Anyone having surgery in November
jonajams replied to christo5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I tried going back to work but felt like passing out. I don't have reflux that I'm aware of but have been taking medication for it prescribed by my doctor. I've been having eggs, oatmeal, protein shakes and some purée. I think it's a mixture of stress from missing work and not eating as often as I should be. I saw the ER doctor last night and he thinks it's anxiety. I don't know what to think. I'm down 35 pounds since the 2nd but it's been a tough road. -
Anyone having surgery in November
jonajams replied to christo5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm really struggling :-( 21 days out and I feel terrible. Extremely tired. No energy. Throwing up. Drinking a lot but not feeling hydrated. I'm dizzy and have missed 3 days of work. What do I do? -

The drain was the worst part!!!! I'm just starting week 3. Not that different from 2. It's going good though and is totally doable. Wishing u luck :-) -
Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC
jonajams replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr Ortiz was wonderful!!! I had my surgery 1st thing in the morning which was a huge blessing. The nurses were hard to communicate with at times but I had 0 issues getting what I needed. I felt no pain during my stay only pain when the doctor removed the drain. The whole experience was fantastic. I'm 9 days out and feeling great. Hard to keep up on liquids but I'm doing great. I do agree about the ice tea at the Marriott. To die for. Good luck!!!! -

I'm six days post op and feeling icky. Spent 7 hours traveling home yesterday and the plane ride was horrible. Tried some yogurt and it hurt my stomach soooo bad. Haven't eaten anything for over a week. Going to try protein this morning and see if my stomach can handle it. -
attn people who are going and/or have been to mexico for surgery
jonajams replied to MindyLynn5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There is an app called Magic Jack. It's for free calling anywhere in the world. The person u are calling has to have the app too. It gives u a number when u sign up. Put your phone on airplane mode but turn in the wifi. I used it every day and it worked great. iMessage is free with iPhone too on wifi. The hospitals and hotel have free wifi. Haven't had any issues. There's an app called What'sApp too that's used for international texting that works great. The Mi Hospital in TJ has a free landline also where u can make calls home to the U.S. -

3 Days post op Stomach Growling
jonajams replied to nails211's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 days out and I'm hungry I think. My head hurts like I haven't eaten. Because I haven't. With preop liquids and post op liquids I will be like 8 days liquids only as I can't travel on the plane if I introduce protein to early. I'm looking forward to a shake big time. Never thought I'd actually want to drink a protein shake. It might also be head hunger because my stomach feels different and I'm Associating it with hunger. -

The shoulder pain was from the gas they put in to open everything up. I was not in any pain pain mostly just discomfort as it left my body. They took out my drain this morning and I feel amazing. Everyone was so wonderful and nice. We are getting ready to go sight seeing and to the pharmacy here in about an hour. Other than a slight headache (no caffeine) I feel so good. -

The protein phase was a snap. The 3 days liquid has been a killer though. I'm weak and sick to my stomach. Having trouble sleeping too. Won't be able to start proteins till I get home on the 7th. Ahhhh. So many days with no substance. I am scared -
