[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np, I got the sleeve almost 6 years ago, and my life has improved in all aspects dramatically. I was 40, 5'6, 214 lbs. and ineligible for surgery in the States due to my low BMI.

I decided to have it done in Mexico; it was the best care I have ever received. It cost $5,500, and I returned to work after one week. Thankfully, I had no significant issues. However, for the first year or two, I had pretty bad heartburn and acid reflux, and I would vomit if I ate too much/quickly.

I lost 83 lbs and have managed to keep it off mainly through diet. One of the benefits is that my stomach can't hold much food; plus, I don't have hunger pains, so diet is relatively easy and second nature at this point. With the exception of eggs (my body won't digest them anymore for reasons unclear), I eat everything that I used to but in moderation.

The surgery was one of the best decisions I have made in my life, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. [/quote]

Did you face reflux prior to surgery?

And it’s not as bad now? [/quote]

No, I never had reflux before surgery. I was honestly a healthy overweight person which is another reason I couldn't get approved here due to lack of cormibodties.

The only issue I have now is smelly gas. I wasn't gassy before surgery so I assume it's a result of it.[/quote]
