Similar goals...



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just received approval for sleeve surgery and plan to travel to Mexico Feb 18th for surgery. I'm wondering if anyone would like to share their success stories/pictures. Anyone with similar weight/height? How long did it take you to reach your goal weight?

I'm 5'5 and 230 pounds.

Yep Mexico.

How was your recovery? I have a 2 month old and a 2 year old (25 months), is it hard to get around and do things after?

I was 5'2 and 237 pounds. I hit my goal of 129 in 18 months and have maintained it for 9 months. Even though we are sort of similar, everyone loses differently. I saw people with the same stats as me blow past me initially, while others were much slower than me. In the end, some from both groups hit goal and stayed there, some hit goal and regained, and some never hit goal. Moral of the story- the only person in this particular race is you. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
