Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! I love a good transformation pic, how about you? Show them to me!😍 I'll go first.. Stats: Height: 5'0, HW: 194, SW: 187, CW: 130, 10 months post sleeve

I don't know about the first try, but supposedly people are more fertile as the weight comes off. Most doctors will tell you to wait a year before trying to get pregnant, though.

My surgery is Feb 25th. I'm so excited and so nervous. 😁 😬

Thanks for the benefit of your experience! I feel like managing my expectations in most things aids my peace of mind, and this maybe more so.

YES! Get moving! My doc said 10,000 steps a day to start. I was doing that by day 7 post op. Start walking, walking, walking. You can't do any weights yet, but you can do leg exercises, arm exercises, and climb stairs.

This is common advice from Dermatologist, your Doctor is giving sound medical recommendations 👏

All systems Go, surgery March 3rd.....And I begin my liver shrinking diet today. It's getting real people..I can't wait Happy Dance

I had my sleeve done in Tijuana in November 2019. I know of couple of people in my town who have also gone there and had no issues. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with GERD and it's become unbearable. I reached out to one of the Dr.'s on my surgeon's team and am not feeling very hopeful about any aftercare! She said what I'm experiencing is common and to try some stronger medication but also told me to go have an endoscopy done and send her the results - as if I can walk in anywhere and get an endoscopy. I asked her if I could travel there to have the endoscopy done and she said I could make an appt. with a gastroenterologist but said nothing of coming to their clinic. Absolutely, I want to see the surgeon or his associate who performed my surgery if I'm having issues from the surgery - that makes the most sense to me. I'm wishing I would have researched this in greater detail before having this done.

Congrats! You must feel wonderful. So happy for you! May I ask what your starting weight was and if you had any stalls?

Congratulations on quiting smoking and making it this far! Waiting is the hardest part! I've completed everything and have been approved. I'm just waiting for the scheduler to call...
