Your nut should have given you a range to target. Like everyone else said Protein is very important. I have increased my protein and Water and the weight is falling off and I am healthy that is really what you want so please dont worry about gaining. Eat protein, drink water and exercise this is the new life style that you have now. If we are honest fear is what got us all in this situation in the first place so why hold on to it. New day, new life new YOU good luck

Wow I never thought I would get here! 6 months out and at 198???? starting weight was 290. Best decision I ever made! Only draw back is I am starting to lose my hair. My doc said it will last about 6 weeks...I'll take it! BTW I love being called skinny!

I started out at just over 300# and I had lost 50 before people really even noticed the change. Do you think he is uncomfortable with the physical changes already or something else?
I guess everyone knows this, but losing huge amounts of weight is a game changer in many relationships. In my case, the ending of my relationship actually wasn't about the weight loss. I thought the problems in our relationship were (at least partially) caused by my being so obese but turns out they had nothing to do with it so losing weight did not "fix" a dang thing. And then, i just couldn't take it anymore.

Can't believe that.I would talk the cheif of staff of that hospital.
I would even call fox 4 news that horrible the way they treated you..and your mom..some body need to be held responable that... sorry that happens to you..some one had recommended that set surgeon to me..i started to change so glad i didn't. ...

Jesseybear,please be careful .i was told not to lift over 7 pound which is a gallon of milk..don't put strain on your sleeve..cause you can cause yr self a leak moving to fast...if you haven't. Read the complications of a leak it is horrible. ..i knw u young and feel great..but knw you just had major surgery.Good luck on your sleeve......enjoy your new life.

Hi ,
I think we all have and will have that fear yes! But just stay focused and keep in the back of your mind who and what made you do the surgery In the first place . I am a Sleever I had my surgery August 24,2012 and I was 264 now I'm 150 I am more than happy with my results but have had those moments and still have issues with omg pleas don't let me gain any weight but the truth is you'll loose weight tremendously but you also gain a pound or two like limbo but you will be successful trust me . Also keep in mind that you don't usually reach you Plato until your at least a year out and even than you'll never be the size you were! Good luck

Show them the credentials of the surgeon you have chosen and other information you have. Arm yourself with knowledge, it is a powerful thing. Also, remind them that Mexico is just like the U.S., there are good areas and bad areas. Assure them you will be traveling to a safe area, and most likely accompanied by your surgeons staff at all times. Medical Tourism in Mexico would not be so successful and popular if the surgeons operated out of dangerous areas, it is vital their patients are safe to help protect their reputations.
