Welcome Alan I am from San Francisco I was sleeved in July 2012 just past my one year lost all of my weight in just 4 months and I have kept it off. I had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico Let me know if I can help in anyway

Yes you can fly after surgery

You will be able to fly after your surgery I was on a airplane 3 days after I had my surgery

As long as you don't have a fever you should be fine

You know an Alzheimer's patient once told me many many years ago it is not how deep you fish but how you wiggle the worm that mattets

All I can say is I had Dr Almanza do my surgery in July 2012 I had great results and would have him do it all over again

Hi falling angel I have the same issue but it is because at least for me that with the weight loss comes lower blood pressure when you make a sudden change in position the lower blood pressure tries to compensate which causes light headedness just keep this in mind and change your positions slowly it happens with people who have not even had VSG

Perez you will be fine don't worry about the 2 beers they will still do your surgery

Perez lets us know if you have questions I will help just pm me. If you like

Hi TJ things are going good for me how are things going for you

I would do some research on patients that have had bypass and later had to go to the sleeve to loose the weight. It is called sleeve over bypass surgery.

Hey SuperG Male Sleever here I have had a great success from my sleeve surgery last July lost 110 pounds in 4 months and reach my goal since then I lost another 10 pounds haven't gained any back and just maintaining now

I would be cautious of any form besides the pill form I will tell you that my online drug reference that is for Drs and nurses used at the hospitals says that it is only available in pill form and there is a form of Viagra in IV solution this online source was updated with the newest information available just seconds from me looking it up. I have never know of any other form besides pill form But I will say I do not know everything. Micromedex is the online source I used

JP do you think the the FDA would allow alcohol to be legal if it was to strip off paint it is a different alcohol it is just like DON'T swallow gum cause it will stick you stomach together it is wives tale

I started having my glass of wine at about 6 weeks out I have had no issues I would say that because alcohol is a blood thinner there is a risk of bleeding with a new surgery on your stomach and the stomach needs time to heal. I would also just like to put something out there why do people think that the sleeve is some sort of special surgery and ask some very odd questions. It is a surgery just like surgery anywhere else in your body. It has also been around for many years but was perfected a few years ago it was just not used for weight loss but to fix bleeding stomachs then it was discovered that with the procedure it kept people from gaining weight and would also cause weight loss due to the new size of the stomach. I have known of patients that have talked about it and knowing people have a similar surgery back in the 50's for bleeding ulcers and wow they lost weight. I am just putting this out there
