I am 11 months Post-surgery and I am doing great. just hit 100 lbs lost and 5 lbs past my goal. feel great. the Hair loss has been bad for me also. I get the same comments, "STOP LOSING" it is a bit irritating but oh well they mean well. just another way to say I look good. so this point in not really trying to lose weight but I'm still losing about 4 lbs a month.

I went to Dr Quinones at Pompeii Surgical. He did a great job and the staff was great. The surgery Center was kinda small though. The rooms are not very private and you can hear everything going on. No private bathroom in the rooms which was the biggest surprise for me. If you want the place to look like a surgical center in US then this isn't the place for you. It's was very clean though and I can't say enough about the great staff.

I am now 6 months Post-surgery and I am doing great. I have never regretted it once. I am currently down 80 lbs. better than I thought I would do. Never a complication with Dr Q

People just care, they don't realize it's intrusive. I guess that's one thing we have to deal with, that our weight-loss journey/ struggle can't exactly be hidden like other struggles people have. I would let it just roll right off. I think it's always better to see the good in people.

I had a good experience. The staff is great. I wish the rooms had private bathrooms though. It's no like a American hospital though so don't be expecting that. Dr Quinones did a great job though and thats what really matters.

Please do not go to someone who is inexperienced or go to the cheepest. I had my surgery with Dr Quinones on January 25th. There are also good doctors through this site like Dr. Illan. There is already a measure of risk going to Mexico, make sure you find a good doctor.

I am 3 weeks post op. I didn't do well with my first egg either. I'm in a really frustrating phase right now. My brain wants semblance of real food but my sleeve isn't ready. ahhhh

Congratulations, I was sleeved 10 days ago and am starting at almost the same weight as you. I hope I can have the same success. There's still part of me that thinks it won't work... I am following all the rules so I know I just have to think positive.

I had surgery the 25th. Feel lucky that I haven't had too many side effects. The gas the first 2 days were the worst. Now the little bubbles that come up every time I drink. Feeling good and excited to be on this journey.

This is a great forum. I received my surgery on the Jan. 25 in Mexico. Going that route, I of course don't have the post-op support I would have here in the US. I have done a lot of research though and still feel great about my decision of both surgery and Mexico. It's good to be connected to others gonna through the same things I am. Is been hard work meeting wager and Protein goals. I got to 54oz Water and 60g Protein yesterday and I feel proud of that. I Hope to do a little more today. I'm so happy and feel excited about this process. How many days post-op is everybody starting a walking regime.

I am 8 days post op and my hunger just returned yesterday. It scared me because I don't want to overeat. I'm on full liquid diet till next week. I'm allowed to have yogurt and is been hard to only eat 2Tb cuz I want more. It's reassuring to know that I'm not going to want to overeat.

I am also about a month away from surgery. I prepaid and got my plane tickets early. I didn't want to get cold feet. I am excited but also very nervous about the work I know I need to do concerning my relationship with food. I think it will be a hard transition but i am determined to be successful. I want to be healthy and have less pain.

This is good information. I am at the beginning of my research and this is a big concern for me. I feel like you are looked down on if you choose surgery. Thanks for the posts
