Both my mom and sister have each had WLS. Neither of them made the necessary changes and both lost a very minimal amount of weight. They were the only two people I told besides my husband. They were unsupportive. Both said it was a waste of my time and money and that I should just do it on my own. I figured that if 2 people who have been through it wouldn't support me, I didn't need to waste my time convincing anyone else. I live my life for me, my husband, and our kids: as long as we are in agreement, no other opinions matter. After surgery, when my weight loss is showing, I will proudly tell people.,

Which place / doctor in TJ did you choose?

I'm going to ASM in MX. I weighed out my options here in So. California. My insurance requires 6 months nutrition counseling, and 1 co-morbidity. 3 months into it, I had 2 sleep studies done and felt like my sleep apnea diagnosis was questionable so I opted to not take my chances of waiting any longer only to get denied.

Me too! Dec 8th can't get here soon enough!! Where are you having yours done?

Booked at ASM in Tijuana for December 8!

that sounds like a workout!!

Hey there October Sleevers! If all goes as planned I will be sleeved at the end of this month. I'm wondering how long did you take off of work? I have a comfy office job that ties me to my desk for the most part. My plan is to have my sleeve done on a Thursday and return to work on Monday. Does this seem realistic to those who have been through it?

I'm half way through my 6 months required nutrition. Will have VSG in February. 39yrs old. 5'7 HW 227 CW 224. My BMI is on the "lower" side so I've been advised not to lose much more.... first time in my life i've ever been NOT to lose weight!
