Good luck!

I never had a "nervous" stomach until I was sleeved, now my emotions totally affect how much ( if anything) i can eat/drink.

You look absolutely awesome! Alot younger!

12 lbs in 6 days that's awesome. Especially for a lower bmi-er! I'm a lower bmi-er and I don't recall losing that much that quickly. I'm 6 months out now and am at goal. You'll have faster/slower loss at times, but the inches still seem to come off during a stall... Try really hard to get in your h20/protein...Pestering your doctor probably won't help though... Good luck and keep us posted on your success! You'll lose, don't worry...

I believe i was told it took an hour or so....

you'll lose, but you'll have stalls where you don't lose weight but still lose inches! Everyone's loss and rate of loss is different.

I liked my experience with Dr. Almanza, but the hospital is not like the ones in the U.S. It is small/not fancy/but very clean. The price is relative to what you get. You don't get pampered, but you get good care at Jerusalem Hospital...

you all look fantastic!!!

I'm 6 months out and the loss has not stopped! It started at about 2 months out and has continued steadily. I take all the vitamins/protein etc.as recommended and still losing hair. I think this is very common and unpreventable from what I have read...

You're an inspiration to all of us keep it up! So happy for you...

I need to purge my closet as well, but it's so hard. I keep thinking "I may need that someday" can't get out of that Mind-set... Will get there eventually I guess...

I'm 95 miles from your doc in Herrin Il. I can be your VST buddy though. I can't drive that far right now, but I will be your buddy! Keep in touch and hang in there! We're all here for you...

You can do it with the sleeve. That is a reasonable goal...

I'm across the river from Golconda Il. in western Ky. How far is your doctor from there?

Are you near southern il. western ky?

My family is doing and saying the same things. I think they'll get use to it. I've come this far and I didn't stop until I reached my goal...

i'd wait as well...

1. Buying cute clothes 2. Having people say i'm too little (i don't think i am so that's what counts) 3. Feeling healthy/energetic

Good luck to you!!!

Our stats are nearly identical, but my surgery weight was 186, have lost 65 lbs. I now weigh 121 as well! and wear 5/6 pants. I'm 5'3" and am 6 months out as of feb 29th...

well, okay.. I don't know...

It may be stomach acid. It gives the feeling of hunger. OTC prilosec can help it. It helped me...

I reached goal but still have to use my c-pap...I was hoping I could stop using it but not now the doc says...

good luck to you!!!

I had a friend who saw a movie about mexico selling organs and was very concerned when I told him I was going to mexico for surgery!LMAO!
