Sleeved Yesterday In Mexico Dr. Sergio Quinones

[readyset2go 16]

I was sleeved yesterday. I am doing really good according to the doctor. I have a drain, no pain, slight discomfort in my stomach but overall not bad!

Thanks to this sight I was well prepared. I followed the pre op instructions completely. I was dreaming about being chased by a milkshake and fries jumping over the moon... Lol the temptation did not win. I'm in Tijuana and all is well.

The staff is nice. The facility clean and the doctors are always checking in on you.

Well off to get more rest. I will report back later.

Day 3.

I still have not had any significant pain. When the doctor came in last night he gave me some ice to suck on to prevent cotton mouth.

I should be released today. They are putting us up in a hotel in Tijuana until tomorrow. I chose to stay an extra day in San Diego. I just wanted to make sure all was well before my flight back to North Carolina.

As you might have guessed there is wifi here and I am able to be in contact with everyone.

So far so good.

Good to hear your surgery went well. Keep us posted on your recovery.

I was just discharged. The doctor is awesome. He came in answered all my questions. We walked through the food and excercise plan. He gave me antibiotics, pain killers, and merderma for the scares. I drank the dye to ensure no leaks. Then a nice glass of apple juice. After three days of nothing, this was the best juice ever. I am very pleased. Knock on wood I have not had any pain. The doctor suggested that I take Maalox or milanta liquid before meals to coat my stomach during the first four weeks.

I'm excited to begin my new journey. My patient coordinator is taking us to a hotel here in Tijuana so that we are close in the event I need to see the Dr. After the checks, I think I will be just fine. I'm looking forward to becoming a loser.

Day 4

A full day on my own with the liquid diet. I've learned that the best way to get my Water is by eating crushed ice. I still fill great. I walked 30 minutes on the San Diego harbor. I spent a few extra days before flying back home. I wanted to make sure I was ok before flying.

My only issue is the excess gas but that is normal. I took my medicines with no problems. All-in-all today was a good day.

Day 5

On my way back home. I am still doing really good. No issues. I feel very lucky compared to a lot of postings where people are very sick. I am looking forward to my afternoon walks with my dog until I can get in the pool each day.

Now to tackle the Atlanta Airport... lol. Oh well, it's a new day! I'm gonna give it my best.

Hi Hun, congratulations on your sucessfull surgery wishing you many more accomplishments throughout your journey... I wanted to ask you one question, what exercise plan did your doctor go over?

[readyset2go 16]

Hello,

The doctor suggested that I walk 30 mins each day for the first two weeks. Once my scares heal, I can then swim because that is what I like to do best. He told me that in week 4 I could add in some weights to tone and then get on a regular workout schedule.

My plan is after week 4 to begin the body for life workout schedule and swim. I did it before and the workouts are easy and can be accomplished while I travel and at home. They target specific body parts each day as well as ensure that we get in the cardio.

The body for life workout plan is online and free.
