I was sleeved last July at age 61, no complications at all and life has never been better. I'm five months out and I've lost 94 lbs. I love my sleeve! Patti

Hello July Sleevers, I can't believe its been five months either. I'll be five months out on the 26th. I'm down 88 lbs and I'm only one pound away from Onederland. I love my sleeve and have not had one single problem. Thanks to Dr. Aceves for his fine work! Patty

Hi Ginny, I was sleeved at 61 years old in Mexico by Dr. Aceves. Love him and his staff, but I digress! I was 3 months out on October 26th and I've lost 70 lbs and 33 inches. I feel absolutely wonderful and I'm off all my medications. I walk 2-3 miles a day and I don't think I've felt this well since, well, I can't remember! Good luck to you and hope all goes well for you. Take care! Patti

Blackberry, Don't know if it will help much, but my PCP gave me a prescription for Nexium powder. Comes in a box with 30 individual foil packets. I just put it in some Water or juice, stir and drink it down. Might help you out some. Hope things get better soon! Patti

That includes approx. 7 lbs. pre-op. I only had 7 days for a low carb diet between the time I called Aceves' office and was scheduled. Have a good day!

and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 41 lbs. and 19 inches. Life is good! Gotta love the sleeve! Patti:biggrin0:

Well today is my one month anniversary (July 26th) and I've lost 41 lbs. and 19 inches. Gotta love the sleeve! Patti

I was looking at the thread after this one and any mention of Mexico is underlined in blue and when you scroll over it, it's Jerusalem Clinic. That's just wrong! Patti

Blackberryjuice, I take OTC Simply sleep, suppose to be non-habit forming. At first I dissolved 2 caplets in low calorie grape juice. I had to have some sleep, if nothing else, to heal properly. Gaby, Dr. Aceves' postop nurse gave me permission to do this. Patti

I'm so happy everything is going well for you, that group is just the best! Continued success!!!! Blessings, Patti

Thank you, this is exactly why I gave a detailed experience. Before I was sleeved I always looked for these kinds of posts. It gave me more of a perspective on what would happen from airport pickup back to airport delivery, and everything in between. Patti

You're a single digit girl. Congratulations! Great job! Patti
