Sweet carol. Wow that is fantastic. Why do you wish we drank shakes. What did you do to loose that so fast. Do you have loose skin?

What kind of protein shakes may I ask. This worries me most of all. I feel like if I could be disciplined enough to do protein shakes I would not need surgury. How long do you do them For?

Chardgrl, can you not drunk wine if you get the sleeve?

I have sen several posts that mention shakes and loosing weight prior to surgury. I am looking into doing mind in Mecixo. Do you know what they require?

Kulita. No flying. I drive about 3 1/2 hours for work however I was planning on doing the surgury in Mexico and would be flying to and from. I hope that does not cause complications. I see many people in here who do it. Thank you

Thank you both. I live in Tampa but drive to Jacksonville for work and drive thru Gainesville. I am going to get on the phone tomorrow and try to narrow down a doctor. 33 days may be very doable. I just have to figure out work oh and get my passport. Mine was lost. I remember going through a rush service last time. Let's keep in touch. What made you decide on Dr. Lopez?

Thank you so much for responding. It sounds like it is not all about pain energegy levels due to drastic change in diet?

I know all people are different but I wanted to have an idea of when I could return to work after having the sleeve surgery. I am 44. 5'6 289 lbs but actually very healthy otherwise. I travel for work and am wondering what my realistic expectations could be. Thanks

Made up my mind to get the sleeve. Very excited. I am self-pay and can only afford Mexico. Was thinking about Dr.Lopez. The price was good. Anyone go to him? Any hidden Costs? How many days in hospital? Amount of time from when you turn in paper work to when you have surgery? Thanks for help. Ready to get this done

Getlownurse, where in Florida? Are you going to Dr.Lopez? How long does it take from when fill out paperwork to when you have a date set for surgery?

Thank you for suggestion about posting in Mexico

Hello. I am to new to this. Read through tons of posts. So helpful. I am self-pay and Mecico is my only option. Dr. Lopez at a light me seems affordable and reputable. Any advise on him or his hospital? Are there hidden costs? How many nights do you spend in hospital? What pre-op diet does he require. Thank you in advance for your help!!!
