Thanks! I was told Tylenol, but it sure doesn't work as well as a Goody's Powder. . Hopefully it will pass soon.

Yes, the headaches are the worst.

I agree. The diet stinks and I lived in the bathroom today. One day down and six to go.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Did anyone use either of these items after surgery? I want to have time to order them if they are necessary. Thanks!

Who was a band to sleeve revision patient? I am having this done in 11 days and would appreciate it if you would share your experiences.

Is there anyone else having surgery during this time frame? Trying to schedule a date and would like to be with others since I'm travelling by myself.

Is weight loss always slower for revision patients? I hadn't planned on that.

Hi Everyone! I've been reading one of the posts about complications and then went to the "complication" forum and of course that gets your mind racing. I am having the bad to sleeve revision surgery in about 14 days (I know my band is not eroded, because I just had all the rests last month at a hospital here in the states) but the stories are scary. Does anyone have a "complication" story to share with the rest of us??? Clots, leaks, etc.???? Thanks!

I will be by myself for surgery on the 25th.

Who was your surgeon?

I live in Florida too and I am having my surgery on July 25th with Dr. Illan in Mexico. So excited!

I'm with Dr. Illan on the 25th as well.

I will be flying in the 24th as well. Glad to know in wont be alone.

Will you please share your favorite flavor of Isopure and any relevant mixing ideas? Thanks!

I will be arriving at Florence (Dr. Illan) on the 24th for surgery on the 25th.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Diamond When is your daughter having her surgery? I have to schedule today.

Good luck on your journey!

It's possible that I may need to travel to Tijuana alone for my sleeve surgery. Should safety be a concern and do I need someone there after surgery to help me? Thanks!

Dr. Quinones. I don't know why it left off his name. Sorry.

For those in Mexico now, how's it going and who,is your doctor?

North_Chicky did you mean you are going in July or August, as your ticker says August, but your post says July? I'm looking at the 24th or 25th. Trying to figure out the best airfare now.

Still undecided, but I must do so by Monday. Can't really find anything bad about either one. The only two differences in the process that I've found, are 2 nights hotel with Dr. Illan vs. 3 nights hotel with Dr. Garcia (both have 2 night hospital stay), Hotel Lucerna for Dr. Illan (where they charge for the bariatric menu) and Marriott Tijuana for Dr. Garcia (meals are all included.) I do wish there was a few more people that could offer Dr. Illan testimonies, as I've only seen 2 or 3 people talk about him.

I'm new here and want to have revision surgery from band to sleeve at the end of the month. I'm trying to decide between Dr. Garcia and Dr. Illan. Would anyone be willing to share their thoughts about th, as well as your results so far? Thank you.
