I cleaned and bandaged my incisions everyday until they looked healed with a good scab. I am over 3 months out and they are looking great.

I am sorry about your IV but the best is yet to come. I am sure you will be so happy that you did this as the weight comes off and you get healthier.
I was at MI Doctor in July and had an excellent...

Hello and welcome. I had the same surgery in Tijuana July 16th and I am 60 years old. I have never had any problems from either surgery. I am beginning pureed foods, I fill up quickly but am...

I am going to stage 3 of my diet which is pureed food. Any suggestions? I was sleeved 7/16/2013 by Dr. Valenzuela in TJ. Any one else have this same diet?

Java Girl,
Are you on full liquids yet? For those who were sleeved July 16th, what phase diet are you on and what are you eating?

How are you doing? I am feeling great but taking it easy.
Although this is a major life change, I believe it is a change for the best. I encourage all those unsleeved if a 60 year young...
