Sleeved in 2008

[Suzannesh 376]

Hi Everyone,

Well, I am approaching almost 3 years of being sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. He is the very best doctor I could have ever gone too, and his staff are all GREAT. It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was the person who thought "what if I am the one person that this will not work on?". I was 63 when I had WLS. Well that was the wrong thing to think. I am the person that this DID work on.

It does take effort and work on my part to make this all happen. I tried to thank Dr. Aceves for what he did for me. He said "I only gave you the tool, you did all the work yourself, so take the credit for being successful." So, on that note I am taking the credit for my OWN success. It is not a diet, but a lifestyle change that is required. I never feel deprived.

Take care everyone,

Suzanne

Could you tell me about your journey? I have a lapband and want a sleeve. A friend of mine got a sleeve and another friend has a lapband. A friend with a lapband says her 2 siblings have sleeve and that the feeling of setiety and fullness goes away. Is that true?
