Surgeon Testimonial

Alberto Aceves M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Aceves is AMAZING! I have never met a surgeon in the states with that much class! His incredible first impression lasted all three days in the hospital. His office staff is just as wonderful. I was never alone or worried about a thing. I don't have anything I didn't like about Dr. Aceves. If you are a future patient, be prepared to be impressed. He was very clear about aftercare and I have received several emails already. You are send home with lots of reading material about how to care for your sleeve and all the information about your surgery including the surgery report and swallow x-rays to give to your primary care physician. He could have addressed the risks of surgery more and been more in detail about them. Overall he is excellent. Since I was out of surgery in 59 minutes and there were no leaks I will rate his surgical competence as better since bedside manner won't keep you alive.

WOW.  Today I bought a small size 6-8 Land's End Little black dress.  I am in awe.  wow.  My sister and her husband are arriving from CA in about 2 hours and I absolutely cannot wait to see them.  This weekend we are having a family reunion at my Uncle's....normally I would have been anxious and rushing around trying to find some outfit that would make it less obvious that I weighed 254.  At barely 5-feet tall, that's not easy.  haha  I just don't even know what to feel.  I was never, never a size 6-8.  My friend in the pics with me is going to have surgery soon.  She is going to Dr. Aceves too.  I can't wait to go with her and help her on this journey.

Hello everyone!!  I have waited a long time to post something on this board.  I have been lurking about for a little over 5 years now.  I can't believe that I waited so long to finally get this done.  I had the Gastric Sleeve on 10-3-2007.  I am already down 20+ lbs.  It just seems incredible to me.  It is incredible.  I can't wait to type a post that I have joined the century club....and it's gonna happen.  I am honored to be here with all you lovely losers.  Hope to talk with you soon!
Jill
