Same thing happened to me. I tell my surgeon how I'm sure the numbers are wrong. He tells me the sleeve can help you lose 40-60 percent of excess body weight. I think I'm not far off from others and I have lost almost 100 percent of my excess body weight. He tells me I am the exception and not the norm and that most people only lose max of 65 percent of excess body weight.

All of what you say is so true. I have to catch myself because if I gain even a few ounces I feel heavy all over again. And then I have my fitness pal to look back at the patterns of weight loss and how far I've come. This month will be my one year anniversary and I am less than 5 pounds from my goal weight.

You look fantastic!! Keep up the good work. Be proud of yourself-

Today's weight 146.8

I think a 13 year old can be adult enough to understand exactly what would happen if she eats something she's not supposed to. Just like the adults that know exactly what will happen. I was sleeved in NY. My bmi was high enough for insurance to pay. My partner was under the bmi requirement so we looked into the Mexico option. Dr. Fernando Garcia was fantastic. We didn't have one single complaint. The hotel, the hospital, the transportation- all were great. We are both nurses and didn't go into any of it lightly. Even my surgeon supported her and said there is absolutely nothing wrong with Medical Tourism. In all the research we did we never read a bad comment about Dr. Garcia. His website is Tijuana Bariatrics. Good luck with your decision.

I should have known it was a fluke!! Weight today went up to 147.2. I thought it was strange that I lost 5 pounds in one week. Please change my goal back to 145.

I can't believe it!! I made goal already for the challenge. My weight today was 145.4. I guess my new goal is 142. I really pushed my fluids and cut back in carbs. Had no idea I could lose almost 5 pounds that quick 11 months out and I have been in a stall for months. Thanks for the challenge.

I don't know your financial situation but I did a lot of research and had a lot of time to look for deals. For just a few hundred extra I was able to book first class coming back from San Diego. I had my sleeve done in NY in march so I knew my partner would be more comfortable to be able to lie back and have more room to relax. It was so worth it. The direct flight was 6 hours long and she slept most of the way. not necessary on the way there as we were both feeling fine but I think it made a big difference for her coming home.

Yes we are going to Mi doctor. Flying in on the 19th. My partners surgery is on the 20th with Dr. Garcia. We are staying in hospital 2 days then back to Marriott for 2 days and then we decided to stay outside of San Diego for another 3 nights before flying back to NY. This will give her a few more days recovery before she has to sit on a plane for 5-6 hours. When are you and your sister having surgery? I had my sleeve done in March 2013 in NYC. Very happy. Would do it all again even though its a really big adjustment.

Ok now I'm really starting to freak out! Nasty sore throat And my temp is 100.2!

That's awesome!!! My dos was 3/26 and so far down 78 from my hw. Down 62 from dos

Wow. You look great!!!
