  1. Cali girl I'm Pania. And I was 32 bmi when I had surgery. Surgery weight was 190. I was actually 200 but lost 10 during pre op. I have no commodities and I self paid in Mexico. I was tired of dieting and I wanted to make a conscious health decision for my self. The sleeve has been the best tool I could have asked for. Of course you have to do your part but the sleeve limits your eating drastically I'm 167 23 pounds lost at my one month mark. I'm in a stall now but I'm losing inches. I fit comfortable in a size12 shorts and I used to be a snug 16 in a months time I be lost more weight than I would have. It's all possible because if the sleeve. You will not regret your decision best of luck to you
  2. I take the bariatric support multi Vitamin in cherry flavor that's chewable. It about $16 at the Vitamin Shoppe for 60 pills take one a day. They are made for bariatric patients and is very easy to digest plus they taste good. The manufacture is twin labs. Hope this helps

No one is changing my mind. I am doing it with or without your blessings. I'm tired of dieting. I need a tool to assist me in my journey.
