I had some blood when I threw up. 7 weeks postop. It was red.

Me at Almater Hospital.

I'm a real patient. I've got the scars and the the occasional slimies to prove it! :-)

I like the roasted red pepper or spicy three pepper. So yummy! Market side or sabra.

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/74149-dr-aceves-mexicali-and-me/ This is my experience.

I used Dr. Aceves. My experience was amazing. First night in hotel, preop. 3 nights in hospital. My mom was with me. My room was private. She had to feed herself but stay with me no extra charge. If she opted for hotel over hospital it world have been on her dime. Dr. Aceves is 8750 out the door for a straight up sleeve. I posted a detailed account on the forum too.

My insurance completely excludes it so I went as a self pay to Mexico. My experience was better than I could have hoped for. I know Mx isn't for everyone, but remember its an option.

I walked. :-D lol!

I haven't dared yet, but I love wine and margaritas (especially patron).

I'm going on seven weeks postop and I'm getting dull achy twinges on my left side.

Yes! No! Um.... Yes?

I've always been a violent puker. Painfully violent.

I didn't go to TJ, I went to Mexicali. I felt perfectly safe there tho.

Where in Mx? Which surgeon?

I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to outgrow his current arrangements considering how in demand he is and his consistent patient satisfaction and loyal following.

My intent is not to over simplify, but I thought the idea behind maintenance was to gradually increase your intake (ie. calories, fat, healthy carbs) to find out where you stop losing, start maintaining, and prevent regaining?

OP: I know I'm addicted to food. I worry this obsession I have with food will switch from one bad extreme to another. Without knowing you personally I can only ask, have you researched that?
