I started with a BMI of 32 and 3 1/2 months later and 56 lbs down, my BMI is 23! Best decision I could have made!

I had surgery on11/16/12 with a bmi of 32; now I have a bmi of 24.9 and Im down 48lbs! The last few weeks I have hit a stall but I am only 20lbs to goal!

I was sleeved in Mexico on 11/16/12 with a bmi of 32. So far I have lost 48 lbs and feel amazing! Yes i have/had co morbidities but even if i didn't I would still do it again. : )

Great. Sleeved 11-16-12 and down 42 lbs! : )

Happy New Year! I was sleeved 11-16-12 and I am down 40 lbs! I am so excited! : )

Alcohol will do it

I was sleeved by him on Nov.16 in Puerto Vallarta. He is awesome as well as his associates. I went through Alighterme and have no regrets!

Nope! : )

My bmi was 32 however I had several comorbidities. Even if I didnt i think I would have done the surgery because i wm worth it! The way I feel about myself does matter, i just wish that at 43 i could have done it when I was younger. : )

My first night was at the marriott and then two nights at the new hospital and then again at the marriott for two more nights. It was beautiful to wake up with flower petals all over the balcony! I am doing well, just eating popsicles cause i am so thirsty, but just not hungry for anything. Oh and im down 18lbs! : )

Yes I went through ALM with Dr. Lopez and couldn't be happier! Dr. Lopez is a very kind and caring doctor and his associates are as well. I am an R.N and felt that I received top-notch care at all times. My sister n law is in the process of booking with them. : )

I had surgery with him a week ago today. He,as well as his associates were great! Your in good hands. : )

I am a guzzler and am definately glad to hear that it wont always be sip sip sip! I am only 5 days out but i miss chugging!

Today,post-op three my sis n i were poolside and then this evening a trip to the Malecon boardwalk! The diesel emissions are extremely high if u venture off of the resort which is the only downside. We bought some souveniers and i splurged on a chunky amber n sliver bracelet and a shaved icee : ) I have been sipping steady, both hot n cold are soothing and comforting. I haven't had a bm but neither has my sis lol! I figure i will remedy that once im back home tomorrow. The first day and a half were pretty rough but that is quickly becoming a memory (knock wood).

I am a registered nurse so i understand pharmacology enough that when i got to the hotel today, the first thing i did was light up! The barium swallow test made me violently retch and this is no good with a new sleeve. Needless to say that now that I can hold something down i feel much better and my bp has dropped frpm 193/100 to 118/72. : )

Just had surgery on the 16th by Dr.Lopez and alighterme. Dr.Lopez is awesome and so are his associates Annakaren, Janice and Rhonda. The hospital is great and the Marriott is a dream. Thank all of you for making this possible!

Surgery early friday and felt great til the leak test saturday which triggered vomiting off and on until this morning which also raised my pressure. This morning i must have turned a corner because i feel so much better! I will say that having multiple c-sections and lap surgeries, i was unprepared for the amount of pain. I didnt regret the decision but was beginning to wonder if i made a mistake. I am so thankful to feel better.yay!

So i think i jumped the gun on that post! Third day postop and boy the first n second were rough and i am just seeing the light. Cant seem to keep anything down.

First day post-op and just passed my leak test! Can't believe how much easier this was than what expected. Hardley any gas or pain! : )

Today is the day!

You can expect for it to fade if not completely disappear.

I am going to Puerto Vallarta for surgery on the 15th. Scared and excited!

I have been counting down the days since March and it still feels unreal!

Please do tell! I have surgery with him this thursday : )
