I'm 24 years old ,weight 280 lb I have been over weight since I turned 12. I constantly gain and lose weight 50-70lb. The highest I've ever weighed was 300 lb. I have hypothyroidism that wasnt diagnosed till i was 23. Today is my first day on full liquid pre-op diet! I am required to be on it for 10 days. My surgery is DEC-20-12. I'm getting my surgery done with Dr.Guillermo Alvarez in Pedras Negras Mexico. I'm self pay and the amount is 8700. I will be at the hospital for 2 days and hotel for another two. I'm very excited to finally get my surgery, I've been talking about it for 5 years!

Congrats and wishing you the best on this journey! It has been 3 months for me so far no frets only wish I would have done it sooner. It's not easy but if you are dedicated to the process and follow the plan you will do great!

I am scheduled for a vsg on 12-21-2012 with dr Alvarez. My nerves are about to get the best of me. During al this process I hurt my Back and see a neurologist Monday 17th. I'm afraid I may have to cancel my appt. I have a herniated disc at my L5. I will be stuck between which surgery fo I have first. Any thoughts? If I am able to keep my appt I will probably see you walking in the halls. I wish you a great surgery and speedy recovery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
