I'm so glad to hear you are done with surgery and doing so well! I'm sure you will do great!

I was 354 before surgery July 2012 and now I am 180 14 months out!!! Best thing I ever did!!!

Starting weight was 354... 7/30/12 DOS 334... CW 183... GW 170!!!

I totally agree with this, not only am I more hungry I can eat more for some reason but I always drop weight after anywhere between 3-8 lbs!

I'm over a year out and I still feel this way, I brush several times a day and keep a small bottle of mouth wash with me, sugar free mints and gum at all times when I'm at work, as a hairstylist I would hate for my breath to be offensive to my customers! But it defiantly is bothersome!

Mine didn't I was a 46 G before I lost 165 lbs and now I am a 38 F I really expected them to be smaller!

I started out at 354, the day of surgery 334, and at one year out I weighed 196, I am 13 months out and Im at 188, my goal is 170!

Great! I will check into that!

I have been big all my life, the smallest I ever was in high school after starving for months was 170 and I think I wore a 10/11 but that was almost 20 years ago, the transformation you will go thru along the way will be life changing but it also takes time for your mental picture of yourself to catch up with your body, even though I know I wear a 12 in dresses and pants and a large in most shirts, I still find myself going to the larger sizes first I pick up the size I wear and it just looks so small and I think there is no way I can fit in that so take a bigger size to the dressing room and its too big, it just takes a while to get the fat girl image out if your mind.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get no interest for 5 year with care credit, I have only seen no interest for 18 months?

Don't sell yourself short, when I was sleeved 13 months ago, I started out weighing 354 and on the day of surgery I was 334, I am 5'9"... My goal weight is also 170, and this morning I weighed 189 and I'm still losing weight pretty easily, I wear a size 12 now but I don't see any reason why I won't be a size 10 in few months, so don't be discouraged you are going to do great and if you follow the diet plan and exercise moderately I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get to a size 8 if you want to be!

I am over a year out and I have never had more than 60g a day, you're fine!

Sauceda in Monterray Mexico quoted me 13,700 for arm lift breast lift, lower body lift witch included tummy tuck and thighs, butt! I have seen photos of the work he does and it's amazing! Just email him any questions!

I am about 13 months out and I average 13lbs a month.

I would suggest Dr. James A. Davidson, he is awesome, I also consulted with Dr.Nick and he seemed great as well! I know Dr. Davidson has referred his family members to Dr. Nickolson as they don't like operate on family members. I chose Davidson because he was 1500.00 cheaper and I was self pay and a good friend of mine used him with great success!

I'm pretty sure my Dr is affiliated with it, try Dr James Davidson. Dallas Tx

Dr. Sauceda quoted me 13,700 for arms breast lift and lower body lift. I think just a tummy tuck is 5200.00 or just lower body lift is 7200.00.

I was sleeve by Dr. James Davidson last July, it was $11,000 and it included all pre- op except some labs, surgery and hospital fees and nutrition classes, also one- year of after care and classes!

I am in the process of trying to decide what to do about plastic surgery, strongly considering Dr.S, I really find you post informative and appreciate any information you can give me as I need similar Surgery as you had.

I did not use Dr. Nick but I did have a consult with him, I was also self pay and at the time he could have gotten me in to surgery in 2 weeks. I used Dr. Davidson just because I had a friend who used him with great results and he was 1,500 dollars cheaper than Dr. Nick.

I have consulted a surgeon in Mexico named Dr. Sauceda I was wondering if anyone had used him?

Also my sleeve is still very restrictive so as I mentioned before I try to eat protein first, I also avoid sugar & carbs but I can still only eat very small amount at a time.

Well I can eat just about anything without getting sick however I try to stay with Protein first then salad of veggies, I also have at least I shake a day if not two, I drink lots of coffee and unsweetened tea. I really would like to lose 20-30 more lbs so I can't help with maintaining yet.
