Thanks Christie!! It has been an amazing journey and so worth it!! This has been the best shape i have been in since I was a teenager. Weight lifting has made a big difference in my body...

Hello...sorry it took.so.long to see this post and answer. I had no issues following surgery. The biggest thing is to follow the rules given to you by the physician and their team. From lifting...

Sorry for the upside down pic...tried to post a new pic but for some reason it posted upside down. Haven’t been on this site posting in a while but have been “lurking” and reading posts. Just...

Hello everyone,

It has been quite awhile since I have posted anything on here, but I have checked back in now and again to stalk my old sleeve friends. Today is my one year surgiversary and I had...

Looking great there Tamera!! Glad you are also doing so well with your weight loss. I have not started any real physical activities as of yet due to being so busy with work. I plan on starting a...

Well I just had to share what the scale showed this morning when I stepped on it!! I was so excited to see this pop up:

Since I started this journey on May 9th, I had my doubts that I...

That pizza bowl sounds amazing...lol. I am 4 months out from surgery, of course I focus on protein first then veggies, but I have to agree with Bard. My severe diets over the years really...

While I have some loose skin, especially on my belly, I find I am not concerned with it. Also I read someone else's post to wait about 18 months and that extra skin could "tighten" up. I am...

Congrats on taking the first step to changing your life!! It is an amazing journey!!

Just wanted to post about my journey so far.... I am 3 months out from surgery as of today and it has been the best 3 months!! I have currently lost 115 lbs since my highest weight and 67 lbs since...

Congratulations on the decision to get sleeved. Just wanted to chime in and say that I am a Paramedic but not currently on a truck, I am on the administrative side now. Good luck and if you have...

Yes ma'am...29 since surgery but I did my own pre-pre-op diet I guess you could call it to prepare myself for surgery.

Congratulations for making the choice to have the sleeve done. I also heard and read stories about Dr Almanza prior to surgery. Don't believe them, I had surgery with him on May 9th with no...

Just had surgery in Mexico...still here recovering as a matter of fact.

It's hard to believe that this time next week I will be in Tijuana waiting for surgery on Tuesday morning. Probably nervous as I can be and unable to sleep, but excited also to begin the post-open...

It sounds like you had a good experience, except for the nausea, pain and difficulty sleeping....lol. I am looking forward to the benefits of the surgery, if not the surgery itself. Hope to hear...

Great Job!!! Keep up the good work!

May 9th for me with Dr. Almanza.

Donald, Congrats also on the weight loss...over 100 pounds in 90 days is impressive. I hope to have the same results!!

I typically don't swallow air using CPAP but just wondered about the increased pressure from the machine. It seems as if each physician is different. I have read on other forums and the internet...

This question may have been asked before, but here goes....Is using CPAP immediately following surgery detrimental? Does it increase the risk of having a leak due to the pressure? Just wondered...

It sounds like you are doing great though....17 pounds in one month and 59 pounds overall!! Keep up the great work! Before long you will be in the 100's...

Good luck with your surgery!! Will be praying for a swift and painless recovery..

Congrats on the awesome NSV!! I haven't received my sleeve yet, but that is one of my biggest concerns on the flight to San Diego....always felt like I was crowding the person next to me.

Congratulations on the weight loss on your Pre-Pre-Op diet!!! Lol. I am currently doing the same thing. I started my "diet" last week and have lost 15 pounds so far. My surgery is scheduled for...
