Hello! I´m doing my surgery on March 03. Well, is it so painfull as some people say?

[GastricSleeveReviews]

no, I wouldn't say painful. It was uncomfortable and later the acid reflux was bad (not everyone gets that) Well worth the final outcome though

Thank you so much for the updates. The updates are very helpful and contain valuable information for those like me who have yet to have the surgery. I have to say you and your brothers messages really influenced my decision to go to Dr. Alvarez. I am scheduled for Dec 30. Looking forward to starting the journey. Any tidbits or advice would be welcomed.

Again, thanks for sharing your experience.... it has made an impact.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What an exciting new year for you! You will be in good hands.

Thank you for these updates. I miss being able to eat comfortably, but I know I could never control the amount I would eat. Hey - started at 295 lbs, and now at 253 lbs after seven weeks. I'm not complaining! Only another 100 lbs to go.

Isn't it exciting! Congratulations on your weight loss. You will get more used to not eating. I had a great dinner last night, just had to stay away from the bread and drinking anything. I never order my own meal, just eat off of other people's plate.

Thank you for all of your videos! They are so informative, insightful, helpful, and encouraging to others. I would love to know how you are doing today and whether you've been able to keep your weight off. I also wonder whether you found a way to be fulfilled without food like you used to. Thanks and best of luck to you!
