I am one week out and have no pain, other than in the main incision. That one has been giving me a bit of a problem, but no infection, just pain.

I am so glad you guys posted on this. I was feeling very dehydrated the first day home after surgery, I went out and bought a bottle of coconut water in hopes that it would work, and wow I feel so much better and I sip on it all day. I try and drink regular water too, but its not as easy to drink as the coconut water... YAY for coconut!

Hi my surgery went well. I am home already!! Sure feels good! We walked across the boarder, it was such a huge line, a lady told us we could go to the front since I had just had surgery. So we walked all the way to the front, the boarder agent was a but mean got our birth certificates and license gave a few rude comments and let us thru. No trouble at all.

Hi Becca yesterday was super tought....i am not going to lie I regretted it all day, but today I am am re day feeling so much better. Get to have some ice chips to da y around 2 so looking foward to yhat. The surgery was not bad at all. The worst for me was my iv at first, and then the vomiting and nauseating feeling. But the mess take care of that. The drs warned me it would be the hardest few days of my life....but all worth it!!

Quick update. ... in my room feeling super sleepy and tired. Surgery went well Tha k god!

Thank you kikicoates88 will do!

TMI....but I just threw up as much as I could. That scared me that it may cause complications in my surgery. I hope everything goes ok

I have surgery tomorrow, day 5 of pre op diet today and on our way to the hotel I couldn't take the headache anymore....i had a taco!! I. Feeling so bad now too, but hoping the Dr won't cancel my surgery.....don't feel bad...it's really tough!!

Im have surgery tomorrow 11/5 in Mexico, I am going with only my birth certificate and DL. I don't have my passport....I am driving and crossing by foot so hopefully everything works out and I don't get stuck in mexico!

@@Becca R. Hi, Yes I am in California and were driving down tomorrow. We will be staying in San Diego, and walking over to TJ on Wednesday morning. I am thinking of catching a cab over to where I have to be, so we don't have to drive in crazy TJ! LOL Those drivers are nuts! I feel sort of lost, I scheduled my apt directly with Dr Ponce, so I have no idea what is going on, where I will go or how long. I just messaged him and asked for a the address where I have to report On Wednesday hoping he will give me some light! lol

Hi Becca, I am feeling a ton of mixed emotions....Should I do it, should I not, and a group of other worries, cause I'm a worry wort! I started my Pre-op diet on Halloween too, I'm going to be honest, I cheated...I had 3 (SMALL) pieces of candy....I am only human . My husband is so supportive of me and my decision to make a Better me! He has helped with all my frustrations and has been there for me to snap at! lol... Keeping my eye on the prize at this time and trying to jump through all these hurdles that I am coming across cause were procrastinators LOL.......Hoping I can reply to this chat on Thursday 11/6 and say everything went well!!!! Good luck on yours
