    Hello thanks for writing to me...I know it's difficult I have been stuck on 172 for what seems like a month and I always felt I didn't eat that much ..well obviously I did because you don't get to 247 pounds without shoveling it in.. But I didn't constantly eat... Think my thyroid and hormones contributed to a lot of my weight too. It used to irritate me immensely that some people could eat so much more and stay a smaller size and I would only have to look at a cake and I had put on 10 pounds!!
    I had a great surprise today I hopped on the scales and I have lost 3 pounds so at last my body has decided to move again I am happy I am now 169 pounds I can honestly say I can't remember being that size for 20 years...
    But my big thing is being healthy I can now run and jump about and be like the 30 something that I am not! Add another 20 years and that's my age but I feel like a new person!
    I hope you are doing well with your sleeve and don't get discouraged we are all unique and if you get discouraged drop by and talk to me I will encourage you! All the best Heather (Hev)

    Glad to hear it went well. Today I am 6 days out, and feeling great. I put in a full day of work and I'm tired, but it was a good day. I look forward to having a few weeks behind me.
    Cheers!

    Hi Trisha. Good luck with your surgery. I'd love to hear about your experience with Dr. Ortiz and Hospital Mi. I'm booked for surgery on Oct 27th (without a companion) so I'm a little nervous about everything. Any hints about the experience would be much appreciated

Its about the journey, not the steps.

I have decided to put the scale under the bed, way under. I am going to weigh once a month. I am entering all food in my fitness pal. I am learning my path through this. The little I am able to eat, with daily exercise, even 20 minutes. I will lose weight. I am not going to compulse about every pound. If all the crash dieting worked I would not have needed the surgery. I have to figure out how to acheive life long health and living in a bubble will not produce that. Maybe I will drop 20 lbs

Surgery Dr Elias Ortiz and Dr Oscar Morales

First of all I want to point out how special Abraham, the local coordinator and driver, and friend is. He is absolutely integral to the whole journey. He gets us at the airport, takes us to the Marriot checks us in, makes sure you have what you need. I would have no issues going without a companion with Abraham, because he would take care of most all your needs. The other patients going to other drs. were very envious of Abraham and the special treatment we got from him. I tipped him more
