I had the same problem with the sticky tape they use. I had on a red shirt so the stickiness turned red, ugh. I was able to get it off when I got back home though after a little elbow grease. Tummy was sore so I could only do so much at a time. If your staying at the Hyatt in Tijuana, there is a 24 hour grocery store less then a block away and some of the girls found a Walmart about 3 blocks away in case u do need something. They accept American money also.

I am 15 days post op vsg. According to schedule I am to be eating soft, pureed food. I have been trying to keep food down. Within a short time, I throw up until it is out of my system. First I tried 4 oz of cottage cheese, then 4 oz of salmon (pureed), tonight I tried 2 oz of chicken, it went down ok then within a short time, I was throwing up the chicken also. I am eating slow, I don't mix liquids with the food. Is something wrong with my stomach or anyone else experience this? I can drink shakes and Water, Jello, popcicles but would like to eat real food sometime soon. Anyone give me suggestions what could be wrong or maybe its still healing??? Considering going to see dr if it doesn't resolve soon.

I did email my surgeons office in Mexico about a week ago. Havent heard anything from them except sorry to hear that. I will be in contact with them again as the surgeon has yet to contact me. I cant believe that this hernia was not present during my sleeve surgery on the 11th. All I know is that this extra surgery has caused me nothing but problems. Had to be fed through iv because I hadn't been able to keep anything down for the 5 days prior to going to emergency room. I gained like 10 lbs being fed through iv. Hoping it is all Water weight and getting back on track again. Thank you all for the words of encouragement.

I just found out my vomiting was not caused by my new stomach not ready for foods. Its because I had a large hiatal hernia in my esophagus , which caused my stomach to rise up 2 inches into the diaphragm. Anything I was eating or drinking would come back up. Now 5 days later and after spending 8 hours in emergency room and the rest of the time in the hospital after having immediate hernia surgery, I can keep down foods and everything is still painful but it works again. This is my second surgery in the stomach area within the month of March. I am so ready to be pain free and get on with the weightloss.

Thank you for the suggestions. I was trying to follow the surgeons diet plan. It calls for 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of food (i.e. eggs, chicken, etc) for 3 meals a day plus Snacks. So I thought something was really wrong as I was only trying to get in one meal of 2 oz. But I will definitely put off "real" food for a little longer.

I am15 days out and supposed to start puree food, cottage cheese, etc etc. I cant seem to keep anything down within an hour any real food comes back up again. I can drink the shakes and Water, popcicles, etc etc. But any real food, doesn't wanna stay down. Is my stomach not ready for real food yet or should I go have it checked out?? I was sleeved in Mexico so would have to go see my doctor or got to urgent care. I do eat slow and don't mix the liquids with the food, just worried something is wrong. Anyone have any suggestions??

My insurance wouldn't cover me at all. So I took came up with $ 4,300 and had the surgery in Mexico on 3/11/16. I needed a drastic change in my life and wasn't going to wait around insurance to cover me. Recovery hasn't been too bad, lots of liquids and Protein shakes so far. Looking forward to solid food but I know to wait until my stomach is ready to handle it. I started at 200, lost 7 on the pre op diet, just weighed myself and I am 182 :D . Oh my gosh it is working, cant wait to I get to my goal weight. If you can afford it, go to Mexico for surgery. I was treated very well.

Congratz, I have mine scheduled for 3/11/2016 in Mexico. Need to tell us how it goes. Good luck
