After all this time I don’t get on this site much. In the beginning I lived here! Had my sleeve done in Mexico-best decision I ever made.
I lost 100 lbs pretty quickly and at 173 just 5 pounds...
Totally agree with the Mexico route. I bit scary but the BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF!
I was one of the lucky ones, recovery was quick and uncomplicated. Worst was the sickenly sweet protein drinks-egg drop soup was a life saver. Never regretted my decision. 5 yrs out and weight...
5 yrs out in a week! NO REGRETS! Had a hernia 2 yrs after but it was there before just too much extra weight to find it. No other problems weight well maintained.
Had my sleeve 5 yrs ago and never heard it called that. Ha ha excellent description. Totally gross isnt it but never regretted my decision
Going to Mexico (Dr. Kelly) was a godsend ! Someone asked me just yesterday why on gods green earth I went to Mexico? My insurance would not cover as well. $5000 vs. $20,000 easy decision ...
Egg drop soup saved me in those early days. Got so sick of sweet drinks!
Best decision I ever made. I didn't experience any hair loss, scaring is so minimal at close to two years out barely visible. My whole relationship with food has changed. I still enjoy going out...
I had my sleeve surgery in Mexico at the age of 58. Life time of struggle with weight. A pediatrician gave me diet pills at 10! Like so many others lost and gained, lost a lot of weight in...
Those fortunate not to struggle with weight issues don't understand. I have lost and regained SOOO..... Many times. I was good at losing but not maintaining. This surgery has been such a blessing...
I HATE the gym! I don't really work out either and have lost and maintained easily a 100 lb. weight loss. I do have a pretty active lifestyle- horseback riding I instructor- I also turn on the...
Heather you are NOT to big to ride, at my heaviest I still rode but honestly not as much. It was awkward getting on. Years ago I saw a woman showing a big Appy that I bet weighed at least 300 lbs. ...
2013920139It is scary but so worth it! 100 pounds GONE. Only regret is not doing it sooner. See this happy face!
I'll do that Julie! I'm actually a riding instructor. I own 16 horses and the only one I've never ridden is a 13.2 hd sport pony. I was always afraid I would crush her. Think she can handle me...
I am so blessed that this surgery has had such a dramatic effect on my life. 100 lbs GONE! My life has changed in so many ways and all of them good! I want to shout from the rooftops that if as I,...

Over a year out and I STILL get "belchy" if I take a big drink : )
Egg drop soup! I was so sick of sweet stuff-and I like sweet!
Having this surgery is the very best decision I have ever made for ME! You wouldn't be normal if it wasn't a bit scary but I would have saved myself a ton of worry if I had known how very easy the...
Words of wisdom!
I never wore shorts! Truly as the owner of a stable/riding instructor I wear jeans to ride but times I wasn't planning to ride I still always wore long pants-even when it was 90+ outside. When...
Dont worry about it at this point. As time goes on you'll be able to eat a bit more. Sometimes I had peanut butter either by itself or added to a shake to increase calories. Always listen to your...
Dr. Ramos-Kelly in Tijuana for me. Best decision I ever made! Do your research, get recommendations from people who have have recent surgeries with him...many people don't realize this surgery has...
Read about Sheng Fa, a Chinese herbal in this forum. Inexpensive, no hair loss for me!
Since I went to Mexico I told very few people before the surgery. I knew some would be horrified and didn't want to justify my decision. After I have told everyone that asks about my dramatic...
