I scheduled my surgery for November 4th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali! I am SO excited but so nervous.. I was actually more nervous about not being able to get the 3 weeks off work! Is there anyone that will be traveling to Mexicali to see Dr. Aceves at this time? I feel very confident about the choice of my surgeon. I have have done so much research on him, and my wife has spent countless hours up at night researching everything she can about Dr. Aceves, Almater Hospital, and Mexicali.

I have not told my Mom yet.. at first I thought it would be best not to, but if anything ever happened there at least she would know where I was.

My wife will be traveling with me... THE most supportive, unconditionally loving, and giving person I have ever met in my life. I could not have a better partner and love in all my life.

If anyone needs any support or someone to talk with, I am here!

I love the way u talk about ur partner...wishing u a sucessful journey.

Best of luck to you. Having a great support system makes such a difference. My hubby and family were cautiously supportive too. Mx threw them for a loop.

My mom went with me and she was taken aback in a positive way with my surgical team and everything else at Almater.

Thank you ladies... 11/4 cannot come soon enough! I don't know how some of these women go to something like this alone... that takes a lot of guts! I am so excited for this change.. I have been down on myself for too long, and luckily I don't have too far to go: I am 5'5 and 196lbs. I would love to lose 50-60 pounds!

Congratulations to both of you lovely ladies on your weight loss!

You will be so happy with Dr. Aceves! He is the best doctor I have ever met. I will be 3 years out in January..Best decision I have ever made! Congratulations!
