When I was making my decision I was scare sh!less about going to Mexico to have this done which is why I really preferred at that time to go with Aceves. Now that Aceves no longer offers the payment plan I can't afford the 10' date='500 price tag. That being I'm going to use a quote from my dad "That sometimes in life decisions get made for you" and this was one of those times. So I'm excited, putting my trust in God that he will guide Dr. Garcia's hand I'm my surgery, and hoping for the best![/quote']

Dr. Aceves is charging 10,500 now? I was sleeved by him in December in paid 8,750.

ETA: Oops! I see you were a revision.

Both of you will do fine. Yeah the first couple of days seems horrible, but whenever you do feel hungry drink some Water, crystal lite, SF popscicles or eat sugar free Jello.< /p>

With the Bullet machine watch out that you don't drink down extra air. The shakes can make foam from these machines and that gas will be horrible on a newly stitched tummy

I'm going to use it during the purée stage for food. Also I found some recipes for applesauce and sorbet I plan to use it for!

I have to do my pre op diet for 2 weeks. I don't know how I'm going to make it. I thought about doing the 2 Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and lean cuisine salad additions for dinner. Does anyone know if its ok to add fruit to the shakes?

Hi, We have choices and we have to make the one that is best for us. I am a big fan of Dr. Aceves, and he was everything I was looking for. I think you know what is important to you, and you should do what is best for you. I asked 100's of questions. I checked out infection rates, I want to know what the hospital was like. Was the recovery in a fully equipped hospital and not a recovery house. I had certain standards. You should also, this is about your health and you know what you want. I wish you great success. If you have any questions that I can answer for you, please feel free to ask me. Take care.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
