    My Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Picture's

    Thank you ladies
  4. 6fT 2inches tall weight is 260 pound's. Was 270 pound's but I lost 10 pounds in two weeks by watching how much I eat by fixing my food in a small small bowl enough for only two scoops of rice. To be continued. .... Post SURGERY :)
  5. @@RDYNEWME Do I know what your saying.... Yes! My husband is so jealous its insane! I feel like while I'm big he is happy with me being this way because he knows no other real/good man would want me. If I try to do my hair he'll say who your trying to impress? If I go on a diet he'll say who I'm trying to lose weight for? I work nights so every day he asks me if im cheating on him. I feel like he wants me to stay this way so no one else would notice me. Like he doesn't care how I feel or look as long as I'm here with him and working and paying all of these damn bills! I have major work to do on my mouth as well and I seriously believe that if he had the money to pay for the implants he wouldn't do it to help me. We've been together for almost 15 years now. I'm planning on getting the gastric sleeve surgery done in Tijuana Mexico and now everyday he comes home telling me stories from other people he knows who got the gastric sleeve surgery done to try and scare me. I refuse to let my husband dictate my life and future. If we do split after the surgery, then its for the best because I want to be with someone who wants me to feel good and look good. I'm only 32
  6. Does Dr Elias Ortiz sew sutures over the staples on the stomach area after cutting the portion off. To keep it from future leakage?
  7. This is going to be the very last winter I'll spend being fat! Thats it! I'm taking my life back! I'm getting my sexy body back! If I could do the gastric sleeve surgery tomorrow I would but look out March 2015! I'm coming! I can't wait to wear long sexy maxie dresses again I'm going to take trips and LIVE! How do you feel?

  10. @@TheNewSusie Hi was taking vitamins and protein easy for you? Were you able to keep your hair from falling? I'm so scared about all of my hair falling out. I won't look pretty bald. For real!
  11. Thank you @samw. I am checking out the website now and will request more information on the gastric sleeve surgery. Great price.
  12. Hello everyone my questions are...... Who was your gastric sleeve surgeon and how much stomach did he removed? I ask because i fear having too much of my stomach removed and won't be able to hold down enough food or fluids including Protein to keep my weight leveled and me from losing alot of hair. Is it hard to keep your weight at a curtain level once you are at your idea weight? Do you have to take multi Vitamins daily and how often. Thank you everyone
  13. Is anyone hesitant about flying due to the Ebola outbreak going on right now? I know there are some scheduled to travel to Dallas Texas for their surgery. Please use precautions and be safe everyone
  14. Ingrid007 I've heard nothing but great things about Dr Elias Ortiz too. I'm still in the researching stages though. I plan on getting the gastric sleeve surgery in February 2015.
  15. I believe they could have saved that doctor who went to that hospital in Dallas sick. I believe they could have done more to help him fight it. He was a doctor. The others who were exposed are doing well. There is no reason for them to let him die. Let alone have many others exposed to the disease. They sent him home the first time he went there. They let him die the second time he went back. Its just my opinion. NO SHADE!
  16. You all have a valid point. The news has been making it sound worser then it really is. But I must admit it does scare me a little. Mainly because I work in the medical field everyday and come in contact with alot of people on a daily basis but I love working in the medical field. I love helping other's. @@docbree you are very bold to still go forward with getting it done there after all those people were exposed. Be very careful.

    Wow! You look great! I can't wait until my time to show off some slimmer pictures of myself
  18. I'm 6ft 2in tall and currently weight 260 pounds so he says I can loss it all by myself and I know that but it's difficult to keep it off. It goes up and down and back up again. Like a yoyo.
  19. Are there any Louisiana sleever's planning on going to Mexico to have their surgery done within the next five to six months? I ask because I don't want to travel alone. Thanks
  20. @@amigues yes I am sure Dr Borland is a great surgeon. I'm not going to judge his expertise in the gastric sleeve surgery over one (Rushed) phone call with his receptionist. I love the fact that you only stay three days in a hotel then go home. He is only 1:15 minutes away from my town. Only thing is I won't have anyone trusting enough to stay with me at th he hotel because my husband is not agreeing with my decision to have the gastric sleeve surgery done at all. But I'm still gonna get it done.
  21. Yes I have read great reviews about the two Doctors you've named too. Its so difficult for me to choose. There are so many great doctors.
  22. @Angel7200 yes I've read about them too. All positive reviews excellent doctors and facilities
