Surgery March 8th 2013 HT 5'5 SW 195 CW 129

I had surgery on March 8th 2013. I used Dr. Garcia at ready for a change. Hospital MI doctor. I was low BMI to start with 5'5 200 pounds. Today I'm 130 pounds. Been maintaining for a few months now. I have 3 friends who also had the procedure in Mexico same result. Of your wondering about safety. I never felt any danger

I was sleeved March 8th. I was 195 pounds now I am 145 pounds. My goal is 135. I cant remember what my BMI was. Im 5'5. I think everyone who does the surgery should do it cause they want to no matter what the magic Bmi number is. I have been judged by people since my surgery people saying I didnt need it BUT it was my money my body my time. So who cares what people think. I feel amazing and I am more happier then ever!

My surgery date was 3/8. I started at 195 I am 5'5. Today I weight 153. I feel amazing!! I should work out much more then I do but im happy with my progess. I would like to lose about 20 more pounds. I am wearing a size 6 today. [ATTACH]14212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14214[/ATTACH]

20 pounds in a month is hardly a stall. Thats awesome! Make sure you have a scale that measures ounces. Sometimes a few ounces makes a difference. Weigh ur self same time everyday same amount of clothes. (I always weight in the morning with no clothes on). Always take Vitamins everyday. Dont focus so much on working out right away do small walks and little things. I learned only eat when im hungry and I dont worry about eating all the meals I just listen to my body and eat when im hungry. Watch out on drinking too many calories. Its really easy to do! It goes down easy lol. Its hard. The hardest part is going out to eat with family. I want to eat and keep eating my body doesnt let me. Sitting there at first felt awkward. I just want to eat like everyone else. Im getting use to it now and have a few learning lessons of eating too much and ending up in the bathroom throwing up for 20 mins. NOT FUN! At the end its worth it and I would do it again in a minute. Its crazy to know ill lose the weight and guess what....it wont come back!! Good luck in ur journey

135 is also my goal weight! Cant wait to get there. 18 more pounds to go. It does get harder the lower I get. So far no stalls more then 2 days with weight loss

Dang it I mean 3 months lol

Yes I was self pay. Its ok. I am use to the question. I have been up and down with weight for years and I have heart disease and high blood pressure in my family so I decided to stop it before it starts! I am very happy with my choice and feel great.

Hello everyone! I was sleeved 3/8 Dr. Garcia. I was 195 pounds bmi 33 I have lost 20 pounds so far!

Good luck to both of you! I was 5`5 195 pounds. I got sleeved March 8th. 2 Weeks after surgery I am down to 180 pounds! Dont worry about what other people say do it for yourself! I have had a lot of judgment about other ways to lose weight. With the sleeve its permanent as long as I work it right. No gym or trainer or diet pill can do that for me. I want to enjoy the foods I love in small portions of course! Good luck cant wait to hear your stories.

Dr Garcia say 17 days after surgery. I feel ya Im on liquid. Ill be 17 days Sunday. I cant wait. So tired of liquid diet!

You should be able to get something. ask for a happy pill! dont be scared TJ isnt as scary as everyone makes it sound

Fletcherette I hope you r feeling better now that your home. I hope all ur skinny dreams come true. Tell ur mom hello she was such a sweet lady! Good luck
