Anyone Having Surgery Next Week In Tj?



Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone is having surgery the week of November 5-9 in TJ. I was supposed to have surgery today but had to reschedule for next Thursday the 8th

I am here now. Me and my best friend flew in from Louisiana to San Diego and are now in TJ we are having surgery in less than 3hrs. Very excited to be here excellent care and amazing doctors who have also had the surgery. This makes me feel more at ease. So excited to start this new journey with my best friend and use TJ Dr. Garcia as my doctor.

Don't be nervous. It's one of the easiest things you'll ever do :-) Yep, you'll be sore but it will all be worth it! I am day 3 post surgery and am feeling pretty good. You'll be fine.

Oh no! Have you been drinking a lot of sugar free stuff? That'll give you wicked diarrhea! Other than that I hope you feel better. Go to the shop in the airport and buy some Imodium. That'll help. Good luck with that!

I looked online and immodium was on the safe list so I took some last night before bed and so far no more problems, although I'm very gurgly in the tummy. I'll probably take some more tomorrow before the flight just to be SAFE. I am kind of in the "screw it" mode right now and I'm wearing yoga pants with a white paint stain on the butt. Comfort over fashion! :) Oh and no sugar free stuff, believe me I know those sugar alcohols wreck havoc :) i've only had some broth, tea and unsweetened apple juice since surgery (and some Water - oh and gatorade but the issues happened before I took a sip of gatorade) Plus some kind of Maalox type thing to coat my healing stomach.

      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.
