sweetnsassy39 2 Posted November 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

julielle 199 Posted November 11, 2012 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.
