I love in the Westminster area. I was sleeved in Tijuana on January 10. My surgery went well but because of a doctor directed medication order I ended up with a major clot and dead intestine. Has anyone else had extra complications? I get very down that I can't go to the gym. I can't wear a pair of jeans because I have a wound vac on.
Anyone else in Colorado been through something similar?

Dr. Almanza did my surgery too. I am glad I went that route also. I live in North Denver and would love to do a meet up with Colorado sleeves especially the Tijuana sleever's.
Surgery date Jan 2014, 60 pounds down.

I didn't want to tell anyone either but of course one person told another. I went to Tijuana and I have a lot of people telling me how reckless and stupid I was to do that. I have a friend that tells me home great their boyfriends are because they would spend money at the best places money could buy. Her boyfriend would never let her go to Tijuana let alone have major surgery in a strip mall.
I made a decision for my health and I thought I was pretty brave. I so wish my friends would stop judging me!

Sometimes you forget about one step at a time. I can't imagine a 5 month stay at the hospital, that must have been horrible.
Thank you for taking time out of your day and responding, it means a lot to know I am not alone.

Well in all honesty I don't have a doctor, just lost my healthcare coverage and job. I am following my post- op instructions to the "T" because I am so afraid of any complications.
Maybe I was wrong weighing myself over the last 6 days. After being 140 pounds overweight for the last year i think it made me want to see something good for once.
The scale is hidden for a week at a time, that is the most I can promise.
