150 Lbs...can It Be Done?
LVbigmom replied to ButterflyAMT06's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Started preop diet on July 26, 2011. Had sleeve surgery Aug 23, 2011. Started at 370lbs on preop diet. Today I weigh 161lbs. I have lost 209lbs. I am living proof that it can be done.- 11 replies

Guess what? I know someone who went to Mexico for surgery and had absolutely no complications and would do it again in a heart beat. That person is me!!! At 370lbs and no health insurance I could not afford the surgery in the US. I chose Mexico as a way so save my life despite all the well meaning naysayers in my life. No one can live my life but me. So glad I trusted myself to make the right decision to pave the road to a healthy lifestyle. I was sleeved on August 23, 2011 so it has been almost 1year now.

Time to get busy. Have a pleasant day no matter where your life takes you. Let your family and friends know you care about them, never know if you will get another chance.

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today, down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.

Would You Do The Gastric Sleeve Again?
LVbigmom replied to Barb7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I'd do it again. On July 26,2011 I weighed 370lbs. Today I weigh 184lbs. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I feel I wasted some of the best years of my life being morbidly obese. -
Reviewing Mds In Mexico And Facilities

Dr. Almanza is a safe surgeon. He did my surgery and I had no complications and was satisfied. -

I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I get them very cheap. If I really think about it they are actually expensive brand clothes that I just happened to purchase for a buck or two. No one need to know that I didn't spend $30-$40 for a pair of jeans. I change sizes about every couple of weeks so can't afford high price clothes.

If You're Over 50 And Wondering If You'll Feel Sexy Again.....
LVbigmom replied to Queen of Crop's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 49. I have been buying younger style clothes since losing quite a bit of weight. It's like I lost 20 years of my life due to obesity and I want to make up for it. Plus, I feel younger now too. -
Time to put this time taker down and get something done. Taking Dalton to cleanup yards at Rod and Gun, then clean out garage some.

Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Help With Hunger ?
LVbigmom replied to carbgrl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes, the removal of Ghrelin hormone really does work. It does not bother me when coworkers are eating Subway, pizza, McDonalds, etc. I definitely have more will power not to give into temptation. -
Whats Your New Years Resolution?!?!?!?!?!?!
LVbigmom replied to blackanese25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Continue losing weight, try to incorporate more exercise. Stay away from the thrift stores. I buy too many used clothes as I keep losing and then they get too big. No one needs 50 pairs of size 22w pants.lol
