It has been about what I thought, The facilities, are small bur clean and adequate. I have noticed that they will allow u to not take pain meds if u choose, My advice is to stay on top of the Meds. I ask for mine on schedule and have been ok. The day after surgery was hard but today I have been feeling great. Ready to head home tomorrow. All in all. I am very pleased about my decision. The care has been good, the staff helpful, the comradire among the other patients encouraging. If someone is expecting an American hostpital, and facilities, they will be disappointed maybe scared, lol but that is more because of cultural expectations that care or ability. Or even equipment. I gave not regretted tge surgery or my choice of location. But I have a very adventurous spirit, and a thunk outside the box approach.

Oh and my barium swallow was good no leaks!!! :)

I get my drain out in the morning and then head home. Woot!

Awesome! I'm so glad you're doing well and are almost ready to head home.

Agreed, it's easier to stay on top of the pain with pain meds on time rather than to wait until it starts hurting.

YAY! now you have to tell me if it was painful or totally icky to get that thing pulled out this morning. ugh, makes me gag thinking about feeling it come out. Not sure how I'll handle it, maybe I'll just pass the hell out and save myself the trauma of it all LOL

I'm so glad you're doing wonderfully well and are back!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
