Ok so today, yes I finally put my $500 deposit in the mail to Dr Aceves. I will be San Diego bound on November 19th surgery in Mexicali on the 22nd. I am sooo close yall. I am sooo exciited. I went from fearing my stomach being removed to...I cant wait to do the damn thing. Thanks to everyone on this forum you guys have made my decision easier. I can wait to be in the sleeve club. YEAH!!! YEAH!!!!!

Good for you, this is a great tool and will change your life. Keep us posted.

So thrilled for you! You are going to be so happy with the care you receive.

Congrats! You will do great!

Congratulations Kandy! I know you will be well cared for by Dr. Aceves and his team. I remember when I sent in my deposit, I felt tremendous relief, knowing that I was committed and Dr. Aceves was going to get this stupid band out of me and "fix" me with a VSG.

I'm now 25 days post-op and very close to feeling normal again. My strength is back (I climb 5 flights of stairs to work every day), my incisions are healed (just a little itchy), and I'm doing well getting my Protein drinks in without discomfort. Memories of that difficult first week are just a blurry memory now.

Now, I'm just anticipating my mushy foods! Since my surgery was a revision, I have to stay in each stage for 15 days, instead of 10. I want to chew so badly.....

I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you.

Thxs ya'll I so appreciate the support. @mims congrats on your success. You seem to be doing great. Much duces son your journey. I can't wait for the days to go as well. It will be here soon.
