Part of the definition of a tool is, used to carry out a particular function. Getting a sleeve was my tool to reach the function of a healthy weight. When my husband uses a tool, the hammer, to put a nail in the wall, the tool alone didn't do it, my husbands strong muscled arm put power to it but it helped to make it easier to achieve the nail in the wall. My sleeve in my opinion is a tool, if you don't like the wording DON'T SAY IT!! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Reflux mimics hunger, once I went on meds, I'm never hungry! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I started vomiting at 6 weeks, I found out I have a stricture. If slowing down and eating less doesn't help it could be a problem. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

If I take 1 bite to many, I lose it all. Over eating is very hard....at least for me! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I had my revision almost 3 months ago, it was 5,600. I also has my band done in Mexico. You do not sacrifice care or skill for price. I will be heading back for plastics. Don't let some people give you advice they know nothing about!!! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I only waited 14 days to get a cheaper flight. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

The thing about Mexico is, you don't sacrifice care for price. I've had better care in MX (lap-band & revision) then I did with surgeries I've had in the states. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I was shocked too, so however long you're in a stall be patient and still to the plan. I'm down almost 11 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks. It will come off if you are diligent. And cursing at your scale doesn't make it move, I tried it Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I had my band in for just under 2 years and had it removed and time if sleeve. Best thing ever, good luck to you! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I am 10 weeks post op revision and I have no sign of the port. I was sore in that spot longer then the other. Good luck! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Gallbladder issues are painful, I'm sorry. They can do both surgeries at the same time. Good luck, I don't think it will prevent you from being sleeved! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

What have you had done, what did it cost and did it cover recovery stay? Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I only felt hunger till I got my reflux under control, since I got the prescription I'm rarely hungry. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Be patient with the stall, I stalled for 7 weeks at 2 weeks post op. I was beyond frustrated but kept to the plan and the scale started moving this week. Keep strong! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

What did you have and how much was it? Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I think it might for some, I've been having gallbladder like attacks (mine was removed 2 years ago) I think I have a clogged bile duct and can only eat cream of wheat, oatmeal and Protein shakes and I've lost 3 lbs this week. I'm hoping this will continue, the losing not the pain Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I had a revision and had no complications. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Mine looked like that for weeks, I just kept it clean and it finally closed and is gone now. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I'm the exact same way, I add a little g2 to my Water and it goes down easier. I'm hoping it will get better because I love plain water. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I've been in a 6 week stall (8 weeks post op), curious as to the longest stall anyone has had. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX
