The GV surgery was successful and the results are fabulous
$19,000
Well, I lost about 59 lbs from 211 to 150 lbs in a whole year and three months people are saying I look totally different from what I was last August of 2016. I have a lot of energy running with my children I can walk for miles plus I look younger too and feel that losing weight expanded my lifespan. The downside is the loose skin on my arms and abdomen area that looks like old lady arms and my stomach looks like a soggy paper bag or deflated booty not so impressive. At this time I'm looking into tummy tuck to tighten my stomach so I can fit my clothes a lot better and my actual size is a 5, and 3 maybe I can squeeze in a 1 once I get this surgery I can fit clothes better especially my skinny jeans and treat myself to a tube dress one day. Wish good luck for me on this next endeavor and this is the last surgery I' am going to do just stay healthy GV sleevers.

Beunea Dias, Yazz after the gastric sleeve you start out consuming liquids because internal surgical scares have to heal than purees, if you handle it maybe after 5th month soilds from then on youveat small portions of food nothungvto spicy or rich like pollo friea with breading or bistec a thick steak and el pan take that slowly and hard fruits in time you learned to adjust in time one thing you will know will fast you immediately sense you are full quick. Just go through the process have a nutrtionist to help you along the way definitely have physcologist to help you mentally speaking your body will change from obese to non-obese and excerise that is comfortable to you on your level.I wish you great success to your goals for a healthier you Denada

Helll. Your issue is the same as mine. My BMI is 35 and don't have any obesity related health conditions to qualify based on my insurance standards. Do you meet your insurances criteria or are you requesting a waiver.

Thank you lessh1 I am work in progress to get to my goal and to be honest with you the late nite snacking I do not want to regain all that weight that almost killed me with the hypertension and foot spurs and mad migraine headaches no more of that. I greatly appreciate the support.

My insurances paid for my gastric sleeve surgery and it took a process I had to go through physc, deal with primary care doctor due to the fact I have a preexisting conditions and had to get physicals and deal with the kudney doctor for my adrenal gland and thyroid issues for six months than fun part I had to participate in a weight loss seminar to be educated about the procedures and what you have to deal with the body changes mentally and emotionally speaking then see my Gastric Sleeve surgeon that was my situation and my insurance is Medicade and HMO Healthfirst in New York City mamamita.
