I read...and read... and read. I watched U-tube video's of sleeved patients and there was one that stood out to me. I researched him, the facility and then I read some more from any post I could find. Although I've not had to go through the months of pre-op insurance requirements, its still been a work in progress for me mainly because of the logistics of getting there and back.

Reading...and reading...and reading some more...I agree. I am sure, just like a lot of people on this site, I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am excited about this tool and am just looking forward to being at a “reasonable” weight that I can manage. Losing 50 pounds and then still having another 70 pounds to still lose has really taken its toll on me over the years. I am glad that this site is available. Please feel free to keep in touch!

I've struggled too, and the amazing thing is... I just got my results back from 23andme.... and it tells me genetically, I'm supposed to be small....hmmm...maybe after my surgery, my genes (and my brain) will get it right!!

By going to Mexico, do you feel you're missing out on the nutrition and counselling information you would have gotten had you gone through insurance? I do, but I'm finding so much here and on the various Facebook pages, but I still have questions...

Not really. I actually went through the seminar and the nutritional aspect because I was going to just pay out of pocket here in the states. I think that I am just worried about being so far away from home and having surgery.

I watched this guy, all of his video's ... if you go to You Tube and hear what he has said...about the Mexico experience...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
