<br />
This week we wanted to feature a gentleman who has won the hearts of every person at BeliteWeight (including the surgeons)! Joe Luna had his surgery about 3 months ago at the Tijuana location has lost about 87 lbs. and is still on his way down. Below are Joe's photos and weight loss story:<br />

I was an eating machine, a food-addict, the “big guy” at work; I lived to eat. I knew I needed to make a change and I could not do it alone. This is when I found BeliteWeight. My patient facilitator and I discussed and decided that the Vertical Gastric Sleeve procedure was the perfect fit for me. Going into this surgery in Mexico, I never knew the outcome would ever lead me to meeting such a great group of people, now whom I call friends. When you arrive, you are picked up by Alberto, who was an absolute blast. He loved his country and showed me how wonderful it truly is. The doctors are there for you through it all, when I needed something, the nurses and doctors would be at my hospital bed in less than 30 seconds. It’s this type of personalization that makes everything perfect. <br />
<br />
In one month, I went from a size 60 to a 52 and I keep losing. It makes me really ask myself, what did I do to get to this way and was it ever worth it. I would take at least 4-6 Advil every day for pain and ever since the day of my surgery, I have not take any pain pills. If you’re miserable and uncomfortable, this surgery and the people at BeliteWeight takes this away and gives your confidence back and now, I am paying it forward.</div>

True hunger is, "usually felt first in the stomach – as blood sugar drops, the body releases hormones that stimulate the stomach to contract, and you get hunger pangs." A lot of people confuse the sensation of hunger with just simply </span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">wanting to eat</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> – which is actually defined as </span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">appetite, </span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">not hunger</span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">.</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> To help learn the difference, allow a moderate amount of hunger to set in – to really recognize the body’s signals that say “time to eat” – and to put the fork down when they feel comfortable – not stuffed. <span id="more-956"></span> This helps to incorporate healthier, filling foods along the way. Because in the end, if you feel hungry, it’s going to be a lot harder to stick with the program. It is important to appreciate every bite, savor the flavor, as some might say. Here’s a list of seven of the most filling and healthy foods you can eat, that I found from Susan Bowerman, MS, RD, CSSD.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDe7fXnUorGFdR1O8ti2ZtapfZpT_3mQlaJsJwW3BkxtUDzQZGS4pel5LZHg0L0ahvvvInJu7SgnVDUdcQuZFLgUYcsX9fhwEf6_qQqgkNe56j7HJt6rh2FeODBHsNRPckcnAH0oQrpT1C/s1600/yogurt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDe7fXnUorGFdR1O8ti2ZtapfZpT_3mQlaJsJwW3BkxtUDzQZGS4pel5LZHg0L0ahvvvInJu7SgnVDUdcQuZFLgUYcsX9fhwEf6_qQqgkNe56j7HJt6rh2FeODBHsNRPckcnAH0oQrpT1C/s320/yogurt.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <strong>Fish</strong> – Fish is one of the most concentrated sources of protein around. And that’s critical, because – compared with fat or carbohydrate – protein is the clear winner when it comes to satisfying hunger. And, since most fish is much lower in fat compared with meat or poultry, you get more protein per bite. Fresh baked or broiled fish is great, but if you’re short on time, don’t overlook canned tuna and salmon, or frozen fish filets, shrimp and scallops.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <strong>Berries – </strong>High-fiber foods take time to digest, which gives them staying power. And while all whole fruits provide some fiber, berries are some of the highest fiber fruits around. One cup of raspberries has a whopping 8 grams of fiber – twice what you’d get in an apple – for only about 65 calories. Frozen berries are always available, and they’re convenient add-ins to protein shakes – you can also thaw them slightly and use to top yogurt or cottage cheese for a filling meal or snack.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Broccoli -</strong> Vegetables are high on my list of filling foods because they’re full of calorie-free fiber and water – so they fill you up, not out. Broccoli is one of the highest fiber veggies -one cup of chopped cooked broccoli has 6 grams of hunger-busting fiber. And loading up your plate with cooked broccoli will only cost you about 50 calories per cup. (Try it with a little garlic and olive oil to give it flavor!) </div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Black beans</strong> – Beans provide a one-two punch against hunger – they’re high in fiber and they also pack a fair amount of protein. A half-cup of black beans will give you about 8 grams of protein along with 8 grams of fiber. Navy, pinto and kidney beans all run a very close second. Toss some beans into salads, soups or pasta to make them more filling and satisfying.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Quinoa</strong> – you can get a good amount of fiber from most whole grains – and they hold more water than ‘drier’ grain foods like crackers or pretzels, so they’re more filling. Quinoa stands out because it also has more protein than most grains – about 8 grams per cup. And, unlike barley and brown rice that require long cooking times, quinoa is ready in about 15 minutes. Try it as a side dish, or as the base for a main-dish salad with chopped veggies and grilled chicken added. (You can put fruit and nuts in your Quinoa too!) </div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Nonfat Greek style yogurt</strong> – Most nonfat dairy products are good sources of protein, but Greek-style yogurt is a standout. Since it’s concentrated, a single-serve carton of nonfat Greek style yogurt can pack nearly twice as much protein as the regular style – as much as 15 grams. Try it for dessert – the protein will fill you up and help curb evening snacking. (It is amazing with berries too!)</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Vegetable soup</strong> – Vegetable soup is low in calories, and since it contains so much water, it’s really filling. Starting a meal with a cup or bowl of broth-based soup often means you’ll be satisfied with a smaller portion of your main meal. A cup of veggie soup makes a great afternoon snack, too.</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">http://www.discovergoodnutrition.com/index.php/2011/08/seven-best-foods-to-fill-you-up/</div><div style="font-family: georgia, 'Georgia Ref', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

Once again, we had a wonderful time in Mexico. It is always great to meet the patients, as we get to develop a personal relationship with them. We cannot wait to watch the progress of each person.<br />
<br />
We are also starting to tweet while each person is in surgery! If you have a surgery coming up with us or are looking to have bariatric surgery, your family and friends who are not with you can be informed on how everything is going when you are in surgery and how you are feeling after surgery! Let us know if you want us to do this for you! We are looking forward to meeting new patients, soon to be friends in Mexico in September! We also are doing Medicare A&B in Las Vegas, if interested, please call us!

JoAnne brought Melissa, who is managing the public relations of BeliteWeight, on her first trip to Tijuana and sisters Ishi and Joyce came for a night! JoAnne's sister, Teri joined in on the fun later on as well. We met some amazing new people! We even had one of our old patients, Hilda bring one of her co-workers to get a surgery done. We love it when old patients bring their friends to help them live a more healthy and fulfilling life, so if you have any friends who are possibly interested in the procedures, let us know! We would love to give them more information. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We had an amazing first day on our Mexico trip. As you can tell, we are all a close community at BeliteWeight. When you choose us, you are apart of our family. We always love to know how you are doing and will never leave you in the dark. Don't Wait, BeliteWeight! BeliteWeight (800) 215-6497http://www.blogger.com/profile/12976956787385414573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154217120139432680.post-7797829147763999082011-08-01T17:13:00.000-07:002012-08-17T04:13:38.478-07:00Our Whirlwind Trip to Las Vegas<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We are really happy to announce the addition of our new Las Vegas Medicare program for some of our weight loss surgery patients. Medicare pays for either the <a href="http://www.beliteweight.com/about_lap_band.php" target="_blank">Lap Band (Gastric Band)</a> or <a href="http://www.beliteweight.com/gastric_bypass.php" target="_blank">Gastric Bypass (RNY - Rouex n Y.)</a> We have heard that possibly they might cover the Gastric Sleeve sometime starting in 2012 but this isn't confirmed yet. <br />
<br />
In order to qualify and have Medicare pay for weight loss surgery the patient must have Medicare Parts A & B, a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 35 or higher and a medical condition such as sleep apnea, diabetes or hypertension (these are only a few, please call for more details.) For more information or to see if you qualify please call our Medicare Specialists at 1-800-215-6497.<br />
<br />
A week ago, part of the BeliteWeight Team, JoAnne, Jamie, Sa and Teri, went to our new Las Vegas location to assist the patients who have <a href="http://www.beliteweight.com/medicare_info_inquiry.php" target="_blank">Medicare Coverage</a> for their surgery and who were arriving that week. <br />
<br />
We left our office in Irvine, California on Sunday afternoon and hit the road to Las Vegas (about 4 hours away.) It was a relatively boring drive except for great company in the car and some of the scenery was interesting and pretty, in a desert sort of way.<br />

Then we settled in and went up to a restaurant in the "tower" to eat dinner. We ordered some mini dishes like appetizers & from their smaller menu portions and shared them. With some of us being weight loss surgery patients, we still had food left over to snack on later in the room.<br />

Although the M Hotel is not on the Las Vegas strip, we highly recommend it as a great place to stay if you are just visiting or on vacation. They have comfy beds and a nice casino for an affordable rate without paying for resort taxes. Patients coming for surgery will be staying at a hotel much closer to the hospital.<br />
<br />
Monday was spent working on coordination for the patients that were coming in for surgery, and went by Dr. Hanna's office and by the Psychologist's office also.<br />

Here's Nicole having her leak test / band position checkup on Wednesday morning with Dr. Reyes & Dr. Elmo while her mom observed. It's actually very interesting to watch the live X-ray of the liquid contrast drink flowing down through the new stomach.<br />

</tbody></table>Now, because JoAnne felt that a little excitement was needed, she dislocated her shoulder while sleeping at the hotel on Tuesday night.<br />
<br />
We woke up Dr. Elmo at the hotel at 3:30 AM then he and Jamie loaded her up in the car and took her over to the hospital. Dr. Reyes was already called and so he arrived shortly after and had already called a specialist to come over and put it back in place. She then rested the rest of the night at the hospital. Here she is the next morning feeling much better. Thank you Dr. Elmo & Dr. Reyes for being there to help in the middle of the night!<br />

So don't wait, BeliteWeight! :) </span></span><br />

After the first day or two, you will be allowed to drink or eat anything that forms a liquid at room temperature, including strained soup, pudding and protein shakes. These liquids provide nutrition while allowing your body to heal. If you had a restrictive procedure, such as a gastric band, or a combination procedure like a gastric bypass, the size of your pouch will limit the amount of liquids you can take in at any given time so you will need to sip liquids all day long.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After two weeks of liquid, you may begin to add pureed or mushy foods to your diet to allow your body to adjust to eating solid food. At this state, you may eat sugar-free food blended to the consistency of baby food, including small amounts of meat, fruit and vegetables, says Aills. Include a variety of healthy foods, including low fat yogurt and milk. Drink water and other sugar-free, caffeine-free fluids between meals to avoid dehydration. Add new foods gradually and, for restrictive procedures, avoid eating too much. Your pouch will hold about one oz. of food at a time, so keep meals small.</span></div><h3 class="description_section" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Eat a healthy, balanced diet but always eat your protein first because you will need 60 to 80 g per day to prevent losing lean muscle mass, says Aills. Add small amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your meals but stop eating as soon as you feel full. Continue to drink water between meals but drink nothing during meals to avoid washing the nutrients through your digestive system.</span></div><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
