i had my sleeve in mid 2010 and lost alo of wieght since i wasnt eating anything. i was literally living on very low calorie liquids, because of the very restrictive nature of my sleeve and the pain i got when i ate. three months ago all of a sudden my sleeve is able to accomodate any type of food in any ammount at any time, i also have hunger pains back and i can eat and eat and eat its soo weird, i only eat healthy food, no bad carbs and very low good carbs, lots of veggies and good Protein (soy, i dont eat meat) and stuff like that, i dont eat sugar or drink sugary stuff often. i started gaining back weight by the day its very frustrating, its like i wont stay thin unless i starve myself and as soon as i put anything, anything in my mouth i gain 20 pounds over night.

i contacted dr aceves and nina sent me the questionaires and found it really weird that my sleeve can carry that much food. she detemined how much food i can eat by asking how much i can eat on a course of a full day and she was shocked.

since i am not from usa or canada or Mexico, im from kuwait, she said that dr aceves has no info on how they perform sleeves here and he needs to see me, he agreed to resleeve but only after seeing me and examining me.

i told her i will be in Tijuana in july for my butt lift as a result of my weight loss and it would be nice if i can do my resleeve after my butt lift since its a very long long long flight from kuwait to mexico, now shes just trying to see how she can convince dr aceves to do my resleeve after my buttlift.

I'm here at dr. Aceves' hospital waiting for surgery (lap band to sleeve revision) today). I hear dr. Aceves is one of the best ( I believe 'the best' but there are a number of 'the best' surgeons) and you will be in good hands. Best of luck, to you but I want to her more abut this butt lift. Are you doing other plastics as well, and if y comfortable sharing, can you share how much it will cost? I am thinking abut plastics (skin lift, implants) and want to know hw much I should start saving. I know, look at how optimistic I am already!

hey!

yes im sure you are in very good hands, ive researched alot and hes the best revision doctors around.

i am having my lift with the best body contouring surgeons in Mexico :-) Dra, Carmina Cardenas. to give you an idea of her prices, a butt lift with an open wing incision and a groin incision thighlift with Lipo and ft grafting to butt and hips costs 5000USd with an overnight stay at the hospital. she great and shes known as the seamstress for her unbelievably almost invisible scar lines. you can look up her reviews on makemeheal dot com under the butt lift forum

This is interesting. I wonder what size boogie your docs used. I notice here that I have seen written the sleeve reduces anywhere from 70%-85% of your stomach. Therefore I didn't think you could be resleeved. I'd like to hear more.

I know another lady who is getting re-sleeved with Dr. Aceves and I know another lady who already has been. They both said they had way too much relaxation in their sleeve. One lady said that she found out the sleeve was improperly done by a surgeon, who was at the time, not experienced. It can be done. It's a little riskier the second time but it can be done :-)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
