You guys will do GREAT! Ernesto is quiet; however, if you talk to him, he will talk to you -- ask him any questions -- he had the sleeve done 10 weeks ago and has lost 50 lbs. He has his before pics in the glove box.

You will LOVE Lucy she is like a gattlin gun - she moves you in and out of each phase like a whirlwind. The gal who took my blood did a super job, you can't even see where she took it from - and that's unusual for me.

The anesthesiologist is great, informative, and very easy on the eyes.

EVERYONE is superb and puts you at ease ... then you're off to the resort which is gorgeous and everyone there is incredibly nice and helpful.

Don't forget to take the antibiotic and sleeping pill they give you the night before!

The next morning everything runs like clockwork and you'll be back in your room before you know it ... and you will absolultey LOVE Dr. Aceves ... he is a truly warm and compassionate man.

I can't say enough good things about the entire experience, considering it was major surgery ... tell everyone Susan from Las Vegas said HELLO ... if you have Francisco as a nurse, he's great too.

TRUST ME, YOU WILL BE FINE -- LOOK AT THE PICTURE NEXT TO THE scale BEFORE YOU ENTER THE AREA WHERE YOUR ROOM IS -- IT SAYS IT ALL ... JESUS WITH HIS HAND ON THE SURGEON'S HAND ...

KEEP US POSTED

(and if you like to use kleenex, bring some, they don't have any at the hospital)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
