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

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!

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
