Hi everyone! I’m new to the sleeve having had my lap band removed recently. My sleeve surgery is in late July. My question to the group is does the sleeve really feel different than the lap band or not having any surgery at all? I’ve heard this, but I’m wondering…

I get my steps in and do weights 3-4 times a week. Should I be doing more cardio? My sister says I should be able to do intense workouts, but im reluctant to do more because I already aim for 13,000 steps or more daily. I'm disappointed I lost 10…

Lots of learning last couple years. To be successful you need: Nutrition Sleep: 7-8 hours/night Water: 1 gallon per day (Water Only) Mindset Weight Loss is all about Calorie Deficit. You will never accurately know until you start logging every piece of food or liquid that enters your mouth. If…

I had WLS about in 2007. I has great success physically but mentally and spiritually I suffered. My weight loss was solely based on the surgery and I never dealt with my lack of discipline.

Spring break came and went, and I was able to visit my sisters in New Jersey and my son In Florida. My mom and my youngest daughter were absolutely sure that I was going to break my diet and gain weight. Yes, I strayed from my usual diet, packing in…

LIED! So I haven't gained it ALL back... but quite a bit. I'm in the midst of seeking insurance approval for a revision. Please, if you've had the surgery CHANGE YOUR WAYS. It will come back. Trust me. Waiting on insurance approval for a revision is so stressful. Cross your…

I had my VSG on 3/15/2021. I could not have had a better team than Dr Alvaraz and his group. From the housekeeping to the nursing, they were the best. I choose Dr. Alvarez because he is the best surgeon I know in the baractric world. I was taken care…

I made the decision to have the Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery, after multiple weight loss attempts, that always led to the same result, gaining all of the lost weight back. I attended the virtual seminar and called two days later to setup an office visit. I had my initial office…
