Need advice on where to have gastric sleeve
AmandaRaeLeo replied to Georgiagirl27's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I chose Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. My experience was excellent. He is on the higher end of price, 8750, but worth it. He has so much experience and Almater Hospital is 100% full service, and the WLS patients have their own wing. -
How do you know they don't mean it or won't do it? You assume and aren't giving people enough credit. How do you know it's ineffective. It's hope, love, and well wishes being sent your way. It's a positive thing. Take it for what it is at its most basic level. Someone who cares enough to want things to work out well for you.

Anyone not take pain meds after surgery? (this is a constipation thread)
AmandaRaeLeo replied to NMJG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The day after my surgery I was pain med free. -
Other than "you will know". How do you know you're sliming or foaming? Are they the same?

Turn a negative into a positive by paying it forward, and send a message to Abercrombie and Fitch! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2013/05/14/abercrombie-and-fitch-homeless-brand-readjustment_n_3272498.html?ncid=txtlnkushpmg00000035&utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false -
Payback time, Abercrombie and Fitch!
AmandaRaeLeo replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree completely. They should market to whomever they want. The issue is when they make such bold and cruel statements demeaning females who don't fit their definition of "good enough". It would have been smarter had he kept his mouth shut and sold clothes. -

Slimies. Foamies.

I'm glad you're feeling better. -
Slimies. Foamies.
AmandaRaeLeo replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My slimies came from eating too fast/too much. My own fault and I'm working to fix bad habits. Only one time I slimed on a small bite of Pasta. I'm just not ready for pasta and My stomach rejected it. -

The only thing I could suggest is to walk around and burp. Don't push yourself to throw up. -

I had Mirena and in addition to my many horrible side effects I gained all 100 lbs back plus some that I'd lost on WW. I don't blame it completely, as I was letting my food addiction control me, but I think it contributed.

things to do in Mexcali ?
AmandaRaeLeo replied to rducharme's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
There was ac. I did my walking outside. It was mid-March and in the mid to upper 80's. Like I said, not much to do. -
things to do in Mexcali ?
AmandaRaeLeo replied to rducharme's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Mexicali is not a super happenin' place to be "touristy". We walked, quite a distance, to the mall postop and by the time I got there I was tuckered out. I did not notice, but I also wasn't looming for, health and beauty type shops. The mall was a typical mall. Tons if Chinese restaurants. Be warned, the portions are huge, per my mom. -
Mirena IUD vs. Birth control pills
AmandaRaeLeo replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in The Gals' Room
I don't know if you're planning for children or not but a good friend of mine suffered miscarriages after Mirena and was only able to sustain her last pregnancy with hormone therapy due to Mirena. Maybe research the side effects outside of here? I was both relieved and scared when I was able to find a source for my problems. Good luck to you. -

AmandaRaeLeo replied to rducharme's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Don't go to the Buffalo Steakhouse!!! There is a mall nearby. A Chinese restaurant across the street from Almater Hospital. A casino right by the Hotel Lucerna. That's about it... -
Donate your Abercrombie and Fitch. I'm going to see if the Red Cross is holding any blood drives in my area earmarked for Oklahoma.
