Nice! So is the medicine after surgery included in the basic package? On the website when I looked it was listed only under the premium package.

Hello everyone just wanted to share my weight loss story with everyone. I was 345 pounds and my liver was not in good shape. I was so sick of being over weight my body was producing a large amount of insulin and the drs. Couldn't get it under control so it's caused me to gain 100 pounds in 1 year. I started checking into weight loss surgery but never thought I'd have the chance to have it done. I was thankful for my insurance approving my weight loss surgery. I have a 6 month process I had to do before I could have my surgery. I went from 345 to 236 in those 6 months. After surgery was not as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong those first 3 weeks I thought to myself many times "what the heck did I do to myself" but so thankful for the surgery. I am now 9 months out from being sleeved and I am down to 221 pounds in those 9 months. I have lost 124 pounds since I started all this.it was work every pound. I would have surgery again in a heart beat. It saved myself. It made me feel my own age again ( 24 years old). The weight loss surgery saved me in many ways. My weight loss has slowed down some. Yes I had time where I got off track and ate bad and didn't work out. But I pushed myself to get back on track. My goal weight is 180 and I'm determined to meet that goal. Hope my story helps anyone who don't think the surgery it worth it..because it is!!!

Wow! that's AMAZING! Keep up the good work.

Ok! I'll have to see if I can swing it that soon. How do you pay them? Can you pay before you go or are you supposed to go with cash in hand?

LTVSG has an amazing doctor I am just not comfortable with the coordinator and hearing that he may be doing some shady things worried me so I decided not to go with them even though Dr. M is amazing.

I went with the basic package. After comparing the two the difference that I saw was a nutrition consult, a psychology consult, and spirometry... I didn't feel I needed those things. I can get set up with both a psychologist and nutritionist here so I went with the basic package. Anette the coordinator is really great and will talk to you about which package is best if you need. I found a girl on instagram that just recently went through ASlimmerme and she is beyond happy with her experience so I am even more comfortable with my choice and can't wait.

How is your experience so far? Are you pre or post op?. if you're pre op I would love to have a vsg partner.

I was originally going with LTVSG... after watching this video I decided to look into ASlimmerme. Although my experience with LTVSG wasn't bad (communication seemed to be slow but I don't think it was anybody's fault) I was very happy after my conversation with staff at ASlimmerme and decided to go with them instead. I am scheduled for May so I can't say how they are yet but I am super excited and relaxed and ready to go. I know Dr. Maytorena would have been a good choice also and don't doubt his abilities I just think the communication I have had with the coordinator and finance department at ASlimmerme has eased my mind more and made me comfortable versus the communication I had with the coordinator at LTVSG.

Hi I was also going to go with Longtermvsg until I got a reciept for a deposit I didn't pay and a surgery date. I went along with it and even changed my surgery date and they never were "we made a mistake you did not pay a deposit." So now I'm looking into aslimmer me as well. which package are you going to get? I want to go cheaper but as they say cheaper is not always best.
