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 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

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!

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
