Hi Bajanqueen,

Just checking in to see how you're doing? We had surgery the same day and I've been wondering about you. Hope all's going great!

Snoozeyoulose how are you doing? I live in Vancouver and I'm interested in the sleeve.... going to talk to my Dr about the proceedure on Wed. Gather this is not done much in Vancouver... trip to Mexico might be in my future. Anyways, hope it all went well for you. Cheers, Carolyn

Hey Michell...how are you doing so far? I am doing great other than bouts with acid reflux..i sure hope it goes away after time and isn't a permanent issue.

Hello Curious!! Doctors in our area don't know much about the Vertical Sleeve and there is about a 6 year waiting list to have it done in British Columbia so that is why I had my surgery in Mexico. I would highly recommend Dr. Fernando Garcia and The Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana. Dr. Garcia did the surgery for my sister, a friend, and myself the same day and we are all doing fantastic and losing weight as expected.

Hi snoozeyoulose. I'm doing great too. I also have some acid issues, but after trying a few different things, my doctor finally put me on Prevacid and that seems to be doing the trick. I've lost 37 lbs. so far. Still having trouble getting everything in, but that's gradually getting better. I'm still amazed and very thankful this is the surgery I chose! Glad to hear you're doing so well, too.
