    My surgeon said the risk for gallstones is actually pretty low for sleeves and some people who get gallstones have no symptoms! I was prescribed actigall but I haven't taken it yet but I'm only 3 wks out. .my surgeon also said it tastes disgusting once u open the capsule so that's why alot of patients don't take it

    It's not the HCG that makes you lose weight, it's the 500 calorie diet.

    Hey,do you think Dr.Quinones didn't make your stomach small enough? I'm getting nervous. He is supposed to do my surgery in February. I am not paying all this money to lose 26 pounds. I am totally having second thoughts now.

    I don't know. Others have had plenty of success. Just not me. I am experiencing some inch loss but the scale just doesn't move.

    I'm getting a size 36 bougie. A 32 may be too restrictive for me. Just my personal opinion.

    I lost 15 lbs on HCG and gained them and some of their friends back so I would say consult your physician.



    8 month goal- 185 lbs (Conquered 11.5.2014, 12 days before I hit 8 months)
    12 month goal-175 lbs (Conquered 3.5.2014, 12 days before I hit 12 months)
    Final goal- 170 lbs. (2 lbs to this goal)

    103 lbs lost... I ROCK!!!!!!!!!

    I think that you need a 2nd opinion first of all then if it shows that the sleeve is too big then I would go and get a refund or redone. I would never start a diet that the Dr. didn't put me on even if it's done in mexico you should be able to get a hold of someone to give you some kind of information.

    I lose more slowly than most on the Sleeve, so I feel your pain, but still I've managed to lose a lot more than 26 lbs. I think I lost about half that much on the pre-op diet alone. I can sense your frustration. When I found I wasn't losing weight, I did the Atkins diet post-sleeve for a while, and I increased my exercise somewhat, and it did manage to put me back on track. Now I will probably be close to 100 lbs. lost a year out, which has rescued my sense that this was a wise decision.

    The sleeve for some is a miracle, and for some of us it's just a tool. We have to find ways to augment it. My only real advice is to avoid anything augmentation plan that will prove too difficult and won't give you a sense of satisfaction. Atkins worked for me because I could eat until I was full, and even though there were many things off the menu, lots of things that were on it were satisfying to me.
