I'm Here In San Diego....tues Gastric Sleeve Surgery With Dr Aceves! Yea!



Recommended Posts

I remember being so nervous and excited all at once. Dr. A told me I had already did the hardest part, (making the decision and being there) and the rest would be easier. He was right about the surgery, it was so fast and smooth and the recovery too. I went back to work the next day after getting home and was up on my treadmill within a few days. I'm not sure I would call the learning to eat all over again easy but I only stressed over the surgery. You'll do great and they will take such good care of you. Whatever you want or need, they are right there for you. Best advise.....get up and walk as much as you can. It helped so much with the recovery. I walked all the time, when there wasn't someone in the halls to walk with, I would walk around my room or out to the parking lot. Just keep moving, no races, just stroll and you'll feel so much better, promise!

BEST of LUCK for a quick recovery.

Your date is finally here! I remember not too long ago, you were reading my post-surgery updates. Now, here I am 7 weeks out and feeling 100%. I'm down 23 pounds and haven't found a food yet, that upsets my stomach. Dr. Aceves even approved me for 1 cup/day of my beloved Starbucks Soy Lattes, as long as they don't give me acid reflux (they don't!) I think I almost missed coffee more than food over the past several weeks.

I found that I experienced all of my nerves prior to arriving in Mexicali. Once I got to the hospital and met Dr. Aceves, I felt remarkably calm through the surgery and recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I remember as well and now the time has come. Glad your doing so well. Thanks for the support.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
