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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
