    Dont worry, im 6 days out and feel like a million bucks! I had an abnormal amount of air left in me. Its more like a big discomfort..Besides i dont think many people get it as bad as i did. No worries, life is good!

    Thanks..i hope so:)
  4. Hi guys, i appreciate the time people are taking for the sake of helping others. I have been living in Costa Rica for 5 years and decided to get the gastric sleeve here, the hospitals are 5 star and the price is about half. Im 33 male 5'6" and about 218 pounds. I have a fairly low bmi for this procedure but i have been struggling my entire life. How does this surgery benefit people with relatively low BMI's if all post op measures are followed? Do men experience hair loss as well? Thanks for the help!
  5. I chose a top clinic and paid around 11K including all the blood work, therapist etc. Send me your email and i can help you out
  6. Here in Costa Rica they do not put you liqued only pre surgery. Said it is too stressful and hasn't been a major factor in the past. Do i just stop 12 hours before? Thanks
  7. Thanks for the help everyone..now im experimenting to see if my ticker works!
  8. Thanks, i am looking forward to not worrying everyday!
  9. Hi, im a newbie and appreciate all the help. Im a 33 year old male, fluctuating from 175 pounds to 215 pounds since i can remember. I have a binging issue and not a frequent eating issue. First question.. although i am low on the BMI, will the lap band be effective and the surgery of choice for people who stuff all meals and snacks into 1 private nightly event. Does the band work equally on men and women? Im sure most of my disorder is in my head but i think the harm of these weight fluctuations are worse than a surgical solution. Thanks
