Picking my doctor...Viva la Mexico
christina@MIA replied to tamboo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello jaytxmomma, I had my surgery with Dr. Almanza 8/18. I went alone and everything was fine. The clinic picks you up from the airport and brings you to the clinic. After surgery the driver takes you to the guest house. If you want to go shopping the driver goes with you. You are safe! If you have any questions PM me. Best wishes. -
Sternum is much better! Im going to try the shakes you told me about. Everyday gets better, you can count on that! The warm liquids feel good on the tummy so bring some broth cubes with you. I wouldnt eat the broth they have because they leave it on the stove for days. Its just different in MX. BTW I like your pic.

Hi, Ok today is my two week mark. I feel much better and not as weak. The first week was hell. Every time I drank water or ate jello it hurt in my sternum area. warm stuff feels much better. I have head hunger =( I really want pizza. Thanks for the Doc info. Im going to check into him. Even though Im not have any problems. I still want a check up. Are you going alone? Keep me posted.

I also had a low grade fever on days 4 and 5. I took my childrens liquid Motrin and everything was fine. Day 9 I felt very weak and faint so I had some very milked down cream of wheat. Liquid was not enough for me. I was told if you have leak you will buckle over in pain and the fever would be higher. -
Carrie, I undersand how you feel I am only 13 days post op and still have bouts of depression. The first week I would cry for no reason at all. They call it Post Surgery Depression. Its caused from the Anesthesia. The second week has been better. Now I just get a little depressed because everyone around me is eating yummy food and I just watch. I cant promise it will be better because I not at that happy point yet. I am just greatful I can go to these post and find people who understand me. I hope you feel better soon.

I've been taking my pills whole since 4 days out. I feel no pain and haven't had any problems from taking them whole. If it is large break it in half. But everyone is different.

As long as you add things like cream of wheat ( very thin) to your diet you should be ok for work. By last friday I was so weak just from having liquids. I was faint. But now that I stopped just liquids I havent lost anymore weight. The plane was a little cramped so try to book you seat on an exit row.

Hi Carrie, Thank you for all the nice comments on my Pics. My son just finished having a temper tantrum in that pic. He didn't get the toy he wanted...lol

Well Im drinking about 2 bottles of 16oz water and 1 8oz gator aide a day. No protein drinks
The shakes are nasty. I feel better but I still take naps. Are you excited? Just a few more weeks. -
Im feeling good. Getting more fluids in, but not protein drinks
I have to find something that is not the nasty shakes. -

Yay - You have A date. I also went alone. I didn't want to feel like I had to keep my husband company while I wasn't feeling well. The flight was ok, a bit cramped. I returned on the 4th day post op. Best wishes on the pre-op diet. It sound like you are already doing good. -
Your baby is so cute....I can see why you wanted to get home to them. How are you feeling?
