I agree. I was sleeved by Dr Alvarez on Sept 27, 2013. I'm down 81 pounds. I feel great. Zero complications. Even though he is more expensive than others in Mexico he is top notch. My scars look great. I could not be happier.

Lovely momma, I'm a revision too. I found the sleeve surgery much easier than my band and the port revisions I had. It was also easier than the band removal. The post and pre diet was not easy, but it does give some great results.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am glad to hear you experiences were good. It does make me less stressed. I do not have to do a pre op diet as I weight 177 right now. But the post op sounds tough. I am so looking forward to getting this done, everyday is a struggle not to put on more weight

I had the surgery one month ago. I am just starting to feel stronger. I have been very tired and weak for the last month . Everything went well with the surgery. I have only lost 10 pounds this first month. I was hoping for more. I have 40 more pounds to go. I had a good experience with the surgery but with no follow up care it has been hard because I am not sure why I am so weak and sometimes shaky. I think i need some blood work done.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
