Thank you very much for your support, I am new to all this posting stuff so I didnt know what to think about that, But i appreciate all of the support from you all, if anyone has any questions i will be more than happy to answer any and all of them ... the sleeve so far is awesome!

I just posted where i was told to post so if nobody is interested becuase this is a LAPBAND posting area "ONLY"? then i will post elsewhere? Maybe even my post will spark curiosity and have people that dont know about these surguries be able to look and see what its about, Knowledge never hurts anyone!

well i guess excuse me??? I was told that i can post here and obesity help. Do you have a problem with me posting here? Evidently this post sparked some kind of interest or you wouldnt have looked.

Where did you guys get the BMI ticker thing?

Im very sorry they did not give you that option, I was a cash pay customer and went to Tijuana Mexico.

I choose the Sleeve for a few reasons, 1) I dont have to worry about the band eroding, slipping, port failing or having a foreign object in my body or to get fills done all the time and if done in mexico for 6500 or whatever than fills run around 400 each in the states at like fill centers usa by the time your fills are done you have exceeded the 9500 for the sleeve. 2) more success on the weight loss quicker and comparable to the gastric bypass but less invasive, lets face it if the lapband did not work for you and you didnt loose the weight than your kinda stuck out the money you have already spent, now your going to spend 9500 more for something else? I needed a full proof plan to loose weight. I also heard from several people that it does not really make you full that it feels like the food is stuck with the LAPBAND. The gastric sleeve still works like a stomach is suppose to work but will not have to take vitamins or anything like that becuase its just a restrictive surgury. I can go on and on LOL, If you have any more specific questions please ask I will do my best to answer them :sad:

Just letting everyone know that i am 7 days post-op and feel great, I do not feel hungary and i am just on liquids for 3 weeks its awesome not to feel hungary. oh and I have lost 20 lbs since surgury freaking amazing. If anyone has any questions hit me up and i will answer them.

Well I am trying to decide A) if I want the Lap Band or :biggrin: the gastric Sleeve and which doctor to choose. After research I have found Dr. Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez located in Tijuana Mexico. I have talked to her personally on the phone and she sounds very knowledgeable and so fourth its just the fact of getting a surgury performed in mexico. Can people here that have had it done by Dr. Pompa please talk to me about the whole experience.??????? Thank you, James
