Frustrated-please help me understand
happyevraftr posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve 8/5/11. I am down 30lbs but the scale has not really moved in 3 weeks! I am reading what others are losing and I seem so far behind. I am not exercising everyday but eating far more less than before and am not lazy by any means. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips? -

Thanks so much! All of you have helped me tremendously! -
Hi Trizzy! It looks like you are doing AWESOME!!. I lost a lot the first 2 weeks but now only about 2lbs a week? I'm down about 22 lbs....but I shouldn't be dissapointed for 1 month! How is it going for you?

1 week Post-op and I don't think it's working!

I had my surgery 8/5 and experienced the same thing. My stomach was gurgling, cramping like I was supper hungry! Then I read some other posts on here about taking an antacid like Prilosec OTC daily. I started researching it on some MD websites and many docs recommend it. So, I went and bought some and it has helped amazingly! -
Trizzy-how are you? We both had it done on the 5th in Mexico, just different locations. I am back home now. Mine went well considering. Can't wait to hear from you!

Cont from below... (being in the medical field) their equipement was very outdated. After care is also a little unknown to me and I am so glad I connect with a surgeon here for aftercare. Dr. Verboonen was very nice and along with Sheri and Eric, they made sure I had all my meds and testing by the time I needed to leave back to the US.

I am back from Cancun, thank God. The few days I went before the surgery were fun and got my mind off the surgery. It also gave me some time to trust in the process down there. I was at Victoria Clinic. They were very nice and clean. I had a single room and they accomidated my son very well. My patient coordinators Sheri and Eric were awesome! cont above

Hi everyone, I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Verboonen in Cancun Aug 5th. I planned to get the plication verses VGS but all the positive comments makes me uncertain now. Ugh, I am excited and scared, very scared all at the same time! -

I'll be getting my procedure done in Cancun with Dr Verboonen. So far my experience has been good with Sheri Burke, the coordinator (actually excellent). I'll let you all know more as I get there and post-op! -

Should I do GSP or VSG?
happyevraftr replied to happyevraftr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for your opinion and direction Kelly! I am leaning more towards the sleeve the more and more I research. How was your recovery? -
I am scheduled for a Gastric Sleeve Plication but after reading a TON, I am thinking the VSG might be best. I have a high BMI. What is your opinion? Please help
