Weightbgone

I feel like I am losing slow as well I as sleeved March 15th and 43 pound weightloss does not include my pre-op diet because I too scared to weigh myself before the surgery so I weighed myself a day after I was sleeved and I weighed in at 234! I have lost 43lbs and I do not know if that is is slow or not but to me that is slow!!!!! I will get on the scale and it goes up a pound and down a pound the all of a sudden I will lose 4 to 5 lbs! Is there anyone else that is going through this as well? I am trying to hit a goal of 170 something by my bday!! What can I go to speed up my weight lost?

I know how you must fill ! I went to Mexico as well But I went with Dr. Almanza he was GREAT!!!! The reason why I choose him was because prior to me getting the sleeve I went to mexico and had a tummytuck and when I was there Dr. Almanza himself had the sleeve done on himself and I was stunned becaused I knew then that if he trusted his own life then I should be okay! After that 8months later I went back and was sleeved! My tummytuck was great as well as the sleeve! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! Goodluck!

Hi,

I am brand new to these boards. I have been researching, reading all the boards and watching youtube videos of people's experiences of having the vertical sleeve done in Mexico. The youtube videos all look professionally done. I have not found one negative post, well one where a woman complained they didn't give her any jello! So now I am beginning to wonder if it is all one big scam. That the posters on here are hired by the facilities to promote the surgery. I have talked by phone to a patient coordinator Sandy, of Dr. Ramous-Kelly in Tijuana. I am tentatively scheduled for July 12 th, but my family is having fits. The forms the office sent me to fill out list Bravo Development Group LLd as the person you send the initial deposit to. That is a company in California that develops websites? It is owned by Sandy Johnston. I am guessing they are the same person. I have two small children and don't want to lose a 1000.00 deposit if this is all a big scam.

If you guys are really patients what did you do to feel reassured? Is there any way to verify if this is all for real. My family all lives in Southern California I am in Indiana. Two of my sisters are nurses. They are going to ask doctors they work with if they have heard of Dr. Kelly or Dr. Aceves and what they know about the facilities. Is there anything else I can do. I appreciate anyones help or suggestions.

Thank you,

Cathi

Hello guys,

Since my sx I have only had a BM about 5 times and I think that is crazy! before the sx I went like 2 twice a week! But I think this may have an effect on my weight loss! I went out and bought laxatives today! I am still losing but I think I can lose more if I went regularly! Is anyone else going through the same thing?

I am almost 2 months post op and I am having the hardest time being able to keep meat dowm! Almost everytime I eat meat it makes me chest hurt really bad and then I vomit it all back up! Is anyone else having this problem??

^{I am having the same problem I barley every have to do the #2!!! I was thinking about getting more fiber or a pill to help me go because I am not regular at all!}

Congrats! I hope in the future I will be able to get pregnant! One of the reasons I got the sleeve!
