Yes I got the hiccups 2 days after surgery and thought this can't be good. But it was fine. Now I get them when I eat to fast.

Welcome and good luck on your journey.

Congrats!!!

Good luck. Dr.kelly was my surgeon. I felt very safe. Congratulations on your surgery.

Congratulations, happy birthday. You look beautiful and so happy.

No I think she was saying the by pass was controversial. I saw the interview as well and thought she might be talking about the sleeve. I wonder why not just say. I know it's none of our business but if you bring up surgery at all maybe you should just say what kind.

Love it! Great job!

Don't feel guilty. Maybe the dream is just to give you a freebe. A way to eat without the guilt of actually eating it. Don't feel guilty for doing the right thing and dreaming the wrong. A dream is just a dream. Take it as a freebe and keep up the good work.

Amazing. You look great. very inspirational. Check out them arms girl.

I heard you can drink as much water as you want.you need to try to get ay least 64 oz in anyway.

Does anyone know what the 5 day pouch test is?

Hello everyone, If you have had the gastric sleeve plication in Mexico can you tell me who your doctor was and what the experience was like for you? I am having a very hard time choosing. Thanks.

Hi ladies, so my question is a little personal, sorry. I have an IUD so pre surgery I would get my TOM regularly but just spotting. Since surgery, Feb 11, I had my period that day and it end a couple of days after surgery. Then again a week after just spotting a couple of days. Now again 2 days ago but heavier. Not really really heavy. But heavier than i'm used to with the IUD. Has this happen to anyone else or have you heard of this. Can it be a sign of anything more serious?

I'm praying for you and excited for you that you have found the silver lining. Kudos to you for that. I am positive everything will be fine and can't wait to here how great you feel after.

You are awesome!!! Congrats on making the first of all your goals!!

I also hard no bowel movements after surgery. I actually didn't go until 2 weeks after. I took MiraLAX to help with that. I wasn't uncomfortable from not going but thought it was weird not to go for that long.

I pray to god everything works out for you

What is the 5 day pouch test?

Thanks. I feel much better. This forum and you ladies are a lifesavers.

Can't get to your you tube on my phone. I was able to last time. Oh well off to the computer I go. I love watching your updates. Thanks.

I had my surgery in mexico. But today I went to a follow up at a bariatric surgeons office here local to me. I called ahead of time and explained my situation about my surgery in Mexico. And they said it was fine. I don't have insurance so I paid $125 cash to be seen. By the drs. PA not himself. She was in the hall and yelled out why am I seeing someone who had her surgeryin mexico. I heard someone answer because dr.coates wants to be the follow up dr for patient from mexico. She then yelled then he should see them himself then. When she came in my room I asked her if these were issues she should of taken care of herself before taking my $125 she then apologized and said she would make sure I got my moneys worth she was just thrown off by me being there so soon after my surgery and that she didn't know I had surgery in mexico'til right before she was going to walk in. I said ya I could hear that. She said they hardly do check ups with people who have had the sleeve because dr. coates just started doing them. Also she said people don't come back for follow ups because this surgery is like being on a diet and they fail. She said she wuil continue to see me for blood work and to track my weight. So anyway gus's i'm just venting. But that visit really ruined my whole day.

Lol. It was supposed to be check up. Sorry, using my phone.

You look wonderful and it makes me jewell great that you feel wonderful. pictures are awesome

Thanks for the good news and encouragement. I'm in the dreaded 3rd wreek stall that started at 2 weeks for me.
