lilly's journey

I was sleeved 10/8/12 and I don't drink soda. I used to drink 1-2 cans before surgery but just because I don't want to start my old habit I'll just stay away from it

I was feeling the same way right around 4weeks post op. I was told by other sleevers that it's normal. I think my depression lasted no more than 2 weeks. I don't have that much energy but the "feeling blue" is gone. It's ok get lots of rest your body had a major surgery your body is telling you to get some rest. Hugs

Hi Susan, you are an august sleever right? How is your sleeve treating you? I was sleeved in TJ Mex 10/8/12 and I have lost about 30lbs since surgery I'm so happy I was sleeved.

Maybe that guy wants to go back just to have a nice view again

I had c-section and vsg in my case VSG is nothing compared to my c-section. 2 after my vsg I was up walking and little to no pain. I was able to laugh and cough with out pain

I'm only about 5weeks post op and yes I like my progress so far

What about drinking Powerade or gatorade it has some electrolytes.

I was told that "a lighter me" started after an employee from ready4achange was trying to start their own "patient coordinating" on the side taking patients from ready4achange thats how a lighter me was started. Dr Garcia decided to take patients from both ready4achange & a lighterme. Knowing that and now they are scaring patients from Dr Garcia that is unfair. As a patient we are nervous about this major decision and for us to hear that it's not fair. I was sleeved 10/8/12 by Dr Garcia and was very happy with my care and my decision.

Check out your local thrift stores in your area they might have sales to get clothes at a cheaper price. I live in Phoenix, AZ and I love going to goodwill stores every other saturday they have everything 50% off

This are just some of the pictures I took. I stayed at the Marriot I was sleeved by Dr Garcia [ATTACH]6326[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]6332[/ATTACH]

I was sleeved 10/8/12 so far I have lost about 30 lbs since I started my wls journey. My experience with Dr Fernando Garcia was great he is a highly skilled surgeon I'm so glad I went with him. I was also looking for a surgeon months ago I had a diff one in mind and after finding so many great experiences w/ Dr Garcia I was sold. His entire staff is great and I'm very pleased with my results. Good luck on you wls journey. If you have more questions you can also send me a pm

I was sleed 10/8/12 by DR Garcia my experience was great.

Congrats on your 80lbs loss

I used ready4achange Alma was my coodinator and I liked my experience also the driver Samuel, Rosie and Melissa were great really sweet people. I was sleeved 10/8 Dr. Garcia is great highly skilled at what he does. I have lost 20lbs since surgery I feel great my incisions healed perfectly. I highly recomend Dr. Garcia

I had stiches on my incisions and took 2 showers there and 2 showers at the Marriot I had no problems

I was sleeved 10/8 and I went back to work 2weeks later. I was drinking 3 shakes and soups I have a desk job. I did feel very tired the first week but no other problems

Kimba46, I'm also 3 weeks post op and I feel depressed, I have no energy, I'm not hungry I have lots of things I wanted to do around the house but I really don't have the energy for it. I want this feeling to go away I have lots of things to be greatful for. So far it's been 2 days that I've been feeling like this. Anyone out there that can give us some pointers if you've gone through this.

I was sleeved 10/8/12 and I went through ready4achange I was really happy with them. They treated me and my hubby really good.
