I had my GPS. In Dec 2011 and have lost 35 lb. Dr Daniel Juacuz in Tijuana performed the surgery. He and his staff were very patient and professional. I would go to him again if I needed him. From what I read befor hand it may take one year or so to see more changes in my weight. If I would exercise I would probably see more results but to be honest I don't exercise. If a person wanted more drastic results in weight loss faster GPS is not the surgery to consider. I chose GPS because it was the least invasive of all the bariatric surgeries. I had no postop problems at all. VSG would probably give faster results. Personally I did not want to be chopped up permanently. I got what I asked for and now it is really up to me to make better food choices as well as upping my activity level.

I chose this surgery also due to being less invasive did not want my stomach cut, I am doing only the treadmill and once it gets warm will start walking outside. In the summer I golf, so that should be good exercise. This is a fantastic tool that we received, it is only how we use the tool to show great results, I have given myself a goal to be down to my goal weight by September, this gives me lots of time to be realistic, on the bumps that I am sure are going to arise, in the next few months. There is one thing we all need to remind ourselves is the scale is not always our friend, the iINCHINCHS are just as important. Sometimes we can be that size 12 and still weigh 170, that was me the last time I lost weight, gl in your weight loss journey

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
