I have AT&T I was able to get US tower in parts of Tijuana I think it depends on where you are in Tijuana I did not have any roaming charges or other charges on my bill

I was feeling the way that you do. I decided after getting to a size 46 in waist I was not going to buy any sizes bigger I felt tired all the time no energy my blood pressure was out of control In July 2012 I went to the operating room I started at 280 pounds I am now just over 3 months out I now weigh 190 wear size 32 in waist I feel great my blood pressure is normal without any meds I have never regretted having the surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat

I can't tell you how much better I feel now I can walk I don't have to take meds for ankle feet and knee pain my blood pressure is normal no more blood pressure meds so much more energy now

Thank You to everyone giving me encouragement through out this life changing journey

I don't think it is really a dumping syndrome just loose

I have notice it with foods high in sugar

I have been losing rapidly I started at 280 I had surgery July 7 2012 it is just over 3 months I am at 190 my original self goal was to get to 180 but now looking to get to 165-170 I am very close to my goal

You can take NSAID and it takes large doses over an extended period of time to cause bleeding taking a dose every now and again is ok you can even take daily doses for a period of time you stomach is not any different now than it was except it is smaller than before

Ppi is proton pump inhibitor. Prilosec and Prevacid are 2 types of them

I had my surgery in Mexico in July no problems there going or coming back across the border I felt safe during the whole trip

Today took some jeans back to exchange them for some smaller waist. I was in a 34 in waist so I decided I would get some 32 in waist and I would shrink into them but to my surprise I was able to wear them already. I feel so great I started my journey 3 months last Sunday started at a waistline of 46 inch + since I refused to buy bigger waist pants. Today 3 months later I am down to 190 pounds from 280 I had set my personal goal of 180 before changing it to 165-170 I am almost at goal I am so happy. I Delos much better no longer taking blood pressure meds ,and BP is down to normal

Have you tried either Prilosec or Prevacid to help with your stomach I felt like pain but was actually stomach acid you can try some Pepcid for a day or so until the other med kicks in buy the store brands it is cheaper

Samomom what are you eating and how much

I eat my protein drink my water and walk some not as much walking as I would like to I also limit my carbs but I don't deprive myself of anything either just stay with very small portions

I was sleeved July 7 2012 I was at 280 now 190 I feel great no more blood pressure meds dropped from size 46+ waist pants to a 33 inch waist now a 2XL shirt can now wear a med

You can take 2 for a total of 40 if that is what you are suppose to have or if you want call the DRs office for refill if you don't have any refills on it

You can try the Pepcid it should work and cost less get the store brand it is cheaper and is the same as name brand

Clear liquid diet depends on your DR some clear liquid is sugar free jello broth anything that you see through is considered clear liquid just remember sugar free

Just remember to eat your protein first and keep your carbs to a minimum I didn't deprive myself of anything just kept carb intake low

3 months ago today I had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico with Dr Almanza I have had a great experience over the last 3 months I started at 280 pounds I was wearing size 46+ pants I refused to buy anything bigger I was wearing 2 XL shirt had a circumference of my stomach of 56 inches Today I weigh 190 pounds I wear a 33 inch waist pants size medium to LG shirt my stomach circumference is 35 I am no longer on any blood pressure meds it has returned to normal I have a lot more energy now and no more Motrin or other meds for feet and ankle pain my knees no longer hurt I feel so much better

I was having the same feelings when I got sleeved it July it was the best thing for me I to was considering the band but chose the sleeve because of less complications and no need to continue follow up care the rest of you life to have adjustments I was also told I would lose more weight with the sleeve I am down almost 90 pounds and only 10-13 pounds from goal it will be 3 months tomorrow since surgery you will also have to weight several weeks before the band will even be inflated to help with weight loss then lots of adjustments there after

I can tell you my experience I have had guys chasing me but after I lost weight they are no longer interested because they are chasers but I know that I did the surgery for me I had to do it for health reasons. I feel so much better after I lost the weight my blood pressure is normal no meds my feet ankles and knees don't hurt I have more energy I sleep a lot better If someone wants me they want me for who I am not what I look like fat or skinny.

Maybe your NUT is a NUT for real the procedure is done on the outside of the stomach not the inside I would also think the stomach acids would breakdown staples and sutures inside the stomach

Yes eat your Protein first then veggie and fruit carbs last drink plenty of Water get 60-80 gm of protein a day

Yes you can have wine I am almost 3 months out I have drank wine with no problems but you can feel the effects a lot sooner I haven't tried beer yet
