[tarahdrouin]

Did they give you a catheter during surgery?

[erodjunior]

I had the sleeve done about two weeks ago and I have lost 27 pounds. Feeling great.

[Chrissee435]

What were you told about long term complications? I'm researching my options. Thought I would go with the Lap Band. Now I'm not so sure

[MissCountryChloe]

I'm getting Sleeve in a few months at Innova hospital in San Antonio :) I'm 14 so it's scary, but I am sooo excited!

Very good presentation - - a lot of helpful and pertinent info, good stream of speaking (not a lot of ummms and pauses - - those vids lose me in a snap), clear video, and good personality!

We paid for it out of pocket, but I think that we have saved that amount by not having to order two dinners when we go out, I just eat off of other people's plates.

yes, food smells so good! I am four days post - op, still crave for food. The pure liquid diet is not easy at all. Wish to get to the full- liquid diet sooner ! Thanks for you and your sister's video, i also have my VSG with Dr A. Excellent doctor, not a lot of pain during and after the surgery . Highly recommend ! Just wish the hungry goes away soon ! And I dream about food in my dream ~

[aswillia19]

On your pre liquid diet.. U said u cheated on it.. What did you eat??

Im on that liquid diet and omg i hate being on it

[diablos180]

i just did this surgery too and trust me i know its not easy!

[EmceeGeek]

i had lapband and i only went down 30. i need to work on it...

[PhoenixEscaping]

I just had my Gastric Sleeve down four days ago. Bouncing back quickly! I had more pain recovering from my gallbladder removal than the sleeve. Went into the surgery prepared and well informed. It truly is the best decision I ever made. I still want the taste for certain foods, but not physically hungry. Can't wait to be onto full liquids though...

[marv443]

I am so nervous as my surgery is next wed the 13th,, i watch you over and over as it makes me feel the excitement and less fear. thanks

[getdowngirl1]

Hello-- I have been watching all of your videos. I was sleeved last week. what i am really wondering is why it is so easy for me to drink liquids as i did before. I can drink 16 0z of liquid and gulp it down with no problem. I don't want to stretch my sleeve. Please tell me about liquids... do they stretch the sleeve? I have been reading things that say it takes folks an hour to drink 8 0z of liquid. I have no problem drinking 16 oz in a short time. Please help me if you can.

[joelle75052]

Was it $9750 with your insurance?

[dhuhahussam]

Hi....am so happy for you...you look so happy as well...could you tell me in which part of the world is your doctor...is it UK or US?

[j3sistasjlc]

did you guys ever have any chest discomfort after the surgery? like did you have to build your lungs back up...and work on breathing deeply? at what point did the soarness from the scars go away..and when did your body feel "normal" again?

[krbtv]

You should try Unjury Chicken Soup. Hot tap water is all you need and it taste good. It has 90 calories and 21 grams of protein. Zero grams of fat.

[GastricSleeveReviews]

To be honest with you, I wasn't that nervous. I knew that the surgery was going to get me where I wanted to go. I have my whole life in front of me and goals that I wanted to achieve. I can't believe how much the surgery has already changed me. Tanya, on the other hand was nervous like you. It's definitely a big step, but it's also well worth a happy and healthy life.

[kaylee0204]

i am having my surgery on september 16 i really want the surgery but i feel so nervous about it

[GastricSleeveReviews]

It was a couple hundred for a ticket to San Antonio. We were in a small border town and it was really safe. The surgery was $9750 and completely worth every penny. I went to Dr. Alvarez and I do recommend him. He probably has done more gastric sleeve surgeries than any other doctor in world.

[krbtv]

Were you afraid going to Mexico? How much was the total cost there?

[hopeinco]

I had read through a lot of other comments, I was a little nervous but everything turned out ok. the rooms were nice and the people and nurses very friendly. I also think the area we were in was a lot safer then other areas. We flew into San Antonio and then were driven to the border about two hours away.

thanks for the info...Im starting my journey too....
