    Tyler texas sleeve peeps

    Hope you are recovering nicely after your surgery. I am amazed at how much energy I have now. I am on week four and about to begin regular foods (protein). It is great Are you on full liquids. I lived on Isopure and pure Protein shakes. The shakes have 35 grams of protein and isopure has 40 grams. That is pretty much teh daily intake. I then had an outshine popsicle in the evenings and oh yeah plenty of Water witha little cranberry juice. Down 21 pounds since April 19, 2014. How are you feeling?

    Mexico Revision?

    Had a band to sleeve revision in Mexico on April 19, 2014. Wonderful experience. It costs 9 thousand. Here in the states, they wanted 8 thousand just to remove my band. You stay a a hotel in Eagle Pass and the hospital sends a driver to pick you up. She drives you across teh border to the hospital which is one mile away. I met with Dr. Alvarez and was blown away by his bedside manner. He said there was a 50/50 chance I would only be able to do the removal due to scar tissue from teh band. However, Dr. Spivak did my lapband and he is an excellent surgeon. Dr. Alvarex said that my chances went up tremendously. I went upstairs to my room and within 2 hours was in surgery. My surgery lasted about 2 hours with post-op. Surgery was on Saturday and went home on Monday. Dr. Alvarez came and checked on me three times a day and even when I got home he has emailed me.Great experience so far. Down 11.5 pounds today. Feel amazing.
