Helloooooo to aaaaaall, i seen activity hoppin in this thread and it seems like just yesterday i was in here gathering info and anticipating the day! April 25th will mark my one year sleeversary :D i will say to the newcomers...it's been the BEST decision of my life! dont compare ur journey to anyone elses. i expect to be another 10lbs down by April 25th to bring me to 190! I'm not rushing to get to 175 and the KEY is to eat right. i've had so many stalls n scales goin up n down becuz i was still in fat girl mentality. i still enjoy buffalo wings i just dnt eat 10 but 3 or 4 lol. pizza and marinara pretty much makes my stomach funny so i dnt eat that (alot) NO WHITE BREADS AT ALL or carbs for that matter. listen to ur body. once you get in the habit of eating better you'll realize that fried chicken wasn't so good after all. do i eat plants all day...of course not cuz im human lol. i can still eat whatever i want i'm just more mindful of it. I have a trainer in which i work out 2-3 times a week that's helped alot and it's truly a lifesyle change. im learning everyday to get better.

congrats and good luck april sleevers!!! ;-) you'll look back in a year wondering dmn why didn't i do this sooner.

Kisha, what an awesome post! I couldn't have said it better myself! My surgiversary is on April 8 and it has been an amazing journey! Along with the physical changes, there were/are so many emotional changes, good and bad, and I am still trying to get used to my new body. It wasnt until just recently did I not mentally feel big and overweight and some days I still relapse. But overall, my surgery is one of, if not, the BEST DECISION I have ever made!!

Good luck to all!!

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

My surgery is with Dr Garcia on April 24th

I'm having surgery with Dr Lopez on 4/12/14

We're a military family so we do have insurance however does anyone know if it's covered in Mexico too? I've seen ads but never too sure if they're legit or not. I've seen a YouTube video for Dr. Lopez. Any advice?

I'm going to Dr lopez on May 15, what was the video about?

      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!!

      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! 😞
