  1. Cool mama, the suspense is killing me! I hope all went well and you're walk walk walking.
  2. Similar to the story of my life. Again and again and so on.
  3. Oh goodness, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm prayin for you. Please keep us posted.
  4. I think he was also mentioned on the show "the dr's" Lezzie, doh!! I'm on my phone. Didnt take time to read the fine print! Its all fine print on my phone. Lol Amanda, I think garcia. But it's not written in stone.
  5. I. Can. not. Wait. To. Hear. More!!!!
  6. You have a message. Lol and I should have said disc, not tape. I couldn't do a thing with a tape.
  7. This? http://www.newsweekshowcase.com/health/doctor-profiles/Obesity-Control-Center
  8. I emailed dr. Garcia and asked of he'd give me a copy of my procedure. He said he would. Just thought id pass that along.
  9. Maybe so! I'm just so torn!!
  10. I wonder, why don't I hear more about dr. Ponce de leon? I know he taught drs like Kelly, Almanza and Garcia, which is awesome! He also sleeved Almanza, as I understand it. I have a very smart friend who used to be active here. She says she's very happy and that she wouldn't go to anyone other than Dr. Ponce dr Leon. I've seen videos of him at work and of the actual inside view of surgery and I'm very impressed. I've talked to a couple members here who've gone to him and are happy.
  11. Sweet Susie is your pic showing what you were able to finish? Thanks everyone who joined in! Excited for more pics!!
  12. Oh cool mama, I'm so excited for you!!! Do keep us updated. Can't wait to hear about your trip an experience!!!
  13. I know it's not popular but I 100% suggest you look into the raw vegan diet and do it for one week and see if that doesn't jump start things. Or. Maybe just start with a green smoothie every day for Breakfast. Are you getting your Water in? Eating too much sodium?
  14. Really, no Greek yogurt? But it's sooo yummy! *pout
  15. Just a thought. In a sleeve book I read, the dr. Says to set a timer for 30 minutes and don't eat past that time. I haven't had surgery yet but he's a well known surgeon so I think he's onto something.
  16. My mistake. I guess the words meal and bite threw me off.
  17. It seems awfully early to be eating solids! Maybe go back to protein shakes. Are you on an antacid?
  18. I did a search here on vst and found a thread woth 45 replies that had a lot if happy patients. I have to say that I'd go to him if I coul afford the 1,000$ more. Sigh. Id link you but I'm on my phone.
  19. Dr. Pdl uses a 36 I believe it was.
  20. Well Garcia, dr. Ponce de leon and Almanza (lightly) mostly because I like his price and that he uses glue. Almanza being the dr. With fast losing patience and Garcia next. But this might just be because I can't find a ton of follow up on pdl patience. I'm so unsettled about who to choose. It's driving me insane. Does dr. Almanza use blood thinners? What does e use on the legs during surgery?
