My surgery is booked! I have been scheduled for a band to sleeve revision with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali on Janary 22nd, 2014. I'm very excited and very nervous as well. If there is anyone else on this forum who is scheduled (or already post-op) with Dr. A, would love to hear about your experiences as you go through them. I have opted for an extra-long stay, so I'll be in Mexicali Jan 21 to Jan 27th, if anyone else is scheduled for that week. Can't wait! Now, time to start working on the mental part of this...

I'm scheduled for Dec14 2013 with Dr Aceves! You made an excellent choice of surgeon! :0)

I went to him July 15th so I'm about 4 and a half months out. He was the absolute best decision. My experience could not have been any better, there's just nothing I can complain about. You'll receive the best care don't worry about a thing, good luck

Thank you for your replies! Under1star - Wishing you all the best for your surgery on Dec 14th. Let me know how it went afterwards. Thanks Pedrosmommy - I am very excited and feel less worried the more I hear from others who have been seen by Dr.A.

I had surgery in August 2012 and it was a great experience. I was treated very well and loved staying in the hospital while I recovered. You'll be in great hands!

Thanks for posting responses. I'm scheduled for Dr. A on January 16th! Any advice about plane travel right after surgery is welcome!

I had surgery with Dr. Aceves in March. My experience was really very good. I wrote a detailed account pretty play by play, down to my first "shart" and first postop "poo". Lol! I will post the link.
