My BMI is 32 but I know doctors will do the sleeve at 30. I've heard of smaller people gaining to qualify to get the sleeve done.

I'm in Folsom but going to Mexico June 8th for mine! -
Anyone suffering from IBS have the sleeve? I have either constipation gas and bloating or diarrhea ALL the time due to sensitive and irritable bowels. TMI I know sorry, but I wanted to see if anyone with the sleeve has the same and how their IBS is after the sleeve?

I say embrace it!!! Eat to live not live to eat! This is my goal! Take care of yourself workout take your vitamins get your protein in and you won't become anorexic! Care for your body don't let yourself be malnourished and you'll be fine! Eating now is upkeep! Gasoline for your body! You don't have to enjoy putting gas in your car ya know!!! Good luck Hun you'll be fine! ❤️????????

I'm only telling my mother who is going with me and having it done the same day! It's no one business!! People are mean nasty and judgy and I don't have time for that!!! My BMI is on the lower side and I don't want to hear "oh you don't need it" or "just diet and exercise" Uh clearly that's not working for me! Lol It's really a personal choice I feel it's private. I mean do you tell everyone you meet that you are a vegetarian or don't use salt on your food etc.... or feel the need to tell them any other eating routines or health habits you have? I don't see why we would tell everyone anyway. Hi I'm April I had the gastric sleeve..... ???? no one cares, it just opens you up for people to be negative and ugly!

Dr Garcia in Tijuana Florence health systems
alindsey posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Anyone used him? Any reviews on him or the facility? -
I had a addiction to it also. Drank it everyday all day!!! I quit by just having one with each meal. Then just having one a day then a couple a week. I slowly cut them down to like now I have one once a month if even and they aren't as good as they used to be!! I'm set for my sleeve June 8th and the thought of never having a diet coke again doesn't bother me! I never thought I'd say that!!! Cutting down was hard! I got headaches at first but they got better after a couple weeks. id eat drink lots of Water and take ibuprofen or excedrine! Good luck

It's not easy it's a tool!! All the people who say that are just jealous!!! Scared you'll be or are hotter then them ????

Im sleeving June 8th and just nervous about being hungry, getting weak, having headaches, and low blood sugar!!! I hardly made it from breakfast to lunch today lol!!!! Lord help me!!
-
This is what I love to hear!!!!! Thx so much! So encouraging
-
I was just starving I'm not sure! Im trying to cut back in these months before surgery. I really hope after the sleeve my hunger isn't so bad! I hope once I know I really can't pig out because of my sleeve I'll just get it off my mind!
-
Thanks jewel. I've heard it's easier to loose the first 6 months!!! I think that's a great idea to shoot below goal!!!! I've never thought of this but it makes since!!! Thx
-
So I keep reading about it! How long has it lasted for each of you guys?
-
Thx Chris!!! Great info! I'm even more excited now!!!!!!!
-
That's a fact of life people are negative towards heavier people!! They stereotype always have always will!!! Being with someone and wondering if they would want you if you were still big..... The answer well it is what it is and people are mean!!! I guess the key is finding a decent human being out there!! There a few good ones left! Gotta kiss a lot of frogs they say lol

1 week post op no weight loss?
alindsey replied to Sherry0404's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don't weigh everyday!!! Weigh once a week at most or every 2 weeks! Measure inches if you need to do something more often. Water weight can fluctuate up to 10lbs (esp after surgery)!and can be discouraging!! -
Hi me and my mom are having the sleeve June 8th, I was wondering about walking around Tijuana? Did it seem safe? We will be at the Marriott I love walking I'll want to walk a bunch and was wondering how it was??
