Today is my 3 month anniversary from being sleeved. Down 64 lbs from pre op diet. 58 from day of surgery. I dont look, feel or most interesting act the same. Everybody says Im more mellow now. April 11th, the day of my surgery is without question one of the most important days of my life. A great decision to do this at least for me for those people out there wavering on this issue.

The wakeup call I had was yesterday I tried my suits from 10 yrs ago on for the first time and although I fit in them they were still very tight.(These suits had not been touched in 10 yrs!) And I tried

Hey All, Does anybody know if Tijuana uses the same type of plugs we do or do we have to bring adapters like in Europe? Thanks.
