I felt so good after surgery! No vomiting at all!! It started about a month after surgery. I contacted the coordinator tonight and let her know I will be faxing over my test results so he can look at them... I have been in contact with him off and on for about a month he was concerned about a stricture and requested I get a barium swallow so I insisted I get it when I saw my doc at home... I don't really think he is delaying things just with our health care system any tests take awhile to get in for. Not only have I been having the problem of vomiting but bowel issues as well which has made it very hard to work but I am managing... The worst is prob my energy level I find in the morning I can barely shower I am so drained.... I also find I can't eat or drink much before noon or it's just about a sure thing I will be sick.

Oh! And I'm lactose intolerant now as well... Again yay! Lol

I had surgery August 14th,.. I have had a Barium swallow which showed a narrowing my doc wants to discuss it with me Monday... I am not so thrilled about a camera being put down my throat I honestly avoid eating as I dread being sick. I am consuming very little and exhausted ALL the time!

Some days I wonder if I made the right decision!! I feel like I'm sick all the time! I was sleeved 9 weeks ago and recently am throwing up all the time! I am too scared to move beyond soft food and feel like its impossible to get in all the nutrition I need in a day... I am now lactose intolerant and many other food gives me "tummy troubles" I am down 54 pounds which makes me so happy but some days I wonder if this will be what life is like forever!

My mom had a BMI of 35 and had surgery

Both my mom and I went to Dr. Aceves and couldn't be happier... He was a little more expensive but I wanted the best and to feel completely comfortable and safe! The hospital is very clean and the nurses are great however some of them don't speak a lot of English however they know sounds of pain and are quick to give you something .... Fear set in ten fold when I landed in San Diego but I just kept telling myself that everything will be all worth it in the long run... Everything is done over the phone with Nina... She is great!! let me know if you have any more questions

I went to dr. Aceves and was very VERY impressed with both the hospital and team... U will not be disappointed if you decide on him as your surgeon... Let me know if you have anymore questions

Okay guys please give me some feedback at what I am doing wrong! I had surgery just over a month ago and do not regret it at all!! However I have been dealing with some tummy issues! I am now lactose intolerant which sucks big time so I am now staying away from dairy but am still getting sick to my stomach!! I get daily stomach pains and sorry for the info here but bad diarrhea... I have also thrown up twice from the stomach pain! I am still on soft foods, I eat slow and don't drink with my meals.... Has anyone else had these same problems and if so how did u deal with them??? Thanks for any insight

So I am starting to feel frustrated with this whole post op diet!!! Wednesday will be three weeks since surgery and I feel great incision wise and can't say enough good things about dr. Aceves and his team, they were wonderful!!! My frustration comes from now being lactose intolerant.... There's so few things I can eat and now everytime I drink milk my stomach kills!!! Starting to feel very frustrated, please tell me this gets better!! I know in the long run this will be all worth it but struggling to get through this stage!

Fived!!! Darn auto correct lol!

I was just sleeved yesterday by Dr. Aceves and a, feeling pretty darn good... A little more pain today but I have been pretty active... Dr. Aceves even high dived me lol... Any questions please ask!! It's not any easy decision to make and I was sooooo scared

I am from Alberta and looking into booking surgery in Mexico but will admit it scares me a little... ok A LOT! I have a friend who used Dr. Aceves so this naturally makes me feel better however he is double the price of Dr. Louisiana Valensuela! Please share stories if you have used either, good or bad I really appreciate it

Well I had my first surgery "nightmare" last night... lets hope it doesn't turn out anything like that!!

Thanks everyone!! I have booked with Dr. Aceves!! The date of my surgery is August 14th!! Its coming up so quick!

My surgery is booked for August 14th with Dr. Aceves... soooo nervous!!!

No I haven't!! I have only really tried Body by Vi and Usana... I hate the powder taste... has anyone tried the special K ones?? I am very excited for surgery yet am still experiencing moments of extreme fear lol!!

I start my pre-op diet in a few days!! Wish me luck (I HATE protein shakes!!!)

oh lol this isn't this the Mexico forum?
