I had my surgery over 2 Years ago with Dr. A, when I was there I was given an intravenous injection of toradol which is an anti inflammatory pain killer. I was very comfortable with that. They...

What Dr did your surgery? Can't wait to see progress pictures!

I know that every ones procedure costs differently, but can you tell us how much you paid for general idea how much I need o save up? Thanks.

Can you tell us what this cost you?

Cowgirl Jane... Can you tell us where you Dr. Is located and what did he charge for all your procedures. I know each person the price would be different related to what they were having one. ...

So glad to have found your body renewal pics! You look great!

When I was in 3rd grade and I weighed 100 lbs and was heavier than all the other girls was when I was put on my first of about a trillion diets!!! I wish I could have had it done then that at age...

You sure dont look obese to me!!!!

I wish I could have had it at 15 yrs old instead of 55!

I had my sleeve with Almanza and so did my husband. But if anyone asked me if I would reccommend anyone else going there I would say NO! Dr A does do a good job, but is highly overworked. I think...

Let us know what the DR says and what your scope shows. I too have that food creeping up sensation but none of the vomitting. If it bugs me too much I take an omeprazole and it goes away. Good...

When your incisions are healed...4-6 wks

I think you need more protein!

Dr Almanza does not, it is extra if you want your gallbladder out, and I dont know if you are even told you have a hernia if you have one and he notices it.

Very glad you had a great experience!

I was just going to say what Robs gal said. One lady that was in the sleeve group the day after me came from
alaska. She had all her teeth puled one day and dentures placed and the next day she...

Check the label of the ensure. It is high calorie and high fat for people who are not able to get their calories thru food, such as elderly, etc. It is a meal replacement, but not for us sleevers. ...

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I've lost an elephant penis!

Hope you get approved! The stories I read on here about people and their insurance companies makes me think that insurance companies hire the (SORRY!) stupidist people on the planet!!!

You can still have those foods but in moderation!

This tread needs to be removed. People still think this is a true story. And it was a scam to get the sleeve!

Yes, I remember that cooking odors were more stronger to me the 1st week or so after surgery and then it went away as time went on.

your tea will be fine, milk of magnesia is ok too

Wow, your weight loss has been GREAT! I dont know how the sleeve would cause aspiration pneumonia, if you swallow something and you choke on it then you can aspirate, but I think you would know it. ...
