One month out and I love my sleeve :)
on November 1, 2008 2:37 pm
35 pounds!! woot woot! I am only a month out and I am down 35 pounds! Today I got to eat REAL food. My husband and son and I went to breakfast and I had a bite of egg, a bite of pancake, a bite of ham, and a bite of hashbrown and I was stuffed! YUMMY though! It is great that I can get a little of what I want and I am full! I am going to start working out soon, I am still conserving my energy. I am so thankful i got this done!

30 pounds and counting

I am in a little bit of a stall. I guess its not a real stall since I am still losing. But instead of 2 pounds a day it is 4 oz a day. Bah! Sometimes I just wish I would wake up and it would be gone. But I know I need to let it melt off so that I am healthy. blablabla. Anyway, I am hoping to get out of my stall soon!! Today I was 215! Almost to wonderland!

I love you my lil sleeve. I miss you my food. haha. UGH! I am loving the weight dripping off! I am dying on this whole liquid diet thing! CLEAR LIQUIDS! Meaning I have only had clear broth, Jell-o and sugar-free popsicles for the last week. MUCH harder than I thought it would be, I have NO CLUE how anerexics do it. But I am strong and losing losing losing so that is getting me through everyday.
I am annoyed with people who are ignorant about the surgery. I mean COME ON, "i just hope you can stick to this?" I hope you can get old and die......mooohahahahahaha. K, I am done!

My Story

Hi! My story is kind of a frustrating one! My best friend and I were always chunky together and 2 years ago she decided to have Gastric ByPass. I thought she was insane and lazy. She had the surgery and was sooo happy with the results and she looked amazing and felt great. I decided I didnt want to be fat anymore! So i started the process with my insurance. It was GRUELING! I had all of the appointments done, waited and waited and got rejected for being 11 pounds too thin! hahahha. So I appealed. I was denied. I then got a court date! I went in there and represented myself with a Judge, A lawyer and a Doctor. I was sooo close to winning and I fought to the end, but in the end the law won because of the fact that I was 11 pounds away. (which I have since gained hahaha) Anyway, i started researching self-pay and figured I would get it done in the states and pay around $15,000. I researched and started reading about VSG. I called my friend and asked her, and she said "VSG is awesome, a girl in my gastric class had it done and had NO SIDE EFFECTS, lost the weight fast and felt amazing" so I thought, hey, I am going to look into this. I came to this forum and was amazed at the way everyone loved their sleeve. So I decided it was for me. I started researching American docs figuring I would NEVER and I mean NEVER go to Mexico for Surgery. But the more I researched the more I realized that people who went to Aceves loved him and he was better than the American surgeons. So I figured I was not going to NOT go to a good Doctor, just to NOT go to Mexico. So I researched online and found that he was great, his staff was great and his Hospital was great. It was easy from that point on. Then I found out it was half as expensive and only three hours from Phoenix. My nail in the coffin.I am 10 days away and wished it was tommorow!
