    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from elfnow in Firm skin   
    I used the ITWorks wraps and gel for a while. It was great. Nothing is permanent until you get under the knife.
    I have lots of wraps I never used I can sell to you at a super discounted rate if you want them.
    I am no longer a distributor and I am not using them either so if you want to try them I would be happy to send them if you pay a little over shipping.

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from TheWigster in Stall is depressing me :-(   
    I can assure you this is NOT a stall. A stall is no lbs or inches lost in over 30 days. You are no where near that.
    Are you measuring? My guess is no. You need to take your measurements as this is what is happening right now.
    Good luck

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from katesuccess in Explaining WLS results   
    Oh I think I highly diagree with your post!
    This is the easy easy out 100%! This has been a walk in the park for me. The weight literally melted off me for 10 months. Until I started exercising in October. It stopped 100% and in fact I gained weight. I stopped in January and dropped from a size 10 to a 6 in a matter of weeks.
    I watch what I eat only because the real estate is so small and I like to be a food snob. I do not feel hunger and I eat by the clock usually. I eat lots of fun foods and I stop when I am full which is usualy 3-4 normal bites in.
    1 little rack of lamb I am finished, 2 bites of flan or a cheese cake or whatever I am satisfied.
    I did this to have the most normal life I desired and I received it. I am now a tiny person with a normal life.
    if someone were to ask me do you recommend this, my answer is yes and you will be successful because thats what the numbers say.
    I am over a year out.

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from Mega_100 in How do I make this happen?   
    I personally went to Mexico. My insurance had a 100% excelusion. So I looked into cash pay here in Vegas and it was over 20k
    UHHH No I knew there had to be another way.
    The next day I found out about MX. I made the call it was $5500, I had the money a plane ticket and was on my way in a couple weeks.
    It was THE BEST experience of my life.
    Look into it. There is a form on here for all us patients. I used dr. Ponce de leon and have personally refered 3 of my freinds to him and they are are happy with their results.

    You will be just fine. Let's put our big girl panties on and walk into the OR.
    The time will pass anyway, Are you going to be miserable ( in more ways than 1) or will you decide that finally you will get your weight under control.
    I have a pretty decent back injury after 3 car accidents in 18 months and I did not have to work out to lose 100 lbs in 10 months. I still don't need to work out. It just stops my weight loss.
    So quit the whining and just do it already. You are going to feel silly for all the negative energy you put into this.

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from moite1 in 13 yr old getting sleeve. Need recommendations in Mexico   
    I used Dr Ponce de leon and I am more than happy to refer you,
    That comment of some so called surgeon in Mexico is 100% unasked for. The surgeons there are a hell of a lot better than any doctor here in the states. I told my husband that I would consider him, as he is a general surgeon as well, to treat our kids first before any so called doctor in the states.
    So that poster canl stfu.
    I say go for it. I paid$5500 and a cheap plane ticket. And my dear this was the easiest thing I have ever done for myself. Your kids will do great. Keep me posted!!!

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from OBXgirl in Stomach Stretching Already?   
    It's pretty darn near impossible to stretch your stomach out. Unless you are self abusing and even that is super painful I am sure you will not stretch it out,
    A Stall is no inches or weight loss in over 30 days. Are you measuring and taking photos weekly? Not everything is scale oriented.
    You should be able to eat more now. Your stomach is done healing, you should be getting all your Protein organically rather than chemically by shakes. You should be eating every 3-4 hours.
    Keep tracking and measure all your losses not just the scale.< /p>
    I dropped 2 full pant sizes from a 10 to a 6 with out losing a single pound.

    This crap of a journalism is very one sided. She obviously had some issues prior to this. MX is the cleanest place for surgery I have ever witnessed. Like I said I would bring my children to him in the event I had a choice.
    This is not sad its BS.

    I am sorry you have a pre op. That's no fun. You will be fine!
    I did not have a pre op and to this day I say it is the easiest best thing I have ever done.
    It would have been impossible to lose 120 lbs in 13 months and I lost it and have maintained and continue to lose by not doing anything but listen to my body and give it what it needs.

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from pupichupi in I love my hubby!   
    My husband did something similar. He drank shakes with me the first few months and dropped his carbs to a normal amount and cut his portions to a normal portion, Rather than eating 2 lbs of Pasta in a couple of days he cut it out altogether for instance. His reasoning is that he didn't want me to be this super hot woman and people wondering how he is with me, like I married down LOL
    Whatever it takes. He lost about 50 lbs. He got frustrated and he hasn't lost much in the last few months. I noticed he is eating out a lot more. But so be it. Its not my body.
    So keep up the support for him and be happy!

    “When they have this surgery they aren’t told that this may drastically alter forever and ever how you’re potentially going to eat,“ he said.
    WHAT???!!! did she really not know this is a permanent change?????? I personally went to MX. I did my research on this from the day I decided to do it. I found an amazing doctor who does alot of these to people on this board. I am 100$ perfect with amazing results. I have personally known 7 people who have gone to MX with great results. Guess what, they all knew this is a life changing alteration.
    I don't buy this for a second. Complications happen anywhere in the world. You must do your research to know the good and bad.
    This is so stupid.

    ASKSARAH - Sleeve got a reaction from JSC2014 in mirena and post op period   
    When you lose weight you are shrinking fat cells, you never lose them just shrink them.
    They are full of all sorta of things not just "fat" they are full of hormones especially estrogen and progesterone. Both of these will mess with your period. My period has yet to be regular like it used to be. I had the mirena taken out after my husband had a vasectomy so I am all natural now.
    Good luck.
