May I ask how did you decide which sleeve procedure to go with vertical sleeve vs Plication sleeve. do you have any advice on pre & post surgery tips. Thanks.</p> Hey! Thank u! To be honest with you I didn't know about the plication sleeve until u just mentioned it. I wasn't given an option, it must be new? I'm not sure myself. But I got done the vertical sleeve and it's worked perfect for me! No complications and I didn't even need pain meds. Ofcourse everyone is different but keep optimistic and everything will be ok, follow instructions as your doc tells u to the T it's key point in this surgery. One thing enjoy very step of the way and don't get discouraged with the stalls everyone has them I've had two long ones but I think it's part of the process while your body readjusts to the new weight loss. Pre-op the first days will be challenging than u get used to it. My doc gave me the option to eat one salad a day the rest I had to have shakes. So I chose to have the salad with grilled chicken at night before 7 and go to sleep early since I was a night eater. Post-op the only advise is stay away from carbs, rice, bread, Pasta and all that junk food as much as u can. I haven't had any since my pre-op diet I think that's like 5 months now. I wish u all the best if u have any questions u could always message me. Don't doubt yourself or your sleeve it does work!! It's not another diet it's a lifestyle and I love it!!

muneca1029 117 Posted December 9, 2013 Hi guys thank u so much!! I couldn't believe it myself yesterday when I saw the scale. I try not to weight myself as much so I hadn't went to the scale in weeks and I thought I was still in a stall but to my surprise boom I'm 160. My goal weight is 145 but my surgeon will like for me to go down to 125-130.. I don't think I want to be that skinny, I want to be healthy. Very thankful to all you guys because this website was a very big part of my source and I would always come here and look at pics to encourage me to finish the process.. Hope I inspire someone like all u guys did with me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
