Sounds like you might need to try a different med. I use prilosec. Over the counter. Walmart brand. -

Abdominal ultrasound scared!
mcwestfam replied to yologirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is probably nothing, as usually they take a lot of pics. But never assume no news is good news. Make sure you get the results. Too many times people fall thru the cracks because the assume if something is wrong their doc would call. I don't think it's something to worry about, but just make sure you get your results. Best wishes -
Today i found out that i streched my pouch
mcwestfam replied to LadiWobs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stomachs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are short, some are long. If you have a long stomach, the banana portion left will be longer and hold more than someone with a short stomach and short sleeve. That may explain some of the differences in how much you can hold. -
You are awesome!!! Such an inspiration!!! Wow!!

No need to exchange. Everyone I encountered accepted American money. Even in the restraunts and stores. I used my credit card too with no problems. I agree about small denomination bills. You don't want to get stuck with a bunch of pesos as change. Good luck and best wishes on your journey!!

Preparing for possible "yucky stuff" after surgery
mcwestfam replied to scsleever's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Best wishes on your journey!! One thing you may want to bring with you is a heating pad!!! It was a life saver for me. Really helped with the gas pains. As far as nausea and pain... They will give you medicine in the hospital to take care of that. They gave me reglan and toradol in my IV and a pain shot when it got bad. They also gave me toradol to come with. -
Dumping syndrome pre surgery
mcwestfam replied to Unbesleevable's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had it before and still have it now. I'm pretty use to it. The good news is I have never suffered from the constipation some post sleevers do, because of it. -

mcwestfam replied to mwayland's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. It's like the mio squeezables. You just add however much you want to your bottle of water. -

Really?! Iggy is a Debbie downer for standing up for the Op?! No way. I didn't read anything in her posts that wasn't trying to be helpful!!! -
A little bit of achey back pain is normal. But one thing you have to worry about with a high protein diet is kidney stones. So if it is severe or stabbing pain, you may need to call your doctor.

anyone have implants BEFORE getting sleeve?
mcwestfam replied to PeacockMama's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I have lost almost 60 pounds and they have shrunk some but haven't sagged much. I am hoping they will be about the same as before I gained all the extra weight. If not, I will get a revision. Good luck to you!! -
seven weeks out starting to throw up!
mcwestfam replied to jsunflower2001's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you measuring out your food to make sure you don't over eat? Right now it's still hard for your tiny tummy to let you know you are full and one bite to many can push you over the edge. Like others have said... Chew well, and eat slowly. And also measure out just enough for me at 7 weeks. I could only do 2 ounces at a time. Best wishes!!! -
Watch the fat content too. I tried to stick to the lower fat canned meats. Chicken, tuna, and salmon. Good luck!!
