So..it was on here that I was able to talk to people and find out the best information to have my surgery..going to Mexico was scary and i did not know what would happen...they picked me up at the airport and drove me to the hospital. The staff and doctors were so kind and caring...and I had my surgery the very night I flew in. I had NO pain! and was out of the hospital in 2 days. In fact I felt so good I even sent time site seeing in S.D. California because I flew home...It is 2 weeks and I'm down 20 pounds, have great energy and no complications....my entire surgery cost 5,500....this is the start of my new life and I'm happy that I chose the super Sleeve.

Raven,

I am heading down there in a couple of weeks and wasn't scared until I purchased the plane tickets, now it just seems so real. Omar was telling how they just had a patient that felt so good that she went site-seeing in SD I am assuming it must have been you. I can't believe you have lost so much so fast, I hope I have the same results. Good luck and keep up the good work, I'm sure it can't be easy.

Hi Raven,<br /><br />I am a little confused. I had heard the super sleeve was something other than a plication surgery. Did you have part of your stomach removed or did you have it folded and stitched. I am having surgery next year, but I am so confused over which surgery to have. I cannot decide between the sleeve or plication. The sleeve has been used for longer and therefore the long-term information is more reliable. The plication sounds easier and safer, but no one really knows what will happen 10 years down the road with the stitches or the stomach tissue. What made you decide on the surgery you had?

Super sleeve and plication are one and the same.

People seem to loose ALOT of weight FAST with the sleeve, the one where they cut out your stomach. I had plication done and I am losing weight and feel fabulous, but I think if I had the sleeve I would be loosing faster. I had my surgery January 10th, I was 272lbs and a size 22/24 jean. Today I am 238 and a size 16 jean. My surgeon was Dr. Abril in Mexicali and he performs ALL of the different weight loss surgeries. If you want any information let me know. Good luck.
