Hi Everyone,

Well, I am approaching almost 3 years of being sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. He is the very best doctor I could have ever gone too, and his staff are all GREAT. It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was the person who thought "what if I am the one person that this will not work on?". I was 63 when I had WLS. Well that was the wrong thing to think. I am the person that this DID work on.

It does take effort and work on my part to make this all happen. I tried to thank Dr. Aceves for what he did for me. He said "I only gave you the tool, you did all the work yourself, so take the credit for being successful." So, on that note I am taking the credit for my OWN success. It is not a diet, but a lifestyle change that is required. I never feel deprived.

Take care everyone,

Suzanne

Could you tell me about your journey? I have a lapband and want a sleeve. A friend of mine got a sleeve and another friend has a lapband. A friend with a lapband says her 2 siblings have sleeve and that the feeling of setiety and fullness goes away. Is that true?

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
