I have not been a member that long..however i have heard of you from your wife posting on these boards..i think its admirable that you would want to use your time and money to help others. I can not speak about what went down with you and alex as every side has a story..however out of curiosity..have you ever thought about creating a website for sleevers or people wanting to get sleeved and directing people on here to a link to that website so they can talk further with you about whats going on...you could help many more people that way...and you could proceed to accompany people as an advocate..

Perhaps im suggesting what you have already thought..but i figure it cant hurt to suggest it because i know so many people are in neex of the surgery and in need of stress free un-biased information regarding hospitals surgeons fees and the like.

Thank you for being a great guy..one in a million who actually cares enough to help people the way you do..words are probably not enough

I'm westcoast ladies friend and the couple has helped me every step of the way. Before surgery, after, and all the inbetweens. The couple really has not been anything but nice to me and I really cannot think of any way to make up for how much they have helped me. Besides talking to me and calming me down for hours everyday, never asking for anything in return, they email me reminders to walk and tell me what are fun things to do in Mexico.

I came down to Mexico alone and I would be a mess if not for the amazing work of these two people. When I woke alone in the hospital after surgery, the only thing I remembered was westcoastlady's husband's voice saying "WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK". Despite the pain I got up and walked, I have called them all hours of the day being nervous, excited, tired, and they have never failed to calm me down and make me feel reassured.

I tip my hat off to this couple and this website lost an amazing couple today. I'm just happy they were around when I went to Mx and I love this couple to death!

P.S. If you're ever in town, I need to take you guys out :)

I am actually the one who brought this to Alex's attention. Contrary to what has been posted, this had nothing to do with competition, money, or anything else. It had to do with concern for our members. Take a step back for a moment, and tell me, knowing the things that go on in this day and age, if seeing numerous posts of a man offering to accompany woman whom he has never met alone to a foreign country, or even his own wife offering his services, doesn't seem a bit suspicious? Unfortunately, we here about internet scams all the time, people falling for them, losing all their money, getting molested, or worse. We do not know the OP or his wife, so, based upon that, yes, we felt the need to protect our members by doing a little investigating to ensure their safety was not at risk. If that offends some of you, well, I will not say I am sorry because I firmly believe what was done was in the best interest of our members. I will continue to stand by my belief that any woman, or man for that matter, should be very cautious about accepting free or paid services from anyone who offers to accompany them alone to a foreign country when they are quite vulnerable and could be taken advantage of. I am not saying that is in any way the OP or his wife's intention, I am just saying better to err on the side of caution.

I didn't accuse anyone of basing this on money. I simply asked a question. As i said i am not in on the goings on behind the scenes here. Its apparent that there are many people on this website that are making money from facilitating services or referrals. That is apparently a legitimate business so not of any concern to me. They all look the same to me.I have no reason to care but it does breed competition and that is what i was referring to. Some people compete in a healthy way and others do it in an underhanded way. It is what it is. That is what is meant and that is all I said.

      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.
