YOUR NOT TOO OLD AT ALL! I had my @ 52 & now, I feel like a young man again! I wouldn't hesitate one moment! Good luck & God speed... :-)

Joined today with only 2 posts, both of them to flame Dr. Almanza & Louise? I think this is another fake poster. I guess the competition is really scared of this guy & his success. It's a shame...

I don't care who you are, that's some funny $#it right there.

I'd wait till afterwards. Normally, there is never a problem. But occasionally, there is a mild reaction & I wouldn't chance getting your surgery day bumped b/c you spike a fever or have joint...

One good poop & you'll be back in the negative region! ;-)

Helicobacter pylori infection cannot be cured by any single drug as its treatment engages taking a number of medications for 8 to 15 days which means 1-2 weeks.
1) The majority of treatment schedule...

My EX was on this diet for about a month. She did lose about 10 lbs but she was hungry all the time & it was very expensive. My daughter told her about my daughter & myself have the sleeve. The EX...

I never had a problem keeping weight on! ;-)

I know the feeling. I used to think that I looked like a pregnant man. I should have been carrying twins! The thing that really was a wake up call for me was my neck. I remember riding in the...

1. I have decided I want to go to Mexico. I had talked to a couple of people from WeightLossAgents.com about a month ago on the phone and on their chat. What doctor is this? I see people talking...

most WLS surgeons allow Naproxen (aleve) post op & tylenol. Naproxen is my "go-to" OTC pain reliever. Ibuprofen is a no-no for the reasons you mentioned. Ibuprofen has always upset my pre-op tummy...

I have one of my ex-pats here in Iraq on the base, that was HYPOTENSIVE, which is LOW B/P. He had just returned from R&R back in the states & renewed his B/P meds. He has lost a significant amount...

DITTO! Very well put.

And be sure to ask for extra instruction b/c your "new" at this! :-) I am sure all the women would just love to help you learn to Zumba correctly!

Once you get carbs out of your life, esp short life carbs, you'll stop craving them. I occasionally re-read Atkin's book & whether your a believer or not, his book is full of good information which...

I wouldn't say I had nightmares but I agree with the vivid dreams. So very lifelike & detailed. Last night I joined the french foreign legion, was stationed in the Horn of Africa & was trying to...

Thx for the wonderful story. I am central florida here, just east of Orlando. Welcome & wishing you continued success!

it happens. idk why either. I find that maybe I am eating too fast or that I am close to full & don't realize it quite yet. It's just another thing we have to accept with our new friend. But when...

Hello, central florida here! post op & loving it!

I would say that my weight loss slowed down when I went to more conventional foods. It seems to peak & valley more as well. It also might be that your colon is starting to stabilize. You can't...

HI TB, also central florida here. Also an alumni of Dr. Almanaz. I work in Iraq as a medical provider, contractor to the US Army in Mosul. Welcome, I am alittle of 3 months out & Love the...

There are a lot of horror stories out there & very few them are based on facts, only rumors. Having said that, EVERY surgery has an associated risk. It's all part of life. Driving in a car carries...

the hunger hormone is made in other parts of the body. 75% is made in our former stomachs but the 25%is made in the small intestine & a small amount is made in the hypothalamus (I think). But most...

great story! Thx for sharing. Your an inspiration to all of us here on the forum. I know there a many ppl who are curious if the band is for them or they are considering a revision from the band...
