It's been a year and 3 mos. since my surgery, and my weight loss is slow now, but I'm not gaining it back. With a little effort you can control your weight with sleevie. That's the wonder of it all!

NinaLinda...Don't worry too much. It's as easy as pie. They pick you up in a van and take you where you need to go. I went alone, and I didn't feel alone. You make good friends as you go along....

My cell worked when I went downtown Tijuana. Then at the group home we had a free phone to the U.S.A. Wish you the best on your surgery tomorrow.

Drink lots of hot broth...I had the caldo broth, and it was really good and satisfying. You can do it!!! Three days will be over before you know it, and you will have less complications. I followed...

Congrats to you both!!! I had surgery almost a year ago and doing very well. You won't regret it!!! Have a safe trip and speedy recovery!!!

I pulled out my sutures myself with no problems and go to my regular Doctor for my blood pressure meds. They are proud of my weight loss and compliment me...Bonnie

Yes...Yes...Yes...I had mine done by Dr. Almanza in Tijuana, and I felt safe once I got there. They have their own vans and take you everywhere you need to go. You are very well taken care of. It was...

Maybe you should opt out and then try to come back and see if that corrects the problem. LOL...Bonnie

I went to Dr. Almanza in Tijuana. Before I got on the table, I asked the anesthesiologist if he honored the blood issue, and he said he respected my decision and had no problem with it. They are well...

Cheryl...Thanks for the encouragement. He's getting better. Now he's bringing home the hot Cheetos, and I don't really care for them. I ate my last ones two days ago. Phew!!!

Misty...I'm so sorry for your sadness in your childhood. You are an amazing person to forgive, but you never forget. One good thing you have gained from your experience is you have turned something...

WOW!!! Stessie...You are a hot chickie!!!! BocaSteve...You look great too!!!

Fatandfedup...I know how you feel. I've done it many times before the sleeve. Now I have more self control. It's amazing and well woth it!!! Jerzeygirl...Wow!!! You've done a great job on your...

TEACHn96...It was easier laying on my right side because of the discomfort of my large incision above my belly button, but it was much better laying on my back the first few weeks. It goes by real...

WOW!!! Cheryl, you've done fantastic!!! My Husband keeps bringing bags of Cheetos (he says it's for the kids), but I think he believes I've lost enough weight. I know I want to lose 20 lbs. more!!!...

Christy...You are so beautiful and slim!!!

Thanks Misty...Like you, I don't have as much to lose, but it sure does make a difference! I had type 2 Diabetes also and developed a tumor on the bottom of my foot that had gotten infected about 5...

Yes Liz, that's what I've lost so far. In the past I had lost 97 lbs., but 80 lbs. of it crept up on me and caused health problems. I had Heart Failure twice, and it scared me enough to do this...

Halo...I have a lot more self control and mostly crave the carbs like bread and cereal bars. I also love cheetos which I never desired before my sleeve. I need to focus...focus...focus on low-fat,...

WOW!!! Beliza...You've done a great job keeping most of your weight off for 2 1/2 years! I have the same problems. I don't get hungry, but I crave carbs, but I keep a diary of what I eat, so I won't...

My foot pain subsided, and I can walk further now that I have lost weight. It really does help you. It won't go away completely, but it does improve...Bonnie

I don't worry about it anymore after 11 months. I seperate the two, but I drink right before or after I eat. It gets better in time and becomes routine...Bonnie

I slept on my back mostly. My left side hurt because of my large cut that took longer to heal. Propping a pillow under the side that is uncomfortable helps ease the pain...Bonnie

Good choice! Who can wait 10 years when your health is in jeopardy???

Onmyway...It wasn't easy on the liquid diet in the beginning; because, I had trouble drinking. I even hated water!!! As time went by it got easier to drink. I find that I do better with hot coffee...
