How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 months!!!!!! ahhhhhh!
It has been almost 6 months since I decided to change my life for the better. On April 1st, 2014, I decided to have the gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. I have focused on my nutrition, changed my bad eating habits and stayed consistent with working out. I have officially disappeared a whole 76.6 lbs!! I've gone from a size 22 (barely fitting) jeans to a size 12, 44DD bra to 36DD, 3-4x shirts to large.
I'm 27 years old and and I have three kids. I've always been one of the younger moms in the stands because my step son is 11 years old. Other baseball & football moms that were almost twice my age could've kicked my butt at any athletic task. I hated stairs, my knees hurt, forget running, bending over to pick something up was out of the question. I was overweight and I felt like I was "old" and incapable.
Since I had the surgery,
I now play indoor soccer

My photos wouldn't attach for some reason to my most recent update.
that time if the month
I've noticed I'm hitting a stall the week I have my period. I had a nightmare the other night, about my sleeve, but awoke to find that I was, if course, perfectly fine. :)
I am now 65.2 lbs down. I'm losing .5-1.2 lbs per day until I started my period today. I've been taking one water pill per week. I'm going to take another tonight because I feel bloated. I drink a ruin off water though, so I'm not worried about getting enough in. I bought a bunch of snack foods to help when leaving the house. Some are a little high in carbs, but I eat more carbs than this when I bring nothing with me.
I've got some photos from this week :)
