I had surgery in TJ with Dr. Ismael Vazquez-Bailon. Him and his staff are great. I have never had better medical care. He called me several times after surgery to make sure I was doing well and has always been available by text.

Congratulations!

I never felt any pain. They gave me pain medication through IV and I did not need anything after I got out of the hospital because I was never in any pain. I did not even have gas pains that a lot of people talk about. Everyone is different. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for your advice. I thought it was crazy to lose weight without following a diet 100%. Now that you are saying that it won't last, then I probably should follow the NUT instructions. I did change the way I eat. I did not eat fruit, vegetables, yogurt etc before the sleeve. I never liked healthy food and I am eating it now, and I am actually liking it. I did not think I was ever going to say I like vegetables and fruit. . Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

This is my first post. I was sleeved on 8/20/16 and I have lost 45 lbs so far. My starting weight was 225 lbs. At first, I followed all the NUT instructions, and then I found out that I lose exactly the same amount of weight if I eat whatever I want (I don't usually eat sweets). I try to make healthy choices for the most part but for dinner I eat whatever I make for my family just a very small portion. Does anyone here have the same experience as me?
