CelticTexan 42 Posted August 13, 2021 I was 275 pounds in 2012. I was overweight, unhealthy, pre-diabetic. I did the Sleeve in Tijuana. My goal was to get down to 200. This morning, I was 193.8. I got the weight off, and have kept it off for 9 years. It works! If you consider it and treat it as a life change, it works. For 9 years, I have done my Protein Shakes twice a day. I do not eat carbs....I work out. I get full, I stop eating. I am 61 and my doc says I have the bloodwork of a man in his 30s. The first picture was a month before surgery. July 2012. The second picture was recent. April 2021. 9 1 2 Gabriela Ruanova, Luna Girl, PhenomenalWoman and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only issue was the initial paid meds made me nauseous. they changed that and all was good. I recommend it. And Tijuana was amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
