I am so sorry you had such a bad experience!! I had surgery by Almanza in 2012. I still eat such small amounts and am down 80lbs. I'm so glad I did it. My experience was a positive one.

Get a new friend. Find a support group? Weight Watchers?
I gave up my best friend. She was very negative towards me after my surgery. She accused me of "taking the easy way out". She has no idea...
Thank you.
I had severe heartburn after my surgery. I started taking 150mg Zantac. That didn't work at all. Then I moved to Omeprazole. I got some relief, but would still wake up in the middle of the night with...

Here's mine.
I chose to have the VGS with Dr. Almanza. And did so 7/17/12. I did it for the EXACT same reasons as you state: Get ride of Type 2 Diabetes. In Sept 2013 my A1C was 5.3. However, I let my guard down...
Congrats on making a life-changing decision!!!
Dr. Almanza did my VGS surgery July 2012. It's the best thing I ever did for myself! I am no longer taking any diabetic medications. I've lost 70 lbs and went from a size 16/18 to a size 8. I still...
Try Flinstones Complete chewables. Or a good gummy vitamin.
I use sparkpeople.com moible app to track my food, fitness, water, and other goals. I used MFP. But had problems with the app.
Thats a GREAT idea! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I've started night time grazing. I'm mad at myself. But I find myself cruising the pantry around bedtime. Not necessarily sweets, but junk like chips, popcorn, cookies, sometimes ice cream. I need to...
1 cup of Great Grains Digestive Health Cereal - Vanilla flavor. 1/2 cup of skim milk.
I have found that the higher the protein, the worse the flavor. For flavor, try mixing in instant ff/sf pudding mix, greek yogurt, or fresh/frozen fruit. My fave shake mix in Body by Vi - Visalus...
My BMI is 25.6 - which is still overweight. I'm 5' 2".
I journal my food intake with sparkpeople app (I love it). My food intake averages between 1200-1500 calories a day, focusing on high protein, low carbs. Carbs wreck my blood sugar.
I relate!! My VGS was 7/17/12. I am 20lbs from my goal and ideal weight. It isn't coming off! I exercise - 45 mins on elliptical trainer 5 days a week, strength training 3-4 times a week and journal...
I have not lost any further weight in 6 months. Despite exercising consistently - 45 mins on an elliptical trainer and strength training 3-4 times a week. I did get lax in my diet and my diabetes A1C...
Wow! You look fabulous! Congrats!
I didn't have international minutes. I didn't purchase any. I could text though. I also took my laptop. The hotel has wi-fi. I kept in touch with everyone via texting and computer.
I use cream cheese in my chicken salad.
No diet for me. I have read that I should be eating 90 grams of protein a day. I shoot for that goal and watch my carb intake. Some days I reach my goal, some days I don't.
I did lots of research before deciding to go to Mexico to have my WLS. I knew the risk of surgery. I said my goodbyes before leaving my family to go for the surgery. It was a risk I was willing to...
Hello. I'm 49 years old. I had VSG July 17, in Mexico. I did it to lower my blood sugar. I'm diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes. Chronic. In 2011 Ihas hospitalized 4 times due to dangerously high blood sugar...
