I agree. I was sleeved by Dr Alvarez on Sept 27, 2013. I'm down 81 pounds. I feel great. Zero complications. Even though he is more expensive than others in Mexico he is top notch. My scars look great. I could not be happier.

Lovely momma, I'm a revision too. I found the sleeve surgery much easier than my band and the port revisions I had. It was also easier than the band removal. The post and pre diet was not easy, but it does give some great results.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am glad to hear you experiences were good. It does make me less stressed. I do not have to do a pre op diet as I weight 177 right now. But the post op sounds tough. I am so looking forward to getting this done, everyday is a struggle not to put on more weight

I had the surgery one month ago. I am just starting to feel stronger. I have been very tired and weak for the last month . Everything went well with the surgery. I have only lost 10 pounds this first month. I was hoping for more. I have 40 more pounds to go. I had a good experience with the surgery but with no follow up care it has been hard because I am not sure why I am so weak and sometimes shaky. I think i need some blood work done.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
