My husband and I chose to gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico. For my portion of the surgery everything went smoothly and I am able to eat what I like (obviously much less). My energy is good, no hair loss, and I weigh 193 Pds down from 247.
My husband had gastric sleeve as well and seemed to be right on track with me. At 7 days post op he developed a fever of 103.2 heart rate of 160, and the most severe left shoulder pain he could bear.

Well I arrived home from having my gastric sleeve last night. The medical care that I received in Mexico was similar to care in the US. I was well informed the entire time and had access to nurses. The first 24 hours where rough but that is true after any surgery. Today I am feeling pretty good. I would say my energy level is at 75% prior to what it was before surgery. I am happy with my decision and would do it again in a heart beat.

I am excited for this and of course slightly nervous. I am confident in my decision but mostly nervous of how my life is going to change.
My husband and I go out to eat several times a week...going to have to go for a walk instead! I am more nervous of figuring out this next phase when I haven't
