Sleeved on jan 27th lost 85 pounds so far with no exercise lol.

Well im 26 now and i just had my surgery 3 weeks ago and im glad i did it i had the chance to have wls when i was 18 but i didnt and thinking back now im kinda glad i didnt have it when i was 18 but then again i do im glad i had the chance to go out and party and drink and have fun but i guess it matters on what kinda person you are if you dont like that kinda stuff have the surgery but if you want to experience that time of your life dont have it BUT you can still have fun without drinking i guess lol.

I had my surgery jan 27th and when i eat soups or pudding i get full after 2 oz but im drinking a chocolate protien shake right now and im not feeling full and i made a half glass of shake and i might have 2 oz left of it. weird but the scales are saying im losing 2 + pounds a day so im happy

Man not trying to be mean but man im glad my expeirience was nothing like that i had surgery woke had no pain but gas in my chest and that was gone 2 days later i felt 100% by the 3rd day. Knock on wood lol

Hi i just got home this past wensday from there i had surgery with him too i was nervous just like you but everything was fine i didnt see anything happen i even walked across the street and went to the mall and the mall is just as nice as the hospital so dont worry you will be fine.

I have my done wensday in mexico im real nervous but im in fayetteville nc i just got home about 20 mins ago from myrtle beach sc had to meet a real estate agent so i might be moving your way pretty soon.

Thanks everybody lol the bad thing is i think im more nervous about the plane thing than anything else and i hate the part after the surgery when your throat is dried and hurting.

I go next wensday jan 26th i cant wait but getting a little nervous but oh well lol

What i have been told is you HAVE to have a passport book or passport card to enter Mexico since they changed the laws a while back im in the same boat your in i have surgery on the 26th of january but thank god i went 2 weeks ago to the post office to get my passport book and i expedited it and over night it took about 7 days to come to my house.

January 26th Dr. Jose Rodiguez

Well i had to change my date but im set for january 26th my passport came in i payed for my plane tickets and my deposit for the surgery im ready to go now.

Ok i want to know to those that have the lapband looking back are you glad you got the laband or do you wish you had the gastric bypass surgery? The reason i ask is im planning on having the lapband done in january im self pay and the lady that is helping me thru belighweight told me she has the band but if she could do it all over again should would have got the other surgery. Now i am self pay and the lapband cost is $5400 the gastric bypass is $6900 im not worried about the cost differnce so i just wanted yall truthfull opinion. Thanks!

I found out today i will have my surgery jan 11th i cant wait!

Thanks guys im pretty sure im going with the band.
