Okay i posted this in the success forum too but wanted to put it in the self pay to let any of you know especially self payers that this surgery is totally worth it and it works so well!!! I could never have imagined i would be down so much in so little time. I was scared to go to Mexico when i first started researching it but was amazed with my experience... i loved my doctor and my coordinator can't say enough great things about them!! I just want you to know that this will be the best decision you have ever made for yourself.. life is great on the other side!! and yes i didn't spell check my video.. i spelled my doctor's name wrong lol...If anyone needs any advice on dr. Ponce de leon please ask away!!!
I love my sleeve it's been five months since surgery and I can't believe how much I've changed since then. I'm including a video i made for my five months but i looked back on the first videos i made and i cannot believe how much i had let myself go.. it is so apparent.. but never was when i was that size. My highest weight was 277 my Surgery weight was 261 and i am now 199 went from a tight 24 to a size 16.. this is totally amazing to me in five short months..
I thank god and praise him for allowing me to finally have this surgery and to be where i am today. My sleeve has worked amazingly for me.. There's nothing i can't eat... just things i won't eat to sabotage myself.. I've stayed away from bread and Pop totally, but anything else in small amounts My sleeve has never been irritated by any food and I've never thrown up thankfully since surgery. I still keep in contact with my doctor and coordinator and they are thrilled with my results. If you are thinking about this surgery find anyway you can to get it done!!! IT works and it's amazing!!
