Well, one year ago I was in Mexicali just beginning this life-changing journey. I have not yet met my goal, and I am 0.2 (!!!) lbs away from Onederland, but I would never go back. I am still confident that I am not through losing, but if this is as good as it gets, I can live with it for the rest of my life. I am confident it will be much better than if I had not had this surgery done.

My blood pressure is very well controlled. I am still taking my med because my daughter doesn't want me to "take any chances". I am off all my diabetic medications and my fasting sugars in the morning are in the 70's and 80's. I have had to learn how to walk like a normal person, but it has really helped my self confidence.

I encourage everyone thinking about getting sleeved not to let uncertainty and comments of outsiders cloud your decision making. Be bold and go for the gold. Love to all...Kathe

Great job! Always good to see another successful Aceves sleever.

Congrats!! You will finish the race, I have no doubts!

That's awesome. Congrats on a great year. Hope you get to onederland soon!

Hi, I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves on 4/13/11... I must have met you or passed you on our walk in the hallway. My room was across the hall from the nurses station. I am happy to say I am down 67lbs and below my personal goal of 150lbs I am happy to hear you are doing well too! Take care and keep it going!

CONGRATS! I love hearing stories like this. This is success!

Congrats! You'll make it to goal, no worries. Keep at it and the weight will continue to fall off.

I love Dr. Aceves!
