    I'm not sure if you'd ever consider this, but since you didn't mention whether or not you would - I had Dr. Aceves in Mexicali in Mexico. He charged $11,250 for my band to sleeve revision and it was quite literally the best 11K I've EVER spent on myself. My life has changed so much for the better, and I thank GOD daily for him and my sleevie.

    Are There Any Old Gastric Sleevers?

    LilMissDiva Irene replied to kimmr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Yayyy Keke!! You're doing EXCELLENT! Kimmr, you got some excellent responses here. Consider your choices wisely of course. All I know is that my band did NOT work for me, whether I worked it or not. I was an excellent candidate for the band, but was never able to find the sweet spot... I had over 20 adjustments in the 2.5 years I had it. I lost 50 with the band and once I gained back to within pounds of my Band weight I decided to stop the insanity. Since being sleeved I have lost to my goal and far beyond, and honestly I still haven't reallys stopped losing yet due to my workout and eating habits. Save for this month of course being Christmas and all kinds of other personal holidays. Good luck to you!

    I agree with Lisa, please consult your surgeon. Though just so you know, I have felt this way too a few times. It was straight after eating more sugar than my body can handle at one sitting OR drinking dairy (Lactose issues). Please check in and let us know what your surgeon says!

    If You Are Having Little Or No Losses Right Now...

    LilMissDiva Irene replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I totally agree Sandy! Take the time to "smell the roses" as you trot along the path to your destination. I don't know how better way to put it. You have choice, go along enjoying the ride or choose to beat yourself up... haven't we done enough of that? I know I'd had, and I wasn't going to do that to myself anymore. If I couldn't love and respect me, how or why would I expect anyone else to love and respect me? Just isn't fair, IMO. Be fair to ourselves... that's all I'm saying!!

    Help from the Ladies

    SO.. How did it go???

    I know I can definitely eat a lot more this Holiday than last. I think it also has a lot to do with metabolism further out, and how much junk food one really is eating. I ate a lot of junk the last few days. At this time of the month, historically speaking is when I lose the most weight. This month I've lost a half pound, so to me that is maintaining. I do have a very high metabolism and I do workout quite a bit (in case anyone didn't know..LOL ) For me, Winter and most especially the entire month of December is always been the hardest for me. My husband and I were just talking about this the other day when I told him I maintained. I told him that was so great because normally Dec has me gaining 10 Lbs at the very least.

    Fun story, we went to basketball game last night. They gave out XL Mens T shirts to wear. I put mine on and it was like a dress on me. Anyhow, I seen a lady wearing hers, she was very slim and I thought wow, I wish I could be as slim as her! Then I realized her shirt was fitting tighter than mine was on me... What a slap of reality that was!!! ;)

    My shopping in the early morning was fun! I got 2 pairs of pants at Kohl's for 50 bucks... I also got 18 pairs of pants at Goodwill for 50 bucks!!! Wowww!! If you have the time and you have the dime, I'm saying - thrift shopping will save you tons. You will need time to sift through everything but they always do have a lot of cute stuff. :)

For MONTHS I've been stressing due to all the swellings, weight gains and whatever else comes with plastic surgery... however - as always with time comes healing and RESULTS!!! Every single day now I'm seeing humungous differences!! I'm over the moon right now, and THANKING EVERYTHING GOOD that I chose the right surgeons. They performed literally miracles for me. I. AM.

    Excruciating Pain!

    LilMissDiva Irene replied to abiluv7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Glad to hear that's all it was! I know dizziness is a very scary feeling. Big big hugs and healing prayers go out to you. Good for you on getting yourself to the ER immediately. Though the issue was easily remedied who knows how it wouldve turned out if you didn't get that checked ASAP.
