick to respond to any need that came up. Now that I'm home, my only concern is with the timeframe of the post-op diet Dr. Aceves requires. This is only because I'm finding it very difficult to get the 70 gr. clear liquid protein in, and we're supposed to be at that stage for 10 days. I have no worries about things once I'm into the full liquids stage, but I'm worried that I'll only be able to get maybe 40-45 gr. clear liquid protein in during this first stage, and what that might mean for my recovery. I'm posting here and there trying to get input, but I haven't resolved the issue yet. I will post more as time goes on, but I've been very happy with my decision to go to Dr. Aceves and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.
