I also have trouble posting from my phone

I think That you are going to have to do what is right for you, it is so hard to give people advise when it comes to what surgery is right for. I would tell you go with this surgery 100% only because it has worked for me. My starting weight was 341lbs and today I am 261lbs. I had my surgery on March 3rd in Mexico by Dr.Huacuz and I would not change it for all the money in the world. I do feel like I can eat more then I could 6 months ago, but with that being said it is my own doing and I am working very hard on controlling that. I am going back to basics so I can shrink my tummy some more, I have not been good about going to the gym this summer but the plan is to hit it this fall when the kids go back to school. I wish you the best of luck on whatever path you decide to go down, please feel free to p.m. me if you have any questions. :wub:

Today I hit 80lbs down Its just soooooo crazy lol!!!

If you have health ins I would not set around and wait I would go have it looked at asap.... Hope it is nothing big

Both stitches are non-absorbable they stay in you for ever.

As of this morning I am down 53lbs it is so exiting to loss every day. I do work hard at it but the neat thing is before the surgery I worked this hard and the most I ever got off was 30lbs. I am so happy I had this surgery........

I thought the same thing and still sometimes think what if I mess this up what if I don't ever loss another pound the what if could go on for ever. But with that bring said I had me surgery on march 3rd and am down 51lbs and am super excited to loss the rest of the weight I need to. I think if you make an effort to keep yourself in check you will do ok. Its when you think this is going to be an easy fix that you end up gaining your weight back. I hope all goes well and good luck.

It is so great to hear everyone's success story's. I at times get discouraged cause I know I am eating to much and it makes me so mad at myself I deff eat alot less then before but more then when I first got the surgery. I. Had my surgery on March 3rd and I am down 46.2lbs it is exciting but I still have so far to go I still need to loss 146lb to get to my goal weight :-0 it seems like I will never get their. Has anyone else had a problem with eating to much?

I would not worry to much I also could not eat much the first week...I would stick with power aid that helped me alot it did however take me three days to get 16oz down. On the third of May will be two months for me and I can now eat whatever I want just not alot I have over ate a couple of times its all a head game that's for sure. I am down 40lbs 13lb pre-op...... I hope it gets better for you soon. Keep us posted on your progress

The sleeve is when they cut out about 80% of you stomach and the plication they fold your stomach and stitch it

Good luck! Can't wait to hear how it went

It is crazy the way people act, in the long run we are all on the same journey. So I say get over yourself lol!

Thank you for the encouraging words. So what kind of things are you eating? Have you over eatin at all? Have you cheated? I am asking cause I have. I struggle with food soooooooo much that sometimes I think I will always be fat and this will not work for me.
