I was wondering when and where do Dr. Gracias patients get their drains removed. Also once at hotel does a dr. Check on you or who is there for his patients in case you need more meds. Basically what's the after care like once you get to hotel. Just rest rest rest and walking????

The drain is removed the day u are discharged from the hospital. They will give you meds to take with you for pain, antibiotics, and acid reflux. The day before you are scheduled to leave Tijuana. They will come to remove your staples. They will also give you instructions for how to care for your wounds. There isn't anyone at the hotel with you as far as medical goes. But it's really not needed. I personally felt great and did lots of walking. If you do need some sort of help or advice you can have the hotel call them at the hospital for you.

Neither of them hurts while being removed. The drain feels very weird but doesn't hurt. I honestly only had pain the day of surgery and the day after. Every other day since has been getting better and better. My pain was only during the time I had the drain.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
