Hello All!
what motivates me is going shopping and trying on clothes that are 3 sizes smaller than what i used to wear. This is when I say that all the exercise and hard work has come been all worth. Another thing that motivates me is my husband, he's always telling me how nice i look, so that also makes me want to keep on doing exercise. Whichever way, I wish you the best and I hope your personal motivation as well. :ohmy:

New, seeking guidance and support
well, i decided to have the sleeve, because the recovery is much faster, i have lost 80lbs and i am really happy with my sleeve. my doctor was Dr. Aceves in Mexicali and i definitely recommend him and the surgery as well.
