Hi! I'm 27 (as of 4-22) and I am hoping to get my sleeve sometime in the next few months. I am looking to go to Mexico to have Dr. Aceves work his magic. :-) My job doesn't offer insurance so I'm on my own! I think it is great to have this surgery young so that we get the most out of life by being not only skinny but healthy!

I totally agree with you LapGyrl. I looked into Dr. Aceves too, but decided to go with someone else. I can't wait to jump-start a healthy lifestyle with this surgery. We're lucky that we are able to have it done. I'm paying for it myself too, and it's definitely difficult, but totally worth it for a better life.

I'm 27 and had my Vertical Sleeve done on March 22, 2010. My beginning weight was 250 and I'm 212 today, April 30, 2010. The surgery was really easy for me. I was feeling great the day after, it was like I never had anything done and my incision has healed very nicely. I used Dr. Wagner in St. Louis, MO. He performed the surgery with only one incision which was awesome. Oh and I have a very very tiny incision where I had my On-Q pain pump which I highly recommend. He gave me pain meds to take when I got home which I never needed. Please look at www.hoab.org if you are in the St. Louis, MO area. Heck look if you're not. He's a great surgeon.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
