Dr. Aceves For A Vgs On A Lower Bmi



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I am a 28 year old 32 BMI in So Cal. I have been considering going to Dr. Aceves, based on the many excellent reviews I've read about his experience.

I have several concerns (I'm sure they are very common) regarding surg in MX. I understand that Dr. Aceves is one of the best, but I'm concerned about the concept of getting surg in MexiCali and post-op.

I would love to speak to someone who has maybe had a VGS with Dr. Aceves? I see great reviews, but I'd love to speak to someone who could tell me a bit more about their experience, post-op. If I could have a chat with you, on the phone, I'd be soooo grateful!

One of my major concerns is that i can't seem to find many long-term patients of Dr. Aceves, or VGS patients in general. I know that the procedure is somewhat new, but I am very concerned about the lack of long-term studies done on VGS in general.

Appreciate any help! thank you!!!

Just to correct you it is VSG - vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I had my surgery with Dr Garcia: an amazingly skilled surgeon on Tijuana. You may want to check him out a bit: he has a great following.

LC, I'm not a long-time sleever (8/31) but I'd be happy to talk to you and answer any questions I can. I'll PM you my number.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
