Thank you! He's definitely who I want! I'm not going to risk it. I'm certain there are other wonderful surgeons, but I feel the most comfortable with Dr. Aceves.

It's $250/month for 17 months and the 18th month is approx $120-ish. There's no penalty to for paying it off early either.

It is in house financing. Nina will help you start the process. They do not run a credit check as it is in house.

Dr. Aceves might be a possibility if my insurance doesn't cover it ... He is only 3.5 hrs away from Phoenix :)

Does anyone know how Dr. Aceves schedules surgery? Is it far out?

I believe you can book anytime. You just ask Nina if he's available the day you want to fly in. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
