kimygirl 3 Posted October 6, 2016 Good luck I had mine with Dr. Alvarez who are you having yours with? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lori Orr 29 Posted October 6, 2016 So far looking like Dr. Illan. I haven't made a final decision yet. His office has offered me my surgery date and I'll know by this time tomorrow what I'm going to do. How was Dr. Alvarez? How are you feeling a week out? Still on Clear liquids?

kimygirl 3 Posted October 6, 2016 I'm almost 4 weeks out on soft food stage. I had to go to Mexico cause my insurance didn't cover. Had to do a lot of research. Everyone calls him Dr. A. He is one of the top Bariatric doctors in the world. It was a great experience. But know that I'm eating more substance I feel like a have something caught in my chest a lot. I'm trying to figure out if I'm eating to fast or to much or what. No one answered here so I guess I will email my Dr. I've lost 20 pounds since surgery. No predict cause my BMI was not quit 32. It's not super easy but it's worth it. A lot of the problems are in our heads. It's an adjustment. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsPenguin 103 Posted January 8, 2017 I'll be 50 in may. I am just over a month post-op and I've lost 25 lbs. It's been a good experience so far. I'm eating about 1/2 to 3/4 cup , 4 or 5 times a day. Still on soft foods ... that feels safe right now. Great to see all the rest of you 'almost 50's' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klette0147 91 Posted January 19, 2017 I was sleeved aged 59 in Glasgow, August 2016 and have lost 50 lbs. I'm a slow loser and am struggling to quit wine! I get that choked feeling when I eat too fast and that can lead to eating beyond full which is uncomfortable. I also think my metabolism is out having yoyo dieted for too many years!
