hi, i'm new to this site too. I met Dr. Lopez last year when i had Sleeve surgery with Dr. Owens. They work together in Mexico. I got my Sleeve from Dr. Owens so that I could stay in california for follow up or if i had a problem. Once i saw the hospital there though i felt much better. I hope i'm in the right place to post since i didnt have a Lap Band. I weighed 322 and weigh 190 now which is only 10 months later. I had a Sleeve because i had a whole laundry list of medical problems. My knees were giving out, I coulnt walk for any length of time because of leg and back pain. I had high blood pressure, asthma, headaches, fluid retention, muscle tingling and cramps. The list goes on!
I was using two inhalers, taking two medications for blood pressure, a diuretic...My daughter did not want to see me go to an early death. Here I am with a whole new life and it's good! My wife wanted me to sign up to get her new healthy recipees. She's a big support of how I eat now.
