I quit smoking yesterday, as dr. garcia said I needed to 2 weeks before surgery. quitting has actually made me feel more capable of following through with the rest of the "rules" I will need to follow through on after surgery.. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Who was your Mexico Surgeon?

Dr. Garcia. He was great! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
My wife and i are both 7 weeks out. She has had a hard time getting food or drinks in in general. However shes been really sick since saturday. Shes had bad diarrhea and saturday we had to take her to the ER. She had extremely low potassium due to the diarrhea. She is still having diarrhea and nausea every day. I am worried. The ER said the diarrhea was most likely from a virus, but she has no other symptoms. We got our syrgery in mexico so we have no follow up care. Has anyone had this experience before or any ideas??

Yeah it's painful and uncomfortable to drink for a few days... feels weird like in your chest. I don't think I had a BM for maybe 5 days or a week... I'm not totally sure but they are very few! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

If your therapist thought cognitive behavioral therapy could "cure" fibromyalgia then it's because they thought it was in your head. There's no therapist that thinks doing CBT will cure a physical problem. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App My CBT believes that ANYONE can be cured of chronic illness through subconscious and conscious behavioural therapy. So now you purport to know what my NHS CBT therapist thinks. Hilarious! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Get a new therapist, asap. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -

Ridiculous. My child's OPINION on my situation pre op, does not make it fact! Nor does it change this actual topic. You can't "help" me like a sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Okay, this is going to be my last post directed towards you specifically. You somehow managed to miss the entire point even though I put it in bold. The point is that now that you're post op you're blaming your weight gain on your situation and specifically saying that you didn't have a problem with food and the entire thing wasn't your fault. When you were pre op, however, you blamed an addiction towards food and said that you couldn't stop overeating. You can't have it both ways, that was the point. It had nothing to do with your daughter. Sounds like you change your story depending on what suits you best. Once again, best of luck. Refer to other responses for yet more scintillating details of my life history. I am thrilled that you are so interested in trying to call me out, investigate me, insulting me etc rather than stick to the topic. Some people, including people here who message me, just don't like the sleeve. Stop deflecting. Stop trying to change the topic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THE TOPIC! SHE ONLY WANTS TO COMPLAIN AND MAKE EXCUSES! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Anyone have or going to have surgery with Tijuana Bariatrics/Dr Garcia?
GSleeve822 replied to speechiegirl's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
It's fairly simple. For me, it was a 10 day diet. Only Protein shakes during the day and a salad with protein at night with low calorie dressing. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -

I had Dr Garcia this last March.. I had a really good experience. I live in San Diego so they just picked me up from my house.. most people I met were flying back home after. One girl told me that Dr Garcia told her to get up and walk on the plane when she was able to... I'm sure the flight home will absolutely be awful because you will feel sore and out of it, but it's doable and not the worst thing in the world! I didn't have any issues with the hospital or hotel.. my only thing was the nurses didn't speak the best English, so even tho they took care of you very well, there is a language barrier when you want to explain how you're feeling or ask a question. Luckily there are others there, like coordinators that can help.. good luck and let us know how it goes!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
