I was sleeved 12/20/12 and am down 51lbs. I never had any complications nor issues with nausea or vomiting.

I bet that's a great feeling. Were you a high BMI or low? I'm high BMI and have so much to lose.

Dr Aveves was my surgeon. He and Dr Campos were amazing. It was total VIP treatment from start to finish. The hospital was spotless and the staff was so nice! One nurse sat beside me patting my back while I dry-heaved into a trash can from nausea until the meds kicked in. I loved staying in the hospital for the entire 3 days until it was time to go home. Everyone was there at a touch of a button. I lost 70# in 5 months. Been holding steady at 127 since late Jan. Hoping to bust off 5 more before I start my PS Tummy Tuck.

Ernesto was great too' date='[/quote']

Awesome! You'd probably lose that much in excess skin with the tummy tuck tho, right?

don't have any reservations about choosing this medical team!

Arrived at hospital @ 7:30 am. Was in the OR before 9:30am. Received excellent care for 3 days. No complications

Today is 8 wks out - my BMI was 33.6

As of today I have lost 30 lbs.and my BMI is down to 28.7

Only downside is the lack of nutritionist support, but I have found lots of help on this site.

Good luck

Have you emailed Gaby with your nutrition questions? She checks with Dr. Campos and always gets right back to me.

Glad you had a good experience! Both Ernesto and Dr. Campos were sleeved if I'm not mistaken.

There's a reason you see so many positive stories about Dr. Aceves - his team, all the way to Nina and Gaby - are just fantastic. Any questions I had post op were quickly answered and I had a wonderful experience, too.

Congrats on your sleeve and swift healing!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
