I told everyone after I can back to work from the surgery. I has so much positive responses and questions from people interested in the surgery. Everyone obviously knew I was big so I didn't really care what they thought. I was only out for 1 week. I took vacation so no one thought anything. I even told them I went to Mexico. I felt so good after my surgery I just wanted to share it. It's a very personal choice and you have to do what is right for you. I've lost 70 pounds since my surgery on Sept 27, 2013. I'm not sure I would have had such a great support system if I would have kept it a secret.

I feel full just like I used to before surgery. I feel like I ate a huge meal with just a few bites. If I take a few more I start to hiccup. Then I know it's time to stop.

It will come off. I am only 9 weeks out. I've already been thur three stalls. When I weight everyday it so discouraging. People are starting to notice the weight loss. When I have a stall I won't lose anything for 2 or 3 weeks and the step in the scale and lost 5 pounds in 2 or 3 days. I decided for my self not to weight everything. I get to stressed out. When I sat down and Added up my numbers i was surprised. I was sleeved Sept 27 2013. I'm down 67 pounds including pre op. I've never lost 67 pounds on my own!!!

I just hit 65 pound loss and I am now just noticing my clothes are loose. I was right there with you. Don't give up it will happen!

I stayed out for 10 days. I went back and felt fine. I sure your time off will depend on what type of work you do. I have an office job.

I have no problem telling then about my sleeve. They usually all have questions about it. Glad your doing well!!!!</blockquote> Have to tell you I am quite nervous about the hair loss thing. Theonlythingi have heard is to try to keep it at 90 gr of Protein.. I dunno. When were u sleeved? Mine was nov 12!! So I am a newbie!! Congrats on your wt loss!!! No hair loss yet! Knock on wood. Glad your doing well!

I was sleeved September 27 2013. I'm down 61 pounds including pre op. Starting weight 410. Current weight 349.

S Barbie, are you losing any hair yet? I am doing fantastic and so very happy, I feel so good. I agree, on the Monday what is my diet today. At 60 lbs I am just wondering when you noticed your hair thinning..and were there any bald spots? No hair loss yet. Knock on wood. People are finally starting to notice. In the last few days I've have numerous people wanting to know what diet I was on. I have no problem telling then about my sleeve. They usually all have questions about it. Glad your doing well!!!!

I started at 410. I was sleeved 09.27.13. Only eight weeks out. I hit 349 this morning. Still have a long way to go. I love my sleeve. Just wished I'd done it sooner. Zero complications. I finally feel normal. Not worrying when to start the next diet or what I'm going to eat next!

I could not agree more! Dr. Alvarez is the best. I was sleeved Sept 27. 2013. I'm down 60 pounds and I feel great. I don't feel like I've had surgery. I'm not obsessing over food. I'm not worried about what I'm eating next or the next Monday to come to start a new diet. Just wished I would have done it sooner!

I started at 410. I'm now at 352. I had my surgery 7 weeks ago. My 58 pound lost includes my pre op diet.

I have lost 33 pounds since surgery 7 weeks ago. Been slow lately. Not sure if it's because I lost 25 pounds in pre op. I started at 410 pre op and now I'm 352. I'm bummed I had a goal set for Thanksgiving at 340. I'm not going to make it.

I was sleeved 09.27.13

Are you continuing to do well? I am doing really well. I hope this continues too. I realize everyday I read on here how lucky I was to find Alvarez. How are you doing? I am doing great! I hit a little stall. But that is to be expected. I'm down 58 pounds (including pre op). Today makes 7 weeks since my surgery. I can eat everything I've tried with no issues. I had some blood work done just last week. Everything checked out very well. I feel normal like I never had surgery. Hope you doing just as we'll. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Alvarez.

I also tell everyone about surgery and that it was in Mexico. Everyone has been very positive about it. I even have others ask me about it because the are interested for themselves or other family members. I really don't care what they think. Its my life and my decision.

Dr Alvarez is the best! I was sleeved 09.27.13. I have lost 55 pounds including pre op. Best decision I ever made!

Wow I could have written this myself. My surgery was September 27. I started at 410. I lost 25 pre op and only 27 pounds since surgery. My total is 52 pounds loss. I am walking 1 to 2 miles 5 days a week. Also not eating carbs. My weight has stalled for over 2 weeks. I added a few carbs in on Saturday and lost 3 pounds since then. I have a major problem with constipation. I also lost 20 pounds with in the first 2 weeks if surgery. I seem to be the slowest loser ever. I also struggle with getting my water in. I just try to stay positive and think when I have in my life lost 52 in 2 months? I could not have done this on my own. I would have already given up by now because the weight loss is slow. I just keep telling myself I am eating 1/10 of what I used to eat in a day. The weight has to come off eventually. Just try to stay positive. Maybe we are slower loser. But we are losing. And we will lose 100 pounds by six months!!!!!

I am over 5 weeks out and mine is the same way. I feel that way with certain foods. I do feel like it's getting better as time goes by.

Great thanks. Going to ask for it.

I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on Sept 27, 2013. Excellent doctor. Any questions let me know.

Mine was 45 min.

Hi I'm interested. Please let me know how much for shipping. Thanks.
