I had DR.Almanza Surgery was 2/12/14...im down 60 lbs..
It wont be like the US but he is wonderful and staff are too!

BTW I went to Tijuanna Mexico and had my surgery.....Your surgery looks like you"ll be in the US...your pain will be controlled!!!!(very well)

My whole family was against my surgery (Feb 2014) i got it done and now im feeling like my old self..
They all like my weight loss! I wouldnt even worry about recovery, dont stress, its not horrible...

I made it!!!
I went from 256lbs on Feb 12,2014 to 199lbs as of today and I FEEL WONDERFUL!!
I thought I never see my weight out of the 200s...

Thanks its all helpful advice

I had my surgery 2/12/14 with Dr. Almanza
Ive lost a bout 23lbs within the first 2 weeks now I dont seem
to be losing.....I started working out Monday 3/3/14..ive walked 1.2 miles 3days this week...

Ive noticed after the band patients normally switch to the sleeve!
Sleeve is supposed to be the best way to go...my opinion!
also you dont have to follow up to keep getting the adjustments.

thanks lisalee! I see yours is coming up soon....Congratulations! and Good Luck!

Thanks. ..I guess im getting too excited! Ive really gotta try harder. Im getting tired of throwing up

ive been overeating( i guess)!
how do you all deal with this?
im so hungry by the time i eat that i guess i missjudge how much im eating then i end up hanging over the toilet.....

Thank you all for the positive feedback.
I really needed that!

Im 29, I have asthma, smoke cigarettes ( in the process of quitting) Im about 255(ish) lbs amd 5'7
