I don't know. Others have had plenty of success. Just not me. I am experiencing some inch loss but the scale just doesn't move.

I started the hcg diet. I did it previously and although I did gain it back previously, it took a long time before I gained it back. So far I have lost 12 pounds in 9 days. I will continue doing this...

Thanks. I have had the thyroid tested regularly for the last 10 years. Its been normal despite my hypo symptoms. I was diagnosed as hyper 13 years ago but even then, had hypo symptoms. They never...

Surgery was done in Mexico. They ensured me that they used the same size bougie as they do on everyone. Others are having success without trying. I have to try extra hard to get the little results...

I had surgery March 28 and have only lost 26 pounds. I am ready to try supplementing my diet with the hcg protocol. I can't believe the sleeve just hasn't worked for me at all. I think the 26 pounds...

I broke out on both arms. I thought it was the protein shakes also, because I had just switched brands. I was buying anything on sale so I wasn't sure which one could have broken me out but I stopped...

I'm sorry that happened to you. Nobody should have to be treated like that. We had our surgery on the same day. I have lost 29 pounds, 17 of that was preop so I know your struggles.

I had my surgery on Thursday and was not allowed anything by mouth until Saturday. Not even ice chips.

Thank God, I didn't have any pain but I did have soreness. I didn't take anything for pain after leaving the hospital although I did get the prescription filled.

i saw another surgeon before and his manual indicated that half the dosage should be used and one should contact their doctor a week after surgery to make sure no other adjustments were needed.

Hello,
I was also sleeved by Dr. Quiones on 3-28-2013. No complications at all!! Thank God!! Surgery went smooth, no pain or any problems.

Yes, my friend had the sleeve on 3-14-2013. She has not been able to have a bowel movement on her own.

My friend is in the ER now for the third time in 5 weeks. She has a bowel obstruction and can not go to the bathroom to do number 2. She has been throwing it up instead.

16 days post op and no weight loss for me yet either.

I had surgery on 3/28 and I have not lost any weight at all. I would be happy with your results.

i use both and no gas.
