thinkingabout-it

Has anyone experienced pain after eating? I am 8 months post op. This evening I had 1/2 slice of thin cheese pizza.... now I am having discomfort under my left rib cage. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this before. Thanks!

I am 4 1/2 months post -op i had half a slice of french toast on Sunday!

This has become laughable... Aren't there better things to do?? Like say working out? Working on ourselves. Trying to work through how we got obese anyway and not to become obese again. The way I see it neither Trish or Laurie are feeding me, Fu**ing me or financing me so I could care less who does what to whom or who appears on the latest and greatest website for whatever Doc in Mexico. I've had my surgery, I had a wonderful experience in Mexico and I am down 50 pounds with 20 more to go! Blessings to you all!!!

Then please inform Trish of Dr.Kelly's wife alleged drug problem because it was she who told me it was Dr.Kelly..

I paid the "special" amount in May and booked through Laurie, May 15th do be exact was my surgery date. I wasn't short on money and Dr.Ponce accepted my cashiers check for 4,500.00. The only money sent to Laurie is the depost and the remaining balance is paid to Dr.Ponce directly. Laurie has been with Dr.Ponce long before Trish worked with him. Trish was associated with Dr.Kelly and burned her bridges with him... Trish just recently began working with Ponce... when you contact Trish she will tell you Dr.Kelly is a bad surgeon and has a drug problem. THAT'S why I chose not to go with Trish. Bad cut throat tactics.

I too, was there for 3 nights.

I used Laurie Wolf In May and she was running a special then! I had surgery with Dr.Ponce at INT! If she quoted you that special then it's correct! I had a wonderful experience and Laurie was amazing! Laurie has worked with Dr. Ponce for 7 years, she is independent and not connected with Trish in any shape form or fashion! I too am a nurse and was very pleased with the care I received! Nursgirl feel free to inbox me!

WoW!!!!

I'm right there with all of y'all! I was sleeved May 15th have dropped 36 pounds, and not an ounce since July 1st!! This too shall pass... ~sigh~

Single, sleeved May 15th! Where do you go to meet men? I am 49 and hardly one to go to clubs bars etc...

I had the exact same thing happen to me! I was sleeved May 15th. I went to my PCP she was not concerned... she said it is not uncommon to develop fluid pockets in abdominal area after surgery. She put me on Bactrim DS for 10 days ( i think to just to pacify me). The drainage from my incision never had an odor, I never ran a fever. My incision drained for about two weeks.

Have you tried Isopure? I bought the large bottles of peach/mango it had 40 grams of protein in it. I also like the chocolate Premier protein shakes from Costco/Sams.

You're in good hands with Dr.Ponce and his crew!!! I was sleeved by him May 15th. Nocomplications (Thank you Jesus!) The nursing staff at INT are wonderful and the hospital is super clean! Praying for you and sending positive thoughts your way!!

Have you tried soups? This sounds gross and it looks gross but pea soup with unflavored unjury protein powder agrees with me. Mashed cottage cheese, Ricotta cheese, potted meat. I eat with a baby spoon so I don't take to big of a bite.

FIsh is about the only meat I can tolerate. Chicken and beef seem to just "sit" in my stomach for hours. I did boil an egg today and mashed it with ff mayo and was able to tolerate that. I am 4 weeks post-op.

Google vaginal rejuvenation. I have a co- worker whose va jay jay was 9cm thats large considering when a woman experiences child birth she is dilated fully at 10 cm. Anyway she had a rejuvenation and the surgeon made her va jay jay almost virginal size.

I had my surgery on Tues. May 15th and returned to work the following Monday. I am a Hospice Nurse. I was just tired in the late afternoon, and I notice I go to bed a little earlier then prior to my surgery.

Wow! What an amazing transformation! You look beautiful! Congrats!

How do you puree meats? Add water or mik before processing in food processor?

Thanks, Mina! Will go get some Isopure!

I didn't say orange juice. I am on unsweetended apple juice. Even the sugar free juice, and chicken broth give me diarrhea. Th eonly thing that doesn't send me ot the bathroom is chamomille tea

I was sleeved May 15th. E Just about every single time I take broth or juice I have a loud gurgling in my stomach and explosive diarrhaea. (tmi, i know sorry). I am thinking if this is how life is going to be for me then maybe I shouldn't have done this... I hope in time this unpleasant side effect will go away.

Oh I just loooked I see you are in Texas, not far from me. I would be glad to talk to you on the phone or even meet you somewhere and show you my incisions etc. Inbox me and we can exchange phone numbers! I am getting ready to shower and head to work so it will be this afternoon before I check the board!

No, I just talked to Laurie last night, AND when I was in Tijuana she was talking to a prospective client on the phone and she quoted them the price I have listed above. Give her a call and leave a message. It might take her a day or so to return your call when she called to check on my progress last night she was still in Mexico and then was going to do something with her family for a couple of days ( i think thats what she said) Anyway she just said she would be out of pocket for a couple of days. Hope this helps!! Candi

Laurie is with weight loss trips to Mexico. Just google it and her web page should pop up. Her telephone numbers are listed as well. I think you will be very pleased with Dr. Ponce!
