I had a great experience with then as well.

I'm pretty sure 85% of us January sleeves have hit stalls by now. I've had 2 maybe 3 stalls already. I was sleeved on 01/06. I go down 3 one day to be up by 5 the next day. It's just back and fourth. I'm down 52 from HW and 47 from the day I was released from the hospital. I have up my Protein to 100g to help pull me out of the stalls. This is a hard journey. But I don't regret it one bit. I will say I have noticed a decrease in weight loss since I have been working out. I'm not sure if it's from gaining muscle or what.

I'm set for January 6 with Dr. Elisa Ortiz at the Mi hospital in Tijuana Mexico.

I'm 19 days post op. I have lost 22.6 pounds since I was released from the hospital on 01/08/14.

I am very new to this board and I'm schedule to be sleeved on February 28th with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I would like to speak to anyone who has undergone this surgery with Dr. Ortiz just to get an idea of what to expect from the patient's point of view. I'm extremely nervous...and excited, but more curious than anything else. Also, if anyone will be getting their procedure done there at the same time, please let me know.

Today makes two weeks post op for me. I'm down a total of 20 pounds it would have been more but I gained two pounds. The reason I gained is because I am so freaking constipated It should be against the law. I have not had a BM since the day I was released from the hospital which was 01/08/14. I am miserable. I just took a stool softener and about to get me something with Fiber in it to make me go more often.

I lot of people come home with the drain in. It all depends on your body to determine when the drain will be removed. If you are draining a lot it will stay in longer. If it's more on the red side inside of the clear side it will stay in longer.

That's awesome. My surgery was on the 6th as well and I have only lost 8 pounds. The day I was released from the hospital I weighted more at that time then when the day of surgery. They told me it was from the IV fluids. So I'm down 8 pounds since 01/08

Yeah! The day I got home I was up in weight but by today I was down 16lbs, I am pleased on how well everything went and everything they said happened just like that, I hope to get my drain tube out this week and my Dr said by the end of the month or the 1st week of march I could work out with weights and everything

It takes me a very long time to drink anything. I had pain after the jello cup. I have to learn how to listen to my sleeve. Now I know how over eating feels. Can you say gas out of this world. I thought I was doing great until that last spoonful. I will never do that again.

Just got my drain removed. Yay!!!!

Walk, walk, walk. That will get the gas down. Also get gas x strips.

Just got my drain removed. Yay!!!!

I'm back at the hotel and I must say I feel 20 times better. I don't know if it's all the room and privacy I have or what. But I'm feeling awesome. I guess the removal of the drain has a lot to do with it.

Speedy recovery shugsleeve!!
