I had dr Garcia! Great surgical team! 4400 dollars! Very satisfied with my choice!

Starting weight 245 today 241.5

Please count me on Starting Weight 245.. Goal weight 235

I am an extremely slow loser! 9 pounds since surgery 3 weeks ago! You are doing great!!

I live in olney/ Rockville MD! Would love to have a support group or find one as I am struggling! Had surgery March 29th.. Gained 10 pounds after surgery and finally losing again.. So would love a support group!

Finally starting to feel 'normal' I'm 3 weeks out

I would like to be included.. Do I just post my starting weight?

Hello sleevers! I'm starting to experience excruciating lower back pain anytime I sit for long periods of time and try to get up or lie down and get up! It's painful to the point where I am in tears! I am 14 days post op today. Slow weight loss about 7 pounds from my surgery weight. I must admit that I don't always get my Water and Protein requirements in.. Anybody else experience this? I'm going to make a conscious effort to get the min protein and water in.

Thanks for your input guys! Yeah I get sick after eating eggs too Holly!!

Rockville? As in Rockville MD? That is where I am too! Wow cool! I would be up for a meet up for the DMV area!!

No way! You don't even look like the same person!! Congrats!!

Crossing the Mexican border as we speak headed to the airport :-)

I actually did the 10 day reboot after watching fat sick and nearly dead! It was great! Lost 20 pounds!! I felt awesome and kept it up for awhile.. Then the weight slowly started to creep back on.. That's the thing any program works it's the maintenance and the sticking with it that's been the problem with me! I do have a Breville and definitely plan on picking juicing back up a little later on.

*meant to say smoking have me NO pleasure..

I know it's soo easy to say 'just quit' but as an ex smoker myself it's just soo hard to do. I quit exactly 11 days before my surgery. Surgery was 3 days ago.. So I am fairly new to this.. Don't plan in picking them up ever again...I just said I really wanted to be healthy period..I have ( had) three addictions: food, cigs and wine! Have always wanted to have some control but could never do it! The surgeon said no smoking for 14 days prior.. I didn't quite make 14 days but at day 11 I was like ok that's it! It must be done! I would never forgive myself if I went through all of this and mess around and have something happened during surgery cause I couldn't put those things down.. Anyway long story short you have a choice.. Choose health over something that I found gave me more pleasure at all when I thought about it..Just a big illusion.. In fact smoking made me more nervous and anxious.. It's just no way to live! Anyway message me if you want to talk.. I know what u are going through!

Absolutely amazing! I'm also 5'9 and my goal was 150! (Just got sleeved 2 days ago) I think 170 could work based on your pics!! You look great!!!

Me too sleeveless!! I am also a size 12 and it SUCKS!! Hoping to be at least in a size 11!!

You look amazing!!

I am also headed to Mexico tomorrow actually! Surgery is tomorrow! I went with Dr Fernando Garcia... 4300 dollars plus airfare... Can't beat it! I have done my research and he is a very reputable doctor. I went through a company called ready4achange.com

Thank you soo much! I fly out tomorrow afternoon and this list will come in handy!!
