Recently sleeved

After tossing the idea back and forth for the last few years I finally got my sleeve in December 2012. I went thought weight loss forever a Canadian company out of Saskatoon and the surgery was preformed by dr. Pompa at LIMARP in TJ, Mexico. I had a fabulous experience, no post op complications, and at almost 4 months out I have lost 67 lbs and over 40 inches. I don't remember the last time I felt this great!! My weight loss has slowed down and psychologically I am struggling with that a bit, but I am trying to take things one day at a time and be patient

I just found this forum so I look forward to sharingy experiences as well as reading about your experiences. I find that support is an extremely powerful tool that I try and use on a daily basis.

I had my surgery at LIMARP with Dr Pompa on March 12th and also had an excellent experience! How much weight have you lost? Have you had any troubles?

So far I have had an amazing journey. I am down 75lbs and I have never been so active in my life. N complications to date. I did take a PPI for the heart burn and I have 3 in my RX and then I will stop to see if I still require it or not. I find the psychological side of getting the sleeve the most difficult but I am slowly working my way through it. Best of luck in your journey

Thanks for the positive remarks as my surgery date is only a few weeks away and the nerves are really starting to kick in.
