    Anyone in their younger 20s?

    I'm 22 and I got sleeved on 1.15.2016 it's been kind of tough so far but I'm still very early in my journey and adjusting emotionally. Going into this a lot of people said that I was too young but I am happy I went through with it. They say these are the best years of life and I don't want to waste them. I also don't want to keep waiting while things get worse and worse. I wish you luck! And it's great that you'll have your family to lean on since they have experience with this.

    VSG In Tijuana, Mexico ANYONE?!

    Just got back from having surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Carlos Altamirano on 1/15/16. It went wonderful and the staff was friendly and attentive. Tijuana was a lively city and I had a safe and wonderful trip. No regrets so far.
  3. Wow 80 pounds is a great accomplishment!! Don't sell yourself short. I'm only 6 days post op so far but I can only hope to have your kind of success after 6 months.

    Anyone getting sleeved in January?

    I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! Currently recovering in the hospital room. Right out of surgery I was in so much pain. Nauseous, tired, dry month, incisions felt awful. I cried and thought about why I put myself through this but in a few hours I was up and walking and I've been walking lots ever since. I feel wonderful and I can't wait to start seeing and feeling my results
  5. Aaaaand 12 days into my pre-op diet I have finally gotten the hang of this. Better late than never?

    Feeling cold feet

    The "losers bench" is a good thing!! It means you're officially on the other side of surgery and are going to start losing weight with the rest of the sleeved family. Surgery for me is 19 days away but it is all going by so quickly. My sister asked me the other day how I am so calm. I told her it's probably because it just hasn't hit me yet haha. I'm getting more nervous by the day but I'm trying to focus on other people's positive success stories. That helps a lot.
  10. 8 days left until the preop diet begins.

  11. 17 days till i start the pre-op diet! Stocked up on vitamins and protein powder. This is becoming very real.

      Mmmm PF Chang. Yup I too will be having some food funerals before my preop diet starts. Chinese food will be a big one, as well as Chipotle and a few traditional Caribbean dishes.
