You will have an amazing experience. All the things you heard about Dr. Aceves are true, he is totally fabulous as is Nina. You will treasure this life changing experience and be thrilled that you choose him to do your surgery. My thoughts will be with you and I can not wait to welcome you to the banded side.

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 120 pounds– I’M AT GOAL!!!

Thank you so much! I am so excited! My insurance would not pay and for days I went into a deep depression over this, then finally I learned of Mexico and with the love of my husband who made it possible for me to go... the date was finally set! I so hope and wish anyone that can not get insurance to pay will consider using this Doctor, I have learned so much about him and I have no fear of going at all. Will keep ya updated :)
