Dano here

i am in mexicali right now .i have had sleeve put in by Alberto Aceves 12/4/08

i have lost over 100 lbs and now i am recovering from a Tummy Tuck, muscle repair,lipo, that i had done 14 days ago by dr Manual Bello and all is going great..I have been on a rapid ride.

i weighed in at 195 when i got here my heaveyest was 308 i have a muscler build and i went from a size 44 to 32 and when my swelling goes down i may be a 30..i was buying medium shirts in the mall yesterday, that was pretty cool.

in 7 monthes i will have lost more than my goal weight and had my excess skin removed after 20 years of being obese/overweight feeling like all things / programs that i have tried so hard that i was never going to lose my weight and in just 7 monthes all my dreams have been answered...i will post my pictures up when i get home..i stayed in Alamater hospital an xtra 10 days just to speed my recovery and be able to relax and not have all the pressures that comes with being at home..

I wish everybody the best of luck

thank you

Hey Dano -

We were in the van with you the day you had your TT -- Ruthi rode in with you from SD and Bob and I were picked up by Ernesto in Calexico. Remember? You and I were in Recovery together?? So glad to hear things are going well for you ... you'll love this site - we're all wonderful (and modest too!!) ... can't wait to see the "new" you.

Congrats!!!

      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.
