    From sleeve to loop

    I’ve gained back much of the weight I lost after my VSG and really I’m interested in this procedure, any additional information is truly appreciated.

    Best and worst "compliments"

    Worst: your so thin, you look like you need a burger Even worst: (publicly) I hope you're seeing a Dr. best: you look great, you've lost so much weight, I'm happy for you Even best: you look so wonderful, whatever you're doing I need to as well My son made me feel so special when he texted me a pic of our family from Thanksgiving four yrs ago and complimented how much "work" I've done on improving my health. Made me cry in the car.....now I feel better about paying his massive tuition bill....lol

    Going to MEXICO - Ortiz?

    I had surgery in March of 2013 in MX. I used Alighterme. My dr was Dr. Alejandro Ortiz. He was very good. my recovery at Mi Dr. Is comparable if not better than what I received at Hackensack Hospital in ?NJ. Do your research and trust yourself. Anyone can make claims of anything good or bad. My Dr. In NJ was negligent in taking time to remove my lap band even though I was in obvious pain in the ER where he saw me but bc if was his sabbath had refuse go do my operation until Monday. Trust yourself to make your decision. BTW....if Abraham the driver for Alighterme us still with them you are in excellent hands. He was great and his service was impeccable?
  6. Not many pounds to some but this feels great to me....from a size 18-10 so far. On vacation now and trying to keep up the physical activities (bike riding) but love the progress so far Sent from my iPad using VST
  7. I was sleeved on march 22 at MiDoctor with Dr. alejandro lopez...pls when you are on this forum you should clarify which drs you are using , used or thinking about. The names are similar and people should remember that it is these Drs livelihood you are messing with when making statements (even if they are true and personal) without being specific. With that said, my experience was great. No exaggeration. I've had surgeries in the states and my sleeve surgery was probably the second best next to my csection with my daughter. Clean, professional and informative. I must also mention that I went through Alighterme......haven't Ben on this forum in a while and companies do change but MY experience with them was great...Abraham the driver was the best. Four months lost 44lbs since. Size 18-10....goal weight 148....current weight 181 surgery weight 224. Highest weight 259 ...5'8" Sent from my iPad using VST

    hair loss ; (

    The hair loss is definitely from the lack of protein. My girlfriend was not getting enough protein andit happened to her. I drink protein to go which has 28g of protein in 2oz. I drink it in my water bottle with half bottle of water. I tried protein shakes but nothing agreed with my stomach....I drink 2-3 of these bottles everyday...which is between 56-84 g of protein a day.....it goes done so easily and thank GOD I haven't experienced the hair loss....prayerfully it will be kept at bey.....good luck....BTW....the Protein to go is also reasonably priced at 3.00 per bottle....I get mine whenever there on groupon.....I have enough to last till October....don't laugh....
  9. I didn't start buying right away.....bc the season changed I wore a lot of the stuff from last yr but they definitely fit much looser.....i thought i was at a size 10 and bought an 8 just to encourage myself, when I got home it fit so nicely....was totally shocked????....since then I stop buying....I definitely would do the consignment shops but when I start again, I'm buying my goal size which is a 4/6....I have an event to go in December and I'm renting my dress. I ordered it in a 6 so that's inspiration for me. You should buy one or two things one size smaller than you are right now bc it's inspirational nd you know it will eventually fit. Be careful if you are in a seasonal area like me.
  10. Wanted to be at 175....23.4 from my then weight...currently stalled at 189....I joined late and fel good about what I did loose but more to come....new challenge in 12 weeks (9/20/13 to reach 165...(24) away from that goal... Sent from my iPad using VST
