Sleeved 9 months ago in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was sleeved with Dr. Guillermo Alvarez over Labor Day Weekend,

everything went well. I have lost 121 lbs. My weight loss is slowing down, I am trying to up my Protein, and w:thumbup:, I am still losing inches.

I have gone from wearing a 4X 26/28 to 14/16 size clothes. I love my sleeve. It is restrictive, and I am so glad it is, it works for me.

I am 52 years old, and have Insulin Resistance. So my loss is slowing down. I am going for the goal. I have carried extra weight, for almost 30 years. I plan on reaching my goal by the end of this year. And Everyday

I thank Dr. Alvarez for giving me my life back. Best thing I have done

for myself in many, many years. Go for it.

Carol

Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here.

The weight loss is better at first, that's normal. The closer you get to goal the slower it comes off. But you have done a fantastic job!

I just realized I'm 9 months out too. So we were probably sleeved right about the same time.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
