  1. It has been almost two years since my gastric sleeve. At my lowest, I weighed 148 lbs. After starting work at a chocolate factory six months ago, (uh-oh), I now weigh 152 lbs. I eat oatmeal every day for breakfast and "normal" things for lunch. " Normal" things for dinner. I have almost cut out my protein drinks entirely, replacing them with "real" meals. I went out on a date with my husband and wore a bodycon mini-dress and holy smokes, did I feel HOT! We even had a young man that commented to my husband on how fine his lady looked! I am STILL loving my sleeve!
  2. Keep losing a few pounds here and there, slowly-----but I HAVEN'T gained ANYTHING during the holidays! Boy, do I feel GREAT about that!

    What a transformation! You look incredible!
  5. Oh-LOVED to be able to wear PJ's down to the restaurant in the Marriott and not feel weird!
  6. I saw LOTS of folks from the different medical coordinators at the Marriott in TJ. It made me feel at such ease to know that LOTS of folks are using TJ for the surgery. I hope everyone feels as good as I do, 7 days post-op. I am recommending this surgery to anyone who asks!

  12. Awesome!!! I can't wait for my surgery day!!!
  13. Hi Cheri....I feel my surgery went very well-no post surgery pain issues, swelling or infections! I did have very painful gas for the first day, but since then no real issues. I am down about 24lbs post surgery in just over 3weeks. Not losing as fast or as much as I thought I would, but still losing 5-7lbs a week. Weightloss kind of stalled this past week, not really sure why, maybe being on the purée stage has something to do with it. I know I need to exercise more, so that could be reason also. I am still off work for anther 10 days, so getting back to work will help too. You will have no issues about the hospital, clean ,neat, tidy, and lots of staff for your comfort. Nurses are constantly checking on you to make sure you are not having any issues. I stayed at 'The Marriott' and it was fantastic, they go out of their way to help you. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate. Good luck with your journey.

Hey: I was sleeved in Tijuana on April 3, 2013 by Dr. Elias Ortiz. I was there with two other ladies. One was from South Carolina, a nurse (she was by herself) and the other was from Louisiana, I think, she came with her boyfriend. If you guys are on this website, I would love to hear from you and see your current pics!
