Recommended Posts

I sometimes walk by mirrors and have to do a double take!!

I have had friends not recognize me if they haven't seen me in a while!

I am filled with gratitude for Dr Aceves and his staff....

Six short months and I am down 160 lbs!

No complications!

I have not reached my goal yet but I am confident I will do so!

My life is so much better now... I wish I had not waited so long!!

That's amazing!! It's so good to hear from people who aren't too long out of surgery and doing so well. :)

Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!!

Trying on clothes is great!!

Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the costco samples!!

No more knee pain !!

No more shortness of breath!!

These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
