Dr ismael Cabrera thoughts on him ?

I was sleeved by Dr. Cabrera one month ago. Nothing but wonderful things to say! My gf who came with me used him 2 years ago as well. Good luck with your choice!
Thank you I believe I am going to go with him this May :)
Good luck let me know if you have any questions!

@@skor514 when I had to make my deposit, my patient coordinator sent me a link to make a payment. The $500 deposit had to me made for me to get my date... I had the option of direct payment, sending money from my back to their bank account. The remainder payment had to be made prior to my surgery... Through the previous link or a cashiers check given the day prior to surgery. I had my surgery March 2 and am 1.8 pounds away from loosing 50 pounds... my half way point. Hope this helps!

Good morning. 6 weeks ago tomorrow, I started a journey that would change my life... I would like to thank everyone for their support, the wonderful staff at A Lighter Me, (for which I can not say enough and highly recommend them for anyone who struggles with their weight), my friends, neighbors, co-workers and my family. Well today I am glad to announce that I have passed my first goal... As of today, I have passed my 50 pound weight loss, the half way point to my ultimate goal. I know 6 weeks is a short time to have lost so much and know that the next 50 pounds will not be as fast or easy, but I didn't decide to go through all I have been through to give up now. So thank you all.

You

Good evening fellow travelers. Since I haven't seen a group posting for February/March 2015 I thought I'd start one. I am interested in who you chose and where you're having your surgery. I have not set a date yet, but I will be talking with Katy Floyd (from A Lighter Me) on Monday to discuss setting a date and answering some of my questions. I am 49 years old (going to be a healthier 50's and beyond) man. I am a nurse,working in an ICU, and have been working nights for the majority of the past 27 years. I have decided on Dr Elias Ortiz, with A Lighter Me, in Tijuana, Mexico. I hope to share more of my story in the future.

. Hey, do you mind me asking his long you were of work? I'm an RN too... Also I'm a bit concerned about his I will stay hydrated while busy working. I'm planning on having having the sleeve done in TJ in late May. Thanks!

@@cmhueto I took off a total of 18 days, but that only ended up being 2 weeks of vacation time, as I work 3 12 hour shifts a week. Good luck with your sleeve and wish you all the success!!!

Thanks for the reply, I only work 3 shifts a week too, but only 8hrs (pt) so it's a bit easier... Id off for my lap choley for only a week... Was pretty tender, but I'm thinking this should be similar.

I took 2 weeks off... to be safe. I did come down with strep throat a week after surgery... So it was a minor set back... I was ready to go back to work when I did...

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
