Hola!! Vamos a presentarnos segun nos unamos a nuestro grupo? Empiezo yo, tengo 38 años y soy nacida en Puerto Rico. Actualmente resido en la coste este de los Estados Unidos con mi esposo y mis dos hijos. Desde que cumplí los 18 años siempre he tenido una lucha constante con tratar de mantener un peso saludable y no "engordar". Dietas, ejercisios, pastillas, medicinas, hasta pastillas chinas q a saber que contenian. Hace tres años tuve mi baby y aumenté tanto de peso que aun no he podido bajarlo, y me di cuenta que necesitaba ayuda. Desde principios de éste año empezé a leer y estudiar todo sobre la cirujia bariátrica. Tomé la decisión de buscar un cirujano y empezar mi lucha para operarme. Actualmente terminé todo el proceso pre operatorio con mi cirujano, y estoy en espera que mi seguro médico me apruebe. A la misma vez, he mirado la alternativa de operarme en Mexico si mi seguro no me aprueba. Soy "lightweight", mi BMI es 35, y padezco de alta presión, alto colesterol y diabetes 2. Vamos a contar nuestras historias, gracias por leer!!!

News: After MRI, Neurological test, drs appointments, they think I have a eye muscle problem. No accidents, no previous issues, just my sleeve and my weight lost.... Now, I have to use prism eye glasses, and waiting for a eye surgery to try to repair my problem. I just can say, that I know that my problem its related with my weight loss and I always take my vitamins, water,etc...

Hi everyone! I had my sleeve surgery on sept 2013.... I reached my weight goal, and no diabetes or hbp meds! But, Im very concerned and want to know if anyone have vision or eye problems? I use eye glasses and contact lenses for long time ago....but 4 months after the surgery I began to notice a change in my left eye...Now its worse! My left eye crossed when I try to focus at distance....I saw 2 eye doctors and they cant tell me whats wrong with my eye! I'm desperate because I even drive my car.....anyone with this issue?!
