I had a 36 size bougie. My surgeon said the risk of leaks and complications goes down with higher bougie sizes.

Scheduling w/ a Medical Tourism group VS. directly with hospital/doctor
KittyinCali replied to chazaplachta's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
You get better customer service and they help with transportation and where you stay. They have a primary job of taking care of the patient and giving you a good experience! -
Has anyone had issue with circulation since surgery? Even crossing my legs or sitting on the toilet for under a minute my legs get all tingly like my circulation has been cut off? It was definitely not like that before.

Post op dull pain, is this normal?

I find myself holding my left side and people are going to start thinking I'm pregnant because of how much I hold my belly. I still get pain driving too. -

Post op dull pain, is this normal?
KittyinCali replied to krystalgenie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going through the same pain in the same area. It feels like a dull pain that sometimes radiates to my back. My surgeon told me to give it more time for healing. He said 8-10 weeks is the full recovery time frame. Good luck to you. I know how you feel. Just take it easy. It takes at least two weeks before you really start feeling good. -

KittyinCali replied to jaczim's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I would check out Dr. Zavalza and Dr. Luna. They have a Facebook page support group and the Surgeon can skype you and answer any questions. I have had a great experience with them so far. My surgery is scheduled for 7/30. -
