Hey ruperto, congratulations on taking the next step for a better future! My suggestions to you are remain positive, have patience (in all areas, weight loss and in your recovery) and stay persistent even when things aren't looking so bright.

This isn't going to be easy breezy.. nothing worth doing ever is. One thing I know for a fact though is all the ups and downs are more than worth the results.

Stay strong and soon you will be a LOSER like me and all the rest of us Sleevers.

Congrats on your decision, Ruperto! It was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I was sleeved on 12/31/2011, and as of today, I have lost 80 lbs (some it was during my preop diet). I feel great! You will be too in no time at all! Again, congrats!!

Thank you! Congrats to you on your 80lb weight loss! That is amazing. I am very optimistic about the surgery and honestly can't wait for it. I am nervous however, about the first couple of weeks but I know that I will get thru it.
