I will be sleeved on May 22. I cannot wait! I too hate going out in public and cannot wait until I can feel less self conscious. I am tired of always feeling fat and slow. I am currently at my all time high of 230 pounds. I am 5'4 and gained 50 after back surgery. I hope to lose 90-100 pounds.

My surgeon did not start me on a pre op diet. I was just told to "not gain any weight." Has anybody else been told that?

In my experience the pre-op diet helped prepare for after the surgery. It's all about replacing habits with new habits. My pre op was Protein shakes and Protein Bars and one small dinner a day.

For me ive been eating 1200 calories per day for a few years now. ..anything under makes me too hungry but after surgery ill feel full quicker. I dont think anyone can fully prepare. Me? I'm having what they call a food funeral...I'm not having crazy amounts of food (never did) and still keeping the calories pretty low but I'm had Pasta last night and a donut the other day.

I only have to do one day of liquids prior to surgery. And since surgery is tomorrow, and I have my pre-ops today (they want those done while fasting), that will be today!

I'm mostly looking forward to getting my band removed. The sleeve is sort of secondary to that. I'm still only 25lbs over my original gaol, so feel a bit conflicted about the sleeve. I know that, without it, my weight will increase drastically, but for me, it's more preventative. Although I AM looking forward to having a new goal weight. :)

My pre op appoinment was about three hours long. And I met with my nutritionist and then the nurse and then my surgeon. They explain you everything thatvis goi ng to happen to you and they gave you prescriptions for the medicine after surgery such as urso that you have to start taking a month after surgery. Hope thos helps.

I just learned that I will have surgery May! I saw the surgeon today expecting to be told July, but was told that I could only have it at the end of September! i panicked because I have mobility problems and need this to happen soon. I remembered that i had a trump card (really good private insuance) and suddenly his tune changed. He then said "I cant next week, but am free the following week." I'm stoked. I'll be a May sleever!!!

Hello all, I am going to blog my entire experience at Star Medica when I feel up to the length of the story it will turn out to be... but for now I have to say, anyone that is considering this hospital or Dr. Rodriguez, DO NOT HESITATE!! I have never, I mean NEVER had such amazing medical care in my entire life!! I feel wonderful today, (3 days out) having zero problems getting in 60 gms of protien via Isopure, a couple of gatorades, and have had about a cup of beef broth as well. If it were not for the fact that I have to swallow slowly, pace myself and feel a little pinching pull around my drain sight, I would not even beleive I have had surgery at all.

I simply cannot say enough about this hospital, the staff, my surgeon, and my experiance. I am so impressed that once I reach my goal weight, I have every intention of returning to Juarez to see if I can get Dr. Rod, and Dr. Elmo to accept an offer of a dinner out on me. :)

      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!!
