Yes. On Monday. Great experience. Do research on your surgeon!

I had it done 8/30/16 with Jorge Maytorena at Long Term VSG. No regrets. It was a great price and his pre-op diet is high Protein, low carb. Not starving liquid diets like some.

I had Sleeve surgery with Dr Jalil Illan on 5/18 in Tijuana, these are my 4 month update photos below. I took out a personal loan thru my credit union at a super low interest for $5500, that covered the cost of surgery and flights for myself and my companion. It left a little for time missed from work.

I'm 5'4", my highest weight was over 255

SW:232

CW: 185

I had the lapband in 2009 but had constant issues with it and it was finally removed in 2016.

I love the Sleeve and would do it again in a second. My results have nearly matched my best weight on the band and it took me over a year with the band.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
