Hello everyone

My name is Marie and I was banded July 8, 2008. For anyone who is not sure about going to Monterry Mexico with Dr. Zapata I can asure you that you will have a great experience.

On July 8, 2008 I weighed 207lbs today almost 9 months later I now weigh 134lbs and very proud of myself. I thought I would have a very hard time but eating, drinking, and exercising is very important. If you have been struggling for a very long time with different diets that just don't work this is for you.

From the moment you arrive to the day you leave, Dr Zapata and his team are very professional, friendly, and give you all the information you need to succeed.

The best thing about it is that Ready4Achange assist in making all the reservations and you don't have to worry about anything. Just get there and get ready to change your life for the better.

Thanks,

Marie

I always get kinda irked by posts like this. How do we know your even real? you could be someone from Dr. Zapata's office trying to sell his services. Well if you are real welcome if not i wish you would stop because this kind of advertising is just sad.

my 2 cents.

Hey hey I was banded by Dr. Zapata too! I had a great experience save for the pain. I don't think I was mentally prepared for that. This being my 1st surgery ever. Apart from that, Dr. Zapata and his staff are awesome! I hope to get to where you are Mddorame!

Mr ksill18

You have the right not to trust what people say and I didn't mean it to sound like a sales pitch but I am really happy with the results. I had been struggling with my weight for about 10 years now and at least for me Dr Zapata and his team made a miracle of something I thought I could never accomplish.

I have my before and after pictures I just havent downloaded them yet but I will be posting them so that like you there may be others who still don't believe and again it is understandable because I have also heard of business who actually post positive feedback to get people to look at thier products but this fortunately is the real deal :wink:

Thank you Mrs_Mauricio and you will also get to your goal weight. Just stay positive and have patience.

God Bless You

Marie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
