I'm in Medford Oregon and was sleeved almost three years ago by Dr. Aceves in Mexico. I've had really great success and no complications! Good luck with your surgery!

So on the 18 th of September I will be 18 months out. I have lost about 120 lbs. I love the new me!! I had been pretty much eating what I wanted for the last year and just lately about 5 lbs crept back up on me. I realized I still didn't love my body! I made the decision that I had to complete the process and finally start looking into plastics. It's so hard to lose all this weight but see the skin hang that constantly reminds you of how fat you once were. I scheduled a TT and breast lift/augment for Oct 3rd. I have taken off the weight that was creeping back up and found that having this date planned has inspired me to lose even more than my goal. I want to be as little as I can before my surgery for better contouring and results. This is the best decision I've ever made and I'm so happy that 18months ago I had the guts to say enough is enough and I loved myself enough to make a choice to live and feel beautiful and strong and healthy! I love my sleeve!

Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
julester replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery march 2010 I went from 280 down to 160. I go up and down depending on the kind of calories I consume. If I don't concentrate on protein and eat sweets and junk I can climb. It's very easy to take off once I refocus though. I am at 162 as of today but last week was at 167.... I was obviously getting off track but caught myself and am now refocused!! -

So glad to hear how great you're doing. I should be getting my sleeve on April 13th. Your blog and others make it all sound possible!

HEY! I think Im doing pretty good. Im trying to get all my fluids in. Im still not very good with the protein shakes but the ones I have aren't totally awful. I have a little head hunger and I cant wait to move on to mushies or something else other than soup, it really does get boring.
The spasms do slow down and dont forget to take your nexium, because the new tummy makes ALL KIND of NOISE when I dont!

Sooooo...I got sleeved on the 18th and I'm doing great. Yesterday, day 5 was hard I think because the travel really took a toll on me and I didn't get any sleep the night before because the hotel we stayed at in LA was loud! I just felt kind of weak and had chills all day yesterday. I took a long nap and then also had a good nights sleep and today (day 6) I woke up at 4am ready to roar! I went for a walk at 5:30 and if felt great. I drank some water and it didn't hurt anymore so I tried a protein shake and viola! It went down!! yay! Maybe rest was all I needed! I think the swelling in my stomach went down and made room for the liquids to flow! Thats all for now! I will weigh in on Thursday but I can already tell that my body has changed! Loves to all! Jules

Dr. Aceves has now done over 900 surgeries with no leaks!! I paid $8750 for my sleeve and it was worth every dollar! He is such a great surgeon and a great guy as well. He told me that when he is not in surgery and away from the practice he feels "lost" This is definetly his calling and he says over and over I stand on my own two feet and that his reputation may be great but if you want to hear his faults just ask his wife. lol I cracked up when he said that because no one person is perfect but he is an amazing surgeon. I had my surgery on March 18th, I had great care, the facility was beautiful and I came home with energy and no need for pain meds. I love Dr. Aceves!
