I had mine two years ago & have maintained a 75 pound loss, I love it. First time I have ever stayed at Goal. I will be here for you[emoji39]

Dr Ortiz is one of top 15 Bariatric surgeons & he did mine two years ago. I had no complications what ever lost 85 pounds & feel great. I know six others who have done well with him also. I paid $6500 then & it was well worth it. Included 4 nights st Marriott Hotel that had fantastic accomodations

I was a nurse for 35 years mainly Labor & Delivery & single unit L & D, and mother baby. 10 years a Hospital Supervisor . Retired in 2006. Was sleeved 16 months ago & list 85 pounds. Have been at goal since October, feeling great

Are you an RN re your title? I am a retired RN & had my gastric sleeve 2/26/14 in Tijuana with Dr. Ariel Ortiz &. Have never regretted it for one minute. I have lost 80 pounds & I feel great. I did not have any complications & have no trouble eating anything now, just not the quantity. I did not have any pain or nausea & have never thrown up. So congratulations on your decision & good luck on your journey

I am 74 & I was sleeved 2/26/2014 when I was still 73 & I feel great, have lost 65 pounds so far. I am just 6.8 pounds from Goal.

Sleeve date 2/26/2014

I go to Weight Watchers every week as I am a Lifetime member tho not at goal but it is much easier to follow & eat the correct portions. I have lost 65.8 pounds since VSG in February & am 6.8 pounds from goal! I love my sleeve.

Hi all, I thought I found this group once before but then could not find it again until just now. I am 74 and a retired nurse after working for 35 years. I did mostly Labor and Delivery in 3 different hospitals, then finished up doing Hospital Nursing Supervisor. I had my gastric sleeve surgery in February when I was till 73 and all the people I met were a lot younger. I feel great and have lost 61 from my highest weight. I had a very good surgical experience without any complications. I am still experimenting with what I can eat as sometimes I have diarrhea right after eating, salads seem to be one thing that causes it. It still amazes me that I can leave food on my plate or throw it away as I was raised to clean my plate which of course caused a lot of my being overweight most of my life. I really had a problem with portion control sweets and bread. Now sweets do not taste good to me at all. Happy to have found this group again.

Wow that is amazing how much you have lost and now cannot stop! I had my sleeve on 2/26 this year and am down 61 pounds but every day I am afraid I will not keep losing, it is down to about 1-2 pounds a week. I hope you are not having any problems or becoming anorexic. What does your Dr. say? Good luck

Dr Ortiz is the best & he has done hundreds if VSG's. He is rated one if top Bariatric surgeons in the US & had been on Dr. Oz, The Doctirs, Night line, Dateline & many other programs. I was sleeved in February & had excellent card & no complications or Pain nausea or vomiting & feel great Good luck!

I had no trouble with clam chowder or eggs at that stage. Good luck

You look great! I never got a picture either with Dr. Ortiz Good luck to your hubby
