platinumbells

I recently just had a gastric sleeve done by Dr Rodriguez in Mexico (Facilitator-- BeLite Weight) . Today is my 1 mo. post-op anniversary, I had the surgery on 12/28 with slight complications. My lungs filled with Fluid and had a heart adema condition. Due to these complications, I had to stay at the resort/hospital in Juarez for 4 extra days! And, yes I had to pay for the extra days before I could be discharged. It was rough with no famil or friends there. However, the nursed, staff, and doctors were so kind and responsive to me. I've lost 16 pounds but feel I should be loosing more since I am not eating much at all and throwing up alot. I am doing everything correctly...eating right, taking my Vitamins but I am not loosing anymore weight!! Any advice? Please help, I am getting discouraged and depressed again. I thought I would loose more weight rapidly. I guess I just may be impatient but then again, I've been waiting for this for 13 years now ) Thanks. Alana

I think your absolutely right.....its Water weight im loosing...what about loosing the fat?

I do understand your fustration after reading other results on here. But you need to keep in perspective that is 16lbs that's not coming back and even if you continue losing only(in your view not mine) 16lbs a month that is almost 100lbs in 6 months. I have never had that kind of results with every weight loss program out there. So look at the big picture and keep you head up you are headed in the right direction. I am having surgery with Dr. Rod on 2/19. Does he know what caused your complications? Was it something preexisting or just random? Kind of personal but how much did you have to pay for the additional days? I am getting pretty close to depleting my savings with this if I had to come up with another 5000 grand I'm not sure what would happen. Source: Patient for 13 years Thank you for your support and reasoning. Complications were caused from having a high BMI (64). Another $1800 dollars for staying the extra days. And yes, this took all of my savings for this surgery....but I think and feel it was a good investment.
