Hi everyone,

I am heading to TJ for VSG on May 2, 2014 with Dr. Elias Ortiz (A lighter Me). Will be at the Marriott until the 6th. Say hi if you'll be there too.

Thanks...James

Hi FeeFee,

I'm also having the VSG. My wife and I are arriving in TJ on 5/1, with surgery scheduled for the following day at Mi Doctor. Anxious, but confident in this decision. Is anyone traveling to TJ with you? Look forward to meeting you as well.

Unfortunately I will be traveling alone. But I am also confident in my decision, and I believe everything will go as planned.

Hi James

Just wondering how everything went ?? I'm having my surgery on May 10th with Dr Ortiz. I'm also going through A Lighter Me. Any input would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi Everyone,

I just returned from Tijuana and wantd to give you an update.

The entire experience was excellent and could not have been better. Abraham and Eduardo were great and punctual. The doctors were outstanding. The nursing staff was genuinely caring and attentive. Each day after the surgery was considerably better than the previous day and by day 3, my wife and I were going to the mall and movies...no problems at all.

Anyone using A Lighter Me will be in good hands and I could not recommend them any higher.

Be well...James

      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? 🤷‍♀️
