What do you do when they say you look to thin?
mamaof2 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am just hit my 1 year mark and for the last few months people are telling me that I've lost too much. I started at 201 pounds and now I'm at 119 pounds I'm only 5'2. I had three different people say that I look sick and people are asking if there's something wrong with me. I'm wondering if I should try to gain a little weight so that I can look healthier. But I'm terrified that it might be a spiral of gaining weight back. I am not sure I even could gain if I wanted to at this point. -

Thanks everyone for your input on this. I think you all are right. I have to do what is right for me and feel good about me. Trying to please everyone else is impossible. -
Replacement for Dr. Aceves?
mamaof2 replied to LighterSmarter's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr Beltran was excellent. I had surgery with Dr Aceves July 2013 and Dr Beltran was with Dr. Aceves. Dr. Beltran is very sweet, caring and compassionate just like Dr Aceves. He cared for me throughout my stay and made sure I was doing well and that I was taken care of. He did my follow up leak test and removed my drain. He did the barium swallow and X-rays to show me how my sleeve looked. If you are concerned about results I lost all my weight within 7 months. I went from 201 to 120. It has been an amazing journey. He learned from a master. Dr Aceves was a serious doctor and he treated he was not the "celebrity" type with the radio shows and Youtube videos but his reputation spoke for itself. His team runs like a well oiled machine. They know what to do. You will be in excellent hands! -
