Sorry for taking so long. I didn't have any problems with the surgery. I thought it would be really painful but it wasn't. I work in a huge kitchen so I took extra time off. I didn't want to take the chance of opening anything up. My only regret is I didn't tell him soon enough and he didn't have time to do my neck. Now I'm going back for that and get my eyelids done.

Hi all. I live in Red Deer. I had my VGS March 18 2013. I started out at 200lbs the day I had my surgery. I am also 5' tall. I was down to 135-138 lbs by Sept. I stayed at that weight for the next 5 months. I went to Mexico to Dr Almanza for my sleeve. I then went to see a surgeon for the Excess skin removal. His name is Dr Sauceda who is also in Mexico. I had. Lower body lift breast lift with implants, long thigh lift and arm lift. I couldn't believe that in less then. Year I could have my dreams come true. Good luck to each and everyone of you on this in redo le journey.

I agree with Cowgirl Jane. I used the same Dt and couldn't have asked for more. He's brilliant.

March 18th. 200 starting weight. I am at my drs goal. 135lbs. Now I am looking for recommendations for plastic surgery in Mexico. Hope all you are doing good and their journeys are all they hoped for.

I will not war with you either, in fact I am done.

thank God for small favors!!

I had my VSG on the 18th March 13. When I started my journey I was 200lbs and in size 16W. For some if you that may not seem all that big but I am only 5 feet tall. That doesn't leave much room to carry around extra weight. I had high blood pressure, taking 2 alieve a day for joint pain and thought I had to have a bladder repair as I dribbled every time I laughed, coughed, lifted anything heavy. That was a lot as I am a cook and work in an institutional kitchen feeding 1500 plus people a meal. Since my surgery almost 19 weeks ago I have lost 44lbs( my official weigh in is tomorrow) and just bought size 10 pants. I donor take medication for the things above and best if all no more poise pads. This makes me so happy. I am over half way to my goal. I have 31lbs to go. This is a real blessing in disguise.

I started walking right away and the last three weeks or so a couple of us at work have been doing hip hop abs so it must be all coming together.

I went to Mexico and paid $4749. That included everything but airfare. Including hotel, meals, meds, transportation while in TJ and from and back to San Diego. And this surgeon did 13 the day I had mine and 14 the next day. I would do it again in a heart beat. 9 weeks out and 40lbs down.
