Wow, there doesn't seem to be a lot of action in the international part of the forum. ;)

Any sleevers (or other WLS) here in Japan? I haven't booked my surgery yet, but will do so soon (probably Mexico). While I love this entire site for all the help I've been getting from it, it would be nice to talk to people who have had to deal with various issues pre- and post-op while living in Japan.

I don't live in Japan but I've stayed there for a year or two. I'd be best if you booked a surgery in the US or in the UK.

I've been for over a decade! (where does the time go?) I'm already planning a surgery in Mexico - the UK or the US would be way too expensive for me (might as well get it done in Japan).

I did look at some other options in Europe, but they are still about $1000+ more expensive than Mexico...I could wait and see if the euro depreciates, but would rather get on with it.

Cheers.

Mexico is okay but sometimes they're sanitation isn't that great and sometimes they cut corners. I just want you to be safe but do whatever you think is best!

Honestly, it is not the best place to go for surgery. I had a friend go for surgery and she got a bad infection. You would probably just have to bite the bullet and have surgery either in your country, America or the UK.

Seriously?

First of all, I know how to do my research and that kind of attitude is not welcome. Thousands of people go to Mexico every year for surgery and don't have any problems. People get infections in the US too.

Secondly, don't assume that everyone is from the UK or the US here, or are covered by insurance.

First of all, please calm down because I never said you didn't know how to do your research.

Second of all, I was replying to a question that was on this post. I know people get infections in the US too but I was just telling the person what happened to my friend.

Third of all, I didn't assume everyone was covered by insurance, stop assuming I am assuming that.

Fourth and for most: readjust your attitude and re read my pervious post. I am not being negative, just giving my honest opinion.

Have a blessed day.

      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?

      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
