Oh, have a touched a nerve? Good. I am not the one calling myself butterbean. bubye, fatties

well good for you, we all have our own reasons for doing it, and some of us arent big fat heifers

Wow, you sound jealous. Get over yourself. A good surgeon looks at all the options, and makes the decision. I have a question for you? How could you let yourself get so obese that you would need the surgery anyways? Maybe you should stop telling all of us what is right and not right and be happy for someone that is trying to change their lives.

I am 3 weeks post op as of this past wed. I have lost 18lbs since surgery. stalled this week. No worries though as everyone is different. Also started eating real food this week, so that might have something to do with it. Once your new stomach and body stabilize, the weight will start to come off again. Dont worry about eating too much. You will know quickly if you have. I can only get about two bites of food in before I feel satified. You will lose weight. I am only taking in about 600 calories a day along with 35 min of light eliptical trainer, so I know I am not doing anytning wrong.

Sleeved Sept 19th in Puerto Vallarta. Great experience, minus the cancelled flights by American! Dr Lopez and his whole staff were very nice. Hospital was very very nice, but brush up on your spanish, as the nurses didnt speak very much english. The hardest thing for me was the two week pre op diet. Since the start of the pre op diet and since surgery 3 weeks ago, I have lost a total of 31 lbs. My BMI was not super high, around a 32.78, but nonetheless, I am happy with the outcome. It has dropped to below 29, and I was told that once that stabilizes, and you heal completely, the weight will start coming off quicker. I hit a stall this week, but its all good. Starting to eat real food again, although very very little, but everything is healing up nicely. No reason to be nervous. You will be well taken care of. Mexico drs and hospitals far superior in my opinion to facilities here.

Post op updates from Dr Lopez surgery in PV. To quote my wife: the whole experience felt like we were in a soap opera and the whole time we were treated as celebrities. From the time we got picked up from the airport, staying at an ocean view resort and spa and being waited on at a brand new and spotless hospital. All the surgeons were handsome and the nurses were gorgeous. It truly felt like a spa vacation. The trade off for not being able to swim and soak up the sun was well worth the on-going weight loss and how hot our bodies are going to be in a few month. Loved it loved it loved it!!! So excited about whats ahead. Totally recommend Dr Lopez in PV!!!

Hey i will be 3 weeks post op on wed. So far, this has been a amazing transformation for me. I started the pre op diet sept 5. I have lost 29lbs since that date. Since my surgery on sept 19th, I have lost almost 18lbs. Keep in mind i am male. I am 6ft2, and my start weight was 255lbs, starting bmi was alittle over 32. At 225.4lbs, and bmi is 28.92! My goal is 194, which is a bmi of 24.9. Thank you, dr lopez!

Yeah we got that too but that was from the dr. Hotel does not provide anything for free

Surgery two weeks ago. 18Lbs. 30Lbs sincw start of pre op diet sept 5

Here is what I am saying in porta Vallarta these things are not provided for you you need to prepare and bring me some things or purchase them at the resort when you check in I have no idea about Tijuana I did not say that Jenny's is lying to you so calm down and think about what I am sad you won't be able to eat for 2 days pretty much after your surgery except for ice chips in the hospital once you get out, you will only be able to take very small sips of water down Gatorade trust me or some clear broth or soup very small amounts don't be discouraged I am just telling you my experience which was all good

Look. I know what they have told you. I used alitghter me as well. At the marriot in pv they do not include that stuff for free. You have to purchase gatorade broth from tue restsurant as well as wster bottles. As well as wound dressing etc. I was there. Please listen.

coordinator, it was great. very nice experience. Love Puerto Vallarta

4 weeks since start of pre op diet or 4 weeks post surgery?

Well, I was at the hotel for 5 days two weeks ago. They do not provide complimentary popsicles, or broth. You have to pay for it. Now if your coordinator has a side deal set up, that is different, but I was there, and the hotel makes you pay for that stuff, trust me. Also, after the surgery, you will not be able to eat or even sip almost anything for a few days, so by then, you will be home or on your way home.

They might have popsicles there but you still have to pay for the food at a hotel. Broth is fine as well but you have to pay for it
