I am a mail carrier, and took off 10 days post-op. Was pain free after about a week.

It is just fluids. My advice would be to tell her to only weigh once a week. That being said, I have weighed myself every single of the 420 or so days since my surgery. The scale hasn't moved in the...

Well, a lot can change in a year. Febuary 24th 2016 I made the trip to Tijuana to have gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Jorge Maytorena and LongTermVSG. My weight was 380 pounds, and now one year...

I currently am 9 days shy of my 1 year surgiversary. I have been maintaining my weight since about 8 months out. I stopped about 20 lbs. shy of my goal, only because I was very satisfied with my...

Started at 380 on 2/24/16 now I am leveled off at about 240

I flew home from San Diego less than 48 hours post op. Two flights the first one was about 3 hours, and the second one about an hour. I wore compression socks, and took eliquis prior to, and after...

Well I am a little over 7 months out, and am down from 380 to 240-245. I have been here for a few weeks now, I am not sure if this is a stall, or if I am done losing weight. To be honest I don't...

I am 5 months out today, and my stomach has felt normal for a few weeks now. I still have an occasional day here and there in which my stomach still feels a little bit tight and therefore queasy, but...

I use a blender bottle, and there is little or no foam that way. I used a small blender at first, and it foamed like crazy. The blender bottle is awesome, and only 10-15 dollars, if I remember...

Today marks the three month point in my journey. I am down 91 lbs. and sometimes still feel like a failure. I have had chips and dip a couple of times, and pizza 2 or 3 times, therefore , according...

My how time flies. Yesterday was the 2 month mark since having my vsg with Dr. Jorge Maytorena in Tijuana. I am very blessed!!! I haven't suffered from any of the problems in which so many others go...

I lost 18 pounds on the pre-op diet, and have lost 34 in the 4 weeks since surgery. I think the fact that I am a male, and had a lot to lose can be the reason I lost so well. If you have lost 8...

I know that I am only 4 weeks out from surgery, and I haven't had a prolonged stall, but I have had several periods where the scale won't move for a few days. I have noticed that each time the scale...

I bought 4 cases before surgery at GNC. They were running a buy ony get one half off at the time, so I ended up getting 4 cases for around $125 or right around $3 a bottle. I can't hardly stand the...

I had almost exactly the same flight length. With the layover and factoring in the 2 hour time change, I was only in the air for about 3 hours 25 mins total. The worst part was the fact that the...

I was given a diet of high protein,and under 30g carbs per day for 2 weeks pre op. And nothing to eat or drink after midnight day of surgery. It worked well for me, I lost 18 pounds. I would listen...

I am 4 days post op, and seem to be doing great. The only thing is, I have developed a 100 degree fever. Anybody else have this at 4 days post op. I got in 40g of protein today, as well as around 60...

Has anyone else dealt with peoples negativity in the pre-op stage. I am one week pre-op and am sick of hearing that I should just lose the weight naturally, whatever that means. I am also tired of...

Hi, I am scheduled to have my sleeve on 2/24/16 with Dr. Jorge Maytorena and Longterm vsg. He has required a 2 week high protein low carb pre op died. I started two days early, and have lost 6...
