I'm so happy with my sleeve. I just wanted to share this. I had tried everything before and have never lost weight like this. It's a miracle. It's still hard work but the helping hand I've been given is a god send. Just wanted all you new sleevers to hear some positives

HEre is where I am going, and WHY...... I have been fortunate in the fact that my cardiologist has been on board with me going to Mexico for self pay since my insurance does not cover..... my cardiologists office went over everything and helped me to choose a surgeon, he said NO MATTER where I go I am foremost HIS concern as his patient, and tha HE will be taking caring of me AFTER, so my choice was important to him as well.... after great discussion, and the cardiologist reviewing the desires he had for my selection..... I ended up with Dr. Cabrera.... my coordinator is CHristy... (and yes I see that the coordinators all seem linked... so confusing) but everything has gone so smooth from faxes, to phone calls, to instructions, to just everything, I am GAING reassurance the closer I get..... it does include a two day in hospital stay as well as two days at the Hilton...... my plus one is my 20 year old son...... and CHristy continues to go over every detail, and answer every panicy question I have.... I would have been so confused and scared if my cardiologist had not gotten on board for my doing this..... the sleeve is about 5,000.00 with this group of surgeons...... so glad I had help because doign research was baffling me in the start.... you can check it out here.... http://www.mexicobariatriccenter.com/ and remember I am goiing in two weeks and will do a FULL REPORT.....

Great job! Only 4 months...you are doing a wonderful job and I know you feel great! Blessings on your journey!,

Maybe Ketosis (symptom is bad breath). That is when you are not eating carbs so the body has to burn fat.

So I'm drinking my first shake (I work nights so this is my "breakfast"). I chose to make a mocha shake. Weird consistency but not bad. Just trying to get it down lol

Congrats JD!!! Dnt rush the liquids. :-) stay strong.

I had mine on the 16th. Im hoping to get to purees tomorrow at my followup. Good luck and speedy recovery

Hey everyone just had surgery at 730 am...
So far so good... Was kinda hesitant at first because I was so nervous about afterwards but so far it's been good tomorrow I check for any leaks which my surgeon does in surgery as well an there was none
Tomorrow I can start drinking liquids!!
Today just has been mouth swabs

Let me start by thanking you and your husband/family for your service to this country! While I'm a week pre-op, I just want to offer you some encouragment and well wishes. I have read stories of people who drink all through the day using a sippy cup, just always taking little sips. Also, try your liquids at different temperatures. This just might have to be a trial and error until you get through this. Best of luck and keep us posted.
