Anyone on here scheduled for surgery with Dr. Aceves down in Mexicali, Mexico later this month? I am, and I'm going down on my own so I'm looking for anyone else out there for support. Or anyone who has been through the process already so I can hit you up with some questions!:thumbup: Look forward to hearing from anyone!

Hi Janessis,

I went by myself to Mexico and had my band done on 4/14. The experience was great. I was up and walking 30 min after I woke up from surgery. I flew home the next day for 4 hours, rode in a car for 2 hrs and worked part of the day the next day. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and expect to go back to Tijuana in a week or 2 for my first fill.

I had Dr. Francisco Gonzalez and was very pleased with all the staff there. Much better care than my daughter had when she broke her ankle and was in the hospital here in the states. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I will be happy to answer any of your questions that I can.

Blessings and good luck,

Sally

Dr. Aceves is great, you'll be in good hands. If you want to know how everything works let me know, I'll tell you anything you want to know. Ask away.

You picked a good doctor!

Dr. Aceves and his group is great. I was banded 2 1/2 years ago and have never regretted it. They will treat you well and when you have quetions ask...

Good luck.

Betty

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
