congrats.....let the journey begin

i just paid 5000 for the sleeve in mexico

so far so good....i worry if i lose to much it might go all weird but its all good for now

youll be perfectly fine at 5 weeks out ....im 20 days out and i would have no problems walkin anywhere.

which place in mexico is doin ur surgery?

just got to the mushie stage today ....i had a 1/3 of a can of chili ...put it in my magic bullet then heated it with shredded cheese...my god was that the best thing ever lol....so glad to be on the mushies from the liquids lol

my sleep wasnt normal for about the first week.....i got about 5 hours in a night and once in a while id get restless legs but i believe it was because the stiches and soreness ...and i usually sleep on my stomach but couldnt...itll get better quick ...it did for me

yes that first shower is amazing lol.....u start to feel human again lol

i showered with my drain

i showered with my drain

yes u will be able to

WELL PEOPLES FINALLY TOOK THE PLUNGE.... GOT THE SLEEVE ON NOV 4 IN TIJUANA MEXICO BY DR ALMANZA AT THE JERUSALEM CLINIC. EVERYTHING WENT SO SMOOTHLY. THE PEOPLE AT THE CLINIC AND THE RECOVERY HOUSE ARE AMAZING. SO I WAS WEIGHING IN AT 307 WHEN I WENT ON A 5 DAY LIQUID PRE OP DIET, JUST GOT HOME LAST NIGHT AND I WEIGH 288. I FEEL GREAT.. NOT EVEN THAT SORE OR TIRED. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WEEKS AHEAD OF LIQUIDS AND MUSHIES BUT ITS ALL GOOD. TIJAUNA WASNT SCARY AT ALL....I CANT BELIEVE ALL THE NEGATIVE HYPE. I WALKED AROUND BYMYSELF AT NIGHT WITH NO ISSUES. ANYWAYS IF ANYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING GIVE ME A HOLLER

i havent used the magic bullet yet because i cant have protein shakes yet .....im still on clear liquids. im sure the magic bullet will be best for the sleeve because it makes smaller portions .....mine is still new in the box.....patiently waiting to get to that stage. cant believe how fast the weight is coming off ....just weighed myself im 285 today ...thats 22 pounds in 6 days WOOP WOOP feeling like a champ too.....back to work tommorow

thanks everyone...this site is so awesome with support. just picked up a magic bullet and a bunch of protein powder and vitamins...im all stocked up. only clear liquids for me so far tho lol. can anyone tell me how i start a ticker thingy????? i will keep my progress updated. and does someone know when i should do my first check up with a doc?

hey guys im going to mexico next month for vacation and surgery. i was going to get the surgery done in tijuana but have decided against it. cancun is a few thousand more ....but i was wondering if anyone here had the surgery in cancun or puerto vallarta or any vacation destination???? i found one in cancun but they want 7700 bucks. does anyone know a cheaper surgeon in mexico that is based out of any vacation destination in mexico??? (wish i could go to tijuana to get it but im not allowed in the usa and flights within mexico are pretty expensive) any info would be appreciated thx
