    Oral thrush

    I had this yellowish stuff on my tongue for about 2 months after surgery. It didn't matter how many times I brushed it I would still get it and finally one day it just went away. It did make my taste buds change tho I cannot drink diet drinks or sugar it makes me sick. The doctor said it was the ketosis.

    How have your taste buds changed?

    I had several changes I am 6 weeks post op, first I get this yellow stain on my tongue the doc said it will go away. I have become more sensitive to sweets and salty foods. I don't really use either of them now. Oh and I cannot tolerate spice food anymore. Will see if they change in the future.

    Recovery

    Hi I had revision from band to sleeve on 7/26 and my own experience my recovery has been much slower than when I got the band. I stayed in the hospital 2 days and I planned to take 1 week off work and actually had to take 2. The area were my port was hurt for a couple of days. My body is taking a little longer to recover. But I'm thinking since I had troubles with my band and was not able to eat for about 3 weeks before surgery my body was already weak. Everyone is different. Good Luck and hope u have a speedy recovery.
  4. Today is my 9th day out and I feel great. My surgery went well. Everything was so fast. Today I started to get my energy back I'm not drinking pain meds my incisions are almost completely closed except for the one the had the drain it still hurts a little. But other than that I feel I made a good choice for my self to get the surgery done in Mexico. You can email me if u have more questions or concerns. Do your research and be informed before you go. maldonado46435@yahoo.com
  5. I had surgery in Tijuana Mexico last week once u contact ur agents everything is planned and scheduled you will never be alone plus u will make new friends that come from all over. I never told anyone I was going to get surgery for the same reason I didn't want negative feed back. Don't worry it's safe. Good luck

    Problems finding port?

    Yes I had difficulty on my first one and had the fill standing up. The nurse had to use a longer needle. Good luck

    Fill or No Fill if you had NSV?

    Yes agree with the comments above sometimes you loose inches and not lbs.
  16. maldonado46435
