that's great news, you will totally love your band and your new journey to weight loss!!! welcome to the loser's bench!!! goodluck and congrats.:smile2:

yep, she is definitely trying to scare you. i went to mexico with Dr. Aceves and i had done all my research before that and i chose them because i felt they were my best choice. just make sure you do your research. goodluck and tell your friend to get her facts straight.

hi, happy to hear you're doing fine....recovery takes longer for some but in the end it's all worth it. you'll definitely love the results. welcome to the loser's bench and hang in there!!!

hi, happy to hear you've lost a lot of weight, but sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. the only advice would be for you to go to the doctor and tell him all you've gone through. goodluck and please keep us posted.

i lift two 5lbs weights and i do several repetitions, and i do pushups as well. I try to do two sets of 10. It's really hard, but after some months you start seeing the difference.

you'll have your normal life back, just better, healthier and looking better with all that weight loss!!! so enjoy your new journey to weight loss....choose healthy foods and welcome to the losers bench!!!!

i like lollipops too!!! great when wanting something to eat and keeps you distracted.

well, the good thing is you made up your mind and actually changed doctors. and remember that everything happens for a reason, so don't feel bad cause you wasted 4 months, it has only given you time to learn new things and find your new doctor!!! wish you the best.

low self esteem, during highschool i had many boyfriends,got married and then got a divorce, found him with another lady. my weight plummeted. i've always loved food, but after the divorce there was no stopping me. until i had my sleeve. and it has been the best decision i've ever taken.

wow, had never stopped to think about that, but your trainer is absolutely right.....i'll be sure to do it on monday as soon as i get to the gym. thanks and thankyou for motivating me to continue with my workouts!!!

i used to feel embarrassed at first, but then i started getting really motivated, plus i love the results and the feeling after a good workout. i love zumba class, it's great you should give it a try!!! goodluck:thumbup:

great news!! good to hear you're doing so well.....welcome to the loser's bench.....goodluck and congrats:thumbup:

hi, yes i did have the same problem....tried it several times and i couldn't get in. :bored:

that really really sucks!!! mmm well my only advice would be to try the bicycles at the gym - like take a spinning class, i know it's not outdoors but you could give it a try. goodluck and please keep us posted.:thumbdown:

keep it up, you can do it!!! It's a bit hard the first few days, but then you get the hang of it. I had to take some Tylenol cause I got headaches as well. Go for a walk whenever you feel you can't handle it, plus if one day you fail, don't worry, it's perfectly normal, just start again the next day. Goodluck and please keep us posted.:thumbdown:

really really nice poem!!! thank you I identify myself with it as well. I think a lot of us will identify with it as well. Thanks again for sharing it with us.:thumbdown:

that's just great!! you'll definitely love your new journey to weight loss......welcome to the loser's bench!!!:smile:

my husband was very supportive and he's been loving every single day i lose weight.....we have become more intimate as well. so maybe you could convince him and try it with that strategy LOL.:smile:

why don't you try Dr. Aceves, i highly recommend him. He is very reliable and professional. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff. excellent experience, price and service.:smile:

hi, it´s thursday now, so i think you´re already sleeved. how are you doing?:smile:

don´t be so hard on yourself, you´ve been doing great so hang in there, today you slipped up, tomorrow you start again.....good thing there´s always tomorrow to start all over again.:smile:

yes i definitely crave food, specially on those days of the month!!! it´s something we will always live with, but getting sleeved made it much more difficult for me to pigout. so i am very happy for that. :smile:

i think if you can buy new clothes, go ahead. new look - new wardrobe. besides you'll feel better!!! trust me.:scared2:

i sometimes cry, but not because i am sad, but because i am extremely happy for my achievements!!! so maybe that's the reason why you are crying and feeling sentimental.....you've started losing weight and you're starting to look different and that's probably the reason. Whichever way, i wish you the best and keep up the good work. :scared2:

hi, i definitely recommend going to Mexicali, with Dr. Aceves. He and his staff are very reliable and professional. The service at the hospital is great. I haven't had any complications and my trip to Mexico was all well worth. If you need more information, please feel free to contact Nina, she's the patient coordinator and she'll answer all your possible questions. Goodluck and if you need any more help please feel free to ask as well. :thumbup:
