This was the best choice I could have ever done. I followed everything to the letter I was asked to do. Started at a size 42 waist a year ago. Down to a 30 waist . Lost 86 pounds. Lost over 80 inches in total between the neck chest arms belly waist thighs Loss all medications for diabetes high blood pressure and very high cholesterol Feeling great eating anything I want to eat anytime. Good luck to everyone

Yes I did measurements all the way through Neck lost 4.5 inches Chest lost 8.5 inches Waist lost 10 inches Arms lost .5 inches Legs lost 2 inches Started with a 40 inch waist and XML shirts Today down to a 30 inch waist and a med shirt Lost a total 86 pounds Down to 188 pounds now feeling great

I had my sleeve October 15 ,2012. I was the same over weight all my adult life or say heavy set guy. I was at 273 the night before. Now I'm at 188 in a 30 inch jean and a medium shirt. I feel awesome. I was the same tossing around the sleeve or lap band. In all the studies i did the lap and is foreign object in your body. Your body might erect it than u have to have surgery to remove it. Plus all the adjustments required throughout the entire time of the lap . After all the pros and cons i came up with the sleeve as the better choice. My only regret was i wish I ad done this 5 years sooner. I did go to Mexico for mine its not offered in Canada

It's been awhile since I have posted here guys. Surgery nov 15 2012 at Tijuana with Dr.Fernando Garcia April 15,2013 Weight loss to date 199 Total down 74 pounds and still dropping slowly now

The first time I tried food slowly everything did not go well at all. But I just spy trying and pounding through. Fruit was the hardest to get use to again and remember chew chew chew . That was the hardest part to remember to do after. But I do eat everything now I can say I did finally eat a cheese burger. My parents don't know I did this and was there or supper and I'd not have a lot of choice that night. Took awhile to eat but I did get it down with a struggle.

I'm down 73 pounds since November 15 ,2012 I eat anything now steak chicken pasta everything When I came home from Mexico I did jello and pudding for 2 weeks After 14 days I started eating chicken in small portions and liquid Breakfast and lunch I did 30 gram protein shakes and ate protein chicken shrimp white fish for supper I have eliminated all pop alcohol and wasted calorie food out of my life. I was in a 40 inch waste and now down to a 32 inch waist with a belt XXL shirt down to a medium/ large depending on the shirt

Sleeved November 15,2012 down to 200 best thing I have done. Only regret is should ate done this 5 years earlier in life. Thank you again to the entire team with F. Garcia

Every body is different. Your getting your Water in every day? Are you getting your Protein 60 grams a day chicken ,turkey,fish or shrimp ect? Are you trying to eat 6 times a day ? I'm kinda nibbling on protein all day . I never feel hungry but I take a bite here and there from 6am-8pm everyday 7 days a week. Don't worry about veggies and potatoes. Just work on the protein and water I do a Protein shake for Breakfast every day with crushed ice to make a smoothie out of it or orange juice and Protein powder Pound away at chicken,fish shrimp turkey,egg whites all day a bite here and there all day I'm eating and I lost 49 pounds in 49 days even through Christmas time and all the baking everywhere

Just relax you will feel like your in a 5 star resort. You will be pampered and looked after just like a day at the spa. Just remember to walk around lots after the surgery even if u don't want to walk. It makes everything feel better faster. I know you will want to just lay there but the more you walk the faster you will feel better. Every time they woke me up to give me meds into my IV I got up and walked around the floor. I think even the nurses thought I was crazy. Lots of as to get rid of . Only 2 ways to get it out . And it felt good every burp.

Don't be afraid it will be great enjoy the trip to the south enjoy the sun. Be happy the change is almost there for you. Just sit back and go with the ride.

Be happy . Your going to be in great hands down there. Just be ready follow your diet plan before going. Everything else will be smooth. Mi-hospital is an awesome place. My doctor was Fernando Garcia Contacts were Rosie and Melissa (melly) They are awesome. The hospital is a hospital it's 3floors high it's very clean you get your own room with a full bathroom/shower tv ect

Your advisors will be Rosie and Melissa They are both great and very help full. Be very positive and don't be afraid your in excellent hands. Everyone will treat you like a queen during your days there. It's like been at a 5 star hotel being at Mi-Hospital.

Don't be nervous at all. Everyone is like family. Just be ready for the change and look forward to the new body and be very positive. The hardest thing you have completed and that's the pre diet. Once you have board the plane your on the home stretch is how I looked at it. What place are you going to
