Yes it has been a success. I have my re sleeve done six months ago now. I had 40 pounds to lose and now I only have nine pounds to lose. Because I don't have that much to lose the weight loss is slower than it would have been if I had a lot more to lose. I've had no issues whatsoever.

I had my resleeve done at mexico bariatric center in Tijuana. My cost was right around 5800.00

Yes. I have been. Had mine done in 2010 and was just resleeved 2 weeks ago. I lost 72 lb my first time. I regained 40 lbs. I have now lost 14 pounds in two and a half weeks. Everything is going great so far. I do feel more control this time. I think probably My stomach was left a tiny bit bigger the first time. I'm guessing they had less to work with this time than the first time.

I would love to form an in person Support group. Like maybe get together at a coffee shop Every few weeks or so.

Would like to find a local support group. I live in Burnsville but would love to go to one or start something in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis. Let me know if anyone is out there from my area.

I had my surgery done in Mexico. I agree with tobethin30. It has been a tremdous help, this website and also obesityhelp.com Talking to others about our similar experience is so helpful. While there isn't a forum on obesityhelp.com for us plicationers, there is one for vertical sleevers. Our surgeries are so similar with the same way of eating. (Don't say that on that website though. They tend to get a little uppity about it and insist our surgeries are so different. Even had one act angry with me that I said they were similar. Oh well. You ignore the stupid people. After my surgery in Mexico I didn't feel lost or on my own. I went to a local support group for several months. While nobody had my surgery, we all have the same eating and emotional issues.

Just curious where you read this info?

Sounds like you're doing fantastic. The walk/run thing sounds like it's working for you. Maybe I'll try that.

Just about 20 miles south of the cities.

I would say I definitely had some emotional issues to work through the first couple of months. The fact that I coudn't eat huge amounts anymore was a bigee. But now I wouldn't trade my new thin me for anything. No regrets.

IF I HEAR SOMEONE SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME, I AM GOING TO SCREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAMMMMM!!! Why do these people assume they know what its like to go through 30 years of trying to lose weight., a hundred different ways. Then finally we find something to help us finally lose our weight. The easy way out?!?!?!?!?!? You gotta be kidding me. I've never worked so hard to lose and keep my weight in my life!!!!! Who needs friends like that?? I sure don't.

Had my plication on July 16th of 2010. I've lost 72 lbs with 11 to go. I think I'm stuck here though. Been here for a good 6 months or so. It's ok. I'm a size 12 and was a size 24 before.

I'm 17 months out and it still happens to me too. It happens at church and it is embarrassing.

Yes, everything she said!!!!

Slow but sure. Very very slow.
