Almost halfway to goal!!! Sleeved November 16, 2013.

I went to Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Jose Casteneda. You can book him through Medical Tourism or contact him directly which will save you about $1,000. Good Luck MadB

I got my surgery done in Mexico and with my travel and surgery it cost me $7,500. Surgery went well and the hospital was very clean and staff were great. Stayed 2 nights in hospital, staff picked me up from airport transported me to and from the resort to hospital and then for the drain removal. No issues and I am down 39 pounds as of this morning at 9.5 weeks out.

Shop at VIctorias Secret!!!

Hottie! Love the ink! THat is an amazing transformation! Good for you!

37 pounds at week 8 no pre-op diet. 43 pounds to go to my goal of 140! We CAN and WILL get there sooner or later but wi WILL get there!!! Keep it going Girl!

It has happened to me twice...not sure if it was a touch of the stomach flu...im at 8 weeks post op...first time after I got rid of things I felt better just tired and the last time I was done the entire next day. Slept it off...

Ok I know a lot of people have mentioned that they have issues with constipation but I am the opposite! Sometimes pure liquid!!! Is this "normal" with the sleeve? I'm 8 weeks out and am on normal foods and have my protien and Water intake where it should be. Just not sure if I should be following up or enjoy the benefits of it. 37 pounds down! before surgery it wasn't unusual to go a couple of days between BM's but I go almost everyday now and usually more than once! Could it have anything to do with my stomach acid? Maybe my prescription needs to be increased... Anyone else having this issue?

How is ur weightloss going? Im down 33 pounds in 7 weeks

Do it! You will regret it more if you don't do it. Your husband will be thrilled at how happy you will be in the following weeks and the results that you will see. I wish I had done it 10 years ago.

I had this happen just once about 1-2 week post op and yes it was in the shower. Thought I was going to pass out or puke. Never did find out why but suspect it had to do with the blood pressure. If it is continuing definately get it checked out. It never re occured for me thank goodness. Scared the shit out of me. Everything else has been great! Down 33 pounds in 7 weeks!

My restriction changes from day to day. Sometimes I can eat and there is no bad feelings and then other times 5 bites and I'm done...eating slowly allows more but I don't have time to eat for 25 minutes just to get in 3 oz of chicken so I eat what I can and then done...i'm not hungry anyway. :S

6 weeks out and 27 pounds down surgery weight 220 now 193

I had very little til the two week mark. I retained all kinds of fluid from the surgery. I am down 26 pounds in less than 6 weeks so hang in there! It will happen!

I had costco poutine twice in the last week before I went for surgery! LOL Gained five pounds from all the gotta have that before surgery then had to lose it before the surgery! Surgery weight was 220 and 4 weeks later 199. I can't even imagine eating Poutine now!

4 weeks post op yesterday. Im down 21 pounds. the last two weeks the weightloss has slowed down but I have accomplished my goal that I set for myself to hit before xmas to be under 200 pounds. Weigh in yesterday 199.6 pounds! I will never see that 200 number EVER again!!! Now to set my new goal, 175 by the end of March.

Call in sick...LOL

I have jeans in the closet but refuse to check for another two weeks since I was significantly smaller when the fit. THat is the one piece of clothing that I can't wait to buy! A nice pair of size 10...maybe even an 8 Silver brand name jeans with all the bling on the bum! LOL! Enjoy your much smaller cords! Great job!

sleeved Nov 17 and with no pre op diet I am down 15 pounds in 13 days. getting in 64 oz of fluid 60g protien no problem. Had a dizzy near passout spell this morning in the shower...not sure what that was about. Feel decent now. Start soft foods Monday!

Has anyone else experienced dizziness and blurred vision and feelings of faint? I was in the shower this morning and had enough time to grab a towel and make it to the bed. It subsided after about 10 minutes... I am drinking about 2 liters of Fluid a day and getting in 60g of protien and am on a chewable Multivitamin once a day and Calcium chews... I have emailed my doctor in Mexico. Has anyone else experienced this? I am on day 13 post op and down 15 pounds...just too much too soon?

Have you really only lost 18 pounds in 3.5 months or have you just not updated your ticker?

I got them at Shoppers in Saskatoon.Try to stop at a shoppers in Calgary before you fly out. I had them and glad I did. Good Luck.

Yes I do the same thing. Thinking about taking the scale to my boyfriends and leaving it there and just weighing in one or twice a week when I am over at his place...not sure yet what I will do...It definately is a mind over matter game. Looks like you are doing well with the 31 pound loss. Great job!

My boyfriend got the lapband after the dr tried to talk him into the sleeve. It didn't work and didnt heal. He got the sleeve Nov 2012 and has lost 130 pounds. He just got plastics done last week in Mexico while I got sleeved...wasn't much of a holiday...lol. go for the sleeve!
