    Yes I had that upper GI test where you drink the solution and stand in front of the screen.
    We were able to see how large my stomach was. No were near sleeve Dr Naim said it was either not done
    Or stretched after my baby and a large bouge was used. I also had an Endoscopy of
    My stomach to check from the inside as well.
    Who knows, I just want it done correctly this time. :-).

    Yes, I'm praying my return comes in time and gettin
    More prepared. I look forward to doing my list
    Of goals etc!
    When do you get back home from Mexico?

    Your profile came up when I searched for people under 200#. I realize there aren't many of us but I'm new to this and I'm wondering what they've told you about doing this under 200#???

    Alamanza offered it for $3500 and Garcia is $4700.
    Garcia has you stay 1 nt hotel, 2 nights hospital, and 2 more nights hotel.
    How many days do you have to diet prior to going?
    Since we don't weigh over 200...

    I'm convinced I want to be resleeved. Really wish I was going on a day with someone who was going through the same. I was going to go with Alamanza and Found Garcia. He is higher in price, but I like the stay at the Marriott & the extra days there to make sure all is well especially with the revision...
    I'm waiting to see if I get financing or income tax to know if I'm going 100% on the 14th.
    I know your excited and nervous too! Who is traveling with you?
    How much do you weigh now? I'm 185 5'7'.
    Goal weight is 145ish :-)

    Hi There! I am doing great so far!!!

    Thanks! I've seen so many negative things that have been said about Dr. Almanza in a group I'm following on FB. But I have no doubts I will be fine! My friend used him last year and if she didn't think it was a good idea, I know she wouldn't have told me about him. I'm nervous and anxious!

    I hope it is not to late to respond. Thanks for the positive thoughts. I am doing OK. I go to see my doctor Thursday.
    I know I have lost weight but I still think I am not doing things right. We will see.

    Hello, I have had much the same result with my sleeve. I lost lots to start with then just stopped losing. I was told I was not eating enough so I did eat more but that did help either. I have not gained lots but I don't loose either. So, tell me what it means to be resleeved? Is it the same operation over again? In any case good luck to you.

Second Surgery and again...failure

by RoDean on 11-03-2016 at 10:05 AM
So, I went to have my re-sleeve in March of this year and I feel as though I have been a victim of the worlds biggest fraud. I am almost 99% positive that I was cut open on the table and absolutely nothing was done to my stomach. I woke up and had the easiest recovery in the world, with the exception of felling as though I had, had a surgery and been on anesthesia. I began "sipping fluids" as soon as Dr. Almanzas team would let me and went through cup after cup of apple juice and broth,

Weight lost

by RoDean on 03-28-2016 at 01:36 PM
So, I am 2 weeks out from my surgery and 11 lbs down. On my 5 day clear liquid pre-op diet which I followed to a "T" I lost a whopping 1 ounce. I was so mad. I knew something was broken with my sleeve and that proved it. I am so glad I had the revision and that the weight is coming off again. I am now 10 lbs away from 100 total lbs lost. I told my husband that this morning and then told him he better start saving his money, because my goal was always once 100 lbs were off, I got
