I did not have the option of recovery house but stayed at the Lucerna. This was a very nice property similar to a Marriott. Great pool, dining and service was wonderful. Many patients stay here for various bariatric and plastic surgeons in Mx to the staff is familier with providing great service and most speak English. Best wishes on your journey! You have selected a wonderful surgeon!

Thanks for starting this thread Irene... This really got me thinking! 3. Buying normal clothes - not going to the largest size clothes in a "normal" store and finding not a thing fits. I can now confidently go to a size 10 or less and know they will fit! 2. The way my husband wraps his arms around me and picks me up.... He has been there for me thick and thin! 1. The confidence that I feel when I walk into a room and see old friends. I know they are now thinking... "She looks great" and not "man has she let herself go!" Not just confidence but actually liking the person I now am, and not feeling like a dissappointment to myself any more!

Today starts my long weekend. We will be at the cabin for 4 nights and I will not have access to a scale. This will be the longest period of time I have ever gone w/o weighing myself (gulp!). Wish me luck!

Like Kelly L. above I too was a Dr Ramos-Kelly patient. Her experience mirrors my experience and can sum it up in a couple of words - Amazing and a blessing! I loved both Dr Kelly and Trish and have had and excellent experience thus far! I love my sleeve! I am constantly sharing my story with those who ask questions, are concerned about going to Mexico or are considering the VSG procedure. My surgery was $5300 on Jan 6, 2011. I know the price has increased to $5500 now - worth every single penny. Many people pay 3-4 x what I paid. Dr Kelly has performed 1000's of these procedures. His bedside manner is unlike any I have ever experienced. A kind caring Christian man who spent time conversing and learning about me and my family - and sharing about his. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend him to family and friends! Enjoy your journey! Kim

At the gym yesterday we worked with kettle balls - 50lb kettles. While doing squats holding one in my hands I commented on how heavy it was and how my knees where cracking...Then she reminded me that I used to carry more than that weight around every second of every day! I am so blessed to have this sleeve!

Another slow week - yo-yoing up and down the same half pound - today I dropped a little tiny bit. But 178.2 seems like a miracle to me - so I will take it! Now off to the gym to force my way closer to goal!

Congrats on your surgery and wishing you nothing but success and skinny jeans! Welcome to the losers bench!

My office happens to be right next to our corporate "wellness director" who is also a fitness buff and kick boxing instructor. She has been super supportive and helped me find my trainer who I am working out with 3x a week. Every single day as she arrives to her office she stops by my door and says something - recently she has called me: Skinny butt - which I would never been called prior to surgery! Skinny mini Slimmie Kimmie (not slimey Kimmie) Disappearing Diva The list goes on - I actually look forward to seeing her face everyday now - I used to dread seeing her - as she was the picture of true physical health and I was not! I am getting there though. I just realized this morning that I am 23.4 pounds away from my goal. Amazing! I love my sleeve! -
I just realized I have less than 25 pounds to go till goal, 23.4 to be exact! Hard to believe - I love my sleeve!
