I had what is called the “safe sleeve “ only one place is pantened to do it tht is Bloosum Barriactics in Henderson Nevada ( hence the spelling errors ) it was pretty good he does remove the stomach but leaves many of the vessels in place making it safer and faster to heal highly recommend I paid 9,995 dollars and hotel was furnished suite along with black car and limo service provided the whole time

February 2019 weight loss buds
But look at the bright side ,”we all going to be hawt “ I had my surgery Friday ,and sat was rough ,but today is a new day and I’m going to get out and walk a bit ,hopefully,we leave Las Vegas Tuesday ans hope to be in my home town by Tuesday night,the doc repaired a hital hernia and tht has been my biggest thing so far aside from only siping water instead of chugging it I’m not hungry yet but I stay so dang thirsty ,I’m forty as well ,ans did this for my heart and I hope to come off my bp meds ,I’m glad it’s challenging me to make better food choices as I lived off McDonald’s during the day and pizza rolls at night smfh I thk when we get down to our ideal weight we’ll be able to add things in like wings ,now the pizza I don’t know but they is some awesom Parmesan crust recipes out there ,and I hope I don’t develop blood clots I had a friend who had his gall bladder taken out then died a week later only wished I could had got to him sooner losing the weight could had saved his life ,maybe try finding friends at the gym or something people with the same goals as you and take it one day at time ,32 pounds is great keep at it ,when u get there u will be able to say “wow I did it “?

March 17-27 I will be at bloosum Bariacteics In Las Vegas , my surgery will be the 21 or something they do a five day fast track with surgery the third day there we r arriving early to see Las Vegas but it almost half the price to have it there which worked out great since I turned into a self pay

February 2019 Sleevers?

-
February 2019 Sleevers?
Well , I went through six months of weigh in nutrition classes ,EDGs ,cardiac clearances,psych evaluations ,blood work ,and now they cancelled the insurance two weeks ,before I was due to have the surgery . So I won’t be getting to get sleeved now ,I thk it’s all a scam here in Ky they rack up tht Insurance then boom right before surgery date they “cancel “ your insurance .

Who has had the sleeve? How did you do? Pros and cons? Would you do it again?
Tht is so sad ,was his in a inoperable place ,as well ,they told me “losing the excess weight is what would help”but I appreciate the prayers ,I was really scared at first ,but I have since got over tht fear, I thk ,god just comes and collects some of us early, ,I never did find out what caused mine ,but I contribute it the body weight ,when I met with my nutritionist I asked “where she been all my life lol ,cause tht is something we don’t understand when we are young and invincible tht hey the Big Mac is really killing us ,I wish I would had eaten better younger ,and earlier but hey it’s never too late right ,my heart bleeds for you ,but know tht life here is short and temporary ,and it goes bye so fast ,your son will be waiting for you at the gates ,where the streets are paved with gold and there is so pain ,tears ,or sadness , I wouldn’t know what it would be like to bury a child as I can’t imagine ,but he sure must been special ,cause I believe ,god takes the special ones early ,as Jesus was in his thirties as well .
