I was sleeved 4 years ago. Lost 130 lbs but have gained 30 back over the last few years. I would be interested in attending some sort of support group in this area if one were to be established. -
Dr. Kelly No Longer Working With Alightme- Safety Concerns Or Simply Business Issues?
mwlj_2010 replied to sirensiren's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr Kelly is doing his own booking now and not using A Lighter Me anymore...this of course ticks them off and IMHO, they suck for trying to destroy a GREAT doctor for their own financial gain. Shame on you A Lighter Me!!! -

Aceves Patients: Surgery Schduling...
mwlj_2010 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I booked with them on 5/26. My surgery was 5 days later on 5/31. I asked for a 'soon as possible date' because we were going on vacation the end of June and I wanted my incisions to be healed. -
I so agree with this. :nono:

Upping the calories without adding to the carbs is so hard for me but I know I need to as I've noticed that I loose more weight with more calories. Watching this thread, come on gals, give us some fresh new ideas! =)

Don't worry, it will pass after a few days.

Wow! A HUNDRED pounds!! Congratulations!!! -
Hi Linda! Pretty much the same stuff that goes on my facebook page ends up in my blog but if you would like to follow it my facebook profile is at Christie Stearns | Facebook
I'm glad you find my posts helpful!! That is why I try to be so detailed, not only for myself but for others because when I found other's blogs or videos before surgery I felt like it helped me so much.

Christie, I saw a comment you made on a post here, followed your siggie link to your blog and love all the helpful post, especially the ones on what you're eating. Thank you so much. I would also love to follow your facebook post that you mentioned in one of your post but I didn't see a link. Oh well, thank you. BTW, you're about 10 days ahead of me on your journey, I was sleeved on 5/31. =)

Think about a ship leaving Spain heading for America. One tiny change to its course and it will end up in a completely different place because it has to travel across the entire ocean. The same is true with our WLS journeys. The changes we make to our old lifestyles from sedentary to active, from eating high-fat/high-calorie foods to lower-fat and healthier balanced meals take our lives in a completely new direction. We are the captains of our lives. We can steer them in any direction we want and there is no timetable that says we have to get to goal by next week or next month. What is important is that we make the lifestyle changes necessary to reach our destination!

Tell your husband that I'm not fake and that my husband actually went with me to Dr Aceves. haha. Check my blog if you want to read of my experience so far. =) -
Cant decide / please help

Your story could be my very own. I ended up moving from lapbandtalk to verticalsleevetalk and getting a sleeve. Couldn't be happier. BTW, according to Dr Aceves nurse, they do just as many band to sleeve revisions as they do sleeves...
