Hey all,

Life is so good, I am actually here with Dr. Alvarez in MX for my mom and friend to have their surgery, all went great no leaks and now recovering and headed back home on Monday from San Ant, TX. So good to be here again and visit with Dr. A and Jessica, Christina, and everyone is so nice. I am so proud for the people I have sent here, about 7 referrals so far, one is coming next week and another in May! This is still the best thing I have ever done, this is going to save my mother's life, she had hard viseral fat around her organs and blood pressure had been creeping up, I am so happy for her and our family so we can get her healthy and back in shape to live longer! 
If anyone has questions I am here, I feel I have the best doctor ever!

 Viva Mexico!

Crazy times and NOTHING TO WEAR! I love that I just bought a size 12/32 jeans at the Buckle, my daughters favorite store...Thank you God for bringing Dr. A and Nurse Susan into my life...I am so thankful and blessed. I am getting so many compliments and asking where can they do this too..

Nothing is a better compliement than others saying I want to do what you did! And now I have had several friends and hoping family take the SLEEVE plunge. It's an amazing journey and I am really enjoying feeling good and being 50lbs down. People are really taking notice and asking what in the world have you been doing? I went to the sunbed and the girl stared for a minute then said now what's your name and was trying to look at my car, I said Brooksie and she said OMG you look totally different you have lost so much weight! I really just wanted to HUG her...lol...life is good and I still have another 40 to go to get to goal so I am just going to keep on pushing to get to my dream goal...Thanks so much to Dr. Alvarez  and his staff.

Oh Happy Day! Not only is my weight amazing the energy and feelings I have are making me a happier person! I am so glad I did this and I haven't regretted a thing, it was easy and it's been a journey that I can't imagine anyone who has battled weight issues not taking it is so sad! I have told so many people and I have about 5 who are going to go next!!! I am so happy and glad that Dr. A and Susan came into my life that I am sharing it with the world! I am telling it on facebook and any other internet site I can. His book has been read by several family and friends, I am going to buy more just to hand them out to people!!! I love this journey and I thank GOD Everyday, for this new life! my family feels the same way...my daughter has started taking better care of her self knowing how hard it is to lose after she's older.
Thanks friends for your support and I love the losers bench!!

hello all! Hope everyone is enjoying their sleeve as much as I am. I have a cousin who is next, and I had a friend that is doing well too...I am pushing my mom to go next. I would love to see her feel as good as I do and she has alot of abdominal fat where mine was legs, butt, and I am pear not apple shaped.
Dr. A and Susan are such great support, any time I send a message I get one right back, how many doctors do that? NONE! exactly...well I am needing motivation for exercise next, I am losing so easily that I have made myself workout so that has got to change.

Thanks to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez I will reach my healthy goal this year, I am at 186lbs today and I am so excited. I put in all my measurements today so I can keep up with it, not sure what the goals should really be, but they are acceptable until I see how my body looks, I am so happy to be doing this well and feel great at the same time. If anyone wants to know more about this surgery I am an open book!
Thanks to all the support and friends here at obesity help.com

Very happy to be 189 lbs. I am feeling good, no problems, getting my vitamins in daily, I don't miss eating constantly and eating bad all day long, I don't miss anything about it.
I am so glad that I did this and did I already say I wish I would have done this years ago? I know I can't help it, but it's so good to feel this way and to be getting smaller and smaller.

Things are so good here in Arkansas, Work is great and busy, I am shrinking slowly but surely! I bought my first jeans in a store my daughter shops in, and a friend was so impressed that she scheduled for Jan 9th with Dr. A. I am so happy and feel so good, I would do this again tomorrow! I can't wait to see my best friend in Michigan and show her how well I am doing, We are planning a SPA girls trip in the spring to celebrate and so they can take a look at my new body! It's amazing how different it feels to wear clothes I haven't worn in 2 years!!! I have boxes of clothes I can't wait to sell!

Just knowing that this Thanksgiving I will not be able to cram a lot of food in makes me happy! I am going to enjoy cooking and spending time with my family! Not worrying about trying everything in site. Food is not important, but family and friends are! I am excited to be down 34 lbs, I haven't seen alot of these family members in a couple years so I do look different! I hope everyone here has a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am very Thankful to be on here and have new adventures to share on weight loss and new found sizes! and feelings!

I can't believe how well it is all going, I have started mushies and it is going great. I cooked breakfast for dinner last night and the whole family was happy, I had scrambled eggs, oh la la...enjoyed very much. Full fast for sure. I am really trying to get the water in but lacking everyday, I haven't started exercising yet, but helped move my office to the new location which I was sore for days after! I know I have to get my cardio in soon, will start today, I feel good, just working so hard I am exhausted at night. Not seeing my family enough so saying bye I'm going to workout is really not an option right now.  So far, 32 lbs gone and clothes are falling off!
