I answered on the other thread.

I don't think you're gonna give a hoot about your hair between the pain, nausea and sleepiness.

Thanks Amy. I'm sure u r right but now I'm freaked out about a tread I read. Have you seen any naked people laying around on tables? Do you have diarrhea? Sorry I'm just a little freaked out for the very 1st time in 3 months.

Rohler1520 I just got back Friday and I did see people in the other OR but no nakedness. I wouldn't bring a blow dryer. Light packing only!!! Don't be freaked out I read that thread too and in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad. I have diarrhea now, but honestly after surgery that usually is pretty rare, they give you barium the day after surgery that backs you up to be honest. Trust me don't be freaked! I had a better experience there then I did in some of the US hospitals I have been too. I'm extremely high strung and I got through it. I

Your right. I guess if the only thing that I have to worry about is somebody seeing me naked then that's the least of my worries. The waiting game happens here to. I have a friend that has just recently had two breast surgeries due to breast cancer and we waited seven and eight hours both surgeries. Not afraid of the diarrhea,I'm usually the opposite of that. I am going to ask Dr Garcia to keep me covered though. Lol

Trust me you will be fine. I saw no naked people. As far as blue urine, I had none of that. I did have some loose stools but remember liquid in liquid out, lol. Rosie called everyday, I only saw her twice but I wouldn't have wanted to see her any more than that, I felt to worn out for company! She called daily and heck that was only out of 3 days so that's pretty darn good if you ask me. No one is as efficient as Alma! She's the greatest!! I was well taken care of. I saw a dr each day I was at the hospital and Dr Luna was kind and gentle. As far as people seeing me naked I could care less, as rough as it was post op you damn sure wont care, lol. Don't be afraid they are more than capable and competent.

Yeah, don't freak out!! The other thread really sounded a lot like every surgery I've had in the US except I wasn't put up at a 5 star hotel afterwards! I was sent home to my screaming toddlers!! ;) I've seen other patients naked in US hospitals on accident and I know some have at least seen my big naked butt hanging out of those oh so unforgivingly average sized hospital gowns!!! Lol loose bowels sound way better than stopped up ones and post surgery, you'll have one or the other, I promise! ;) and blue in? Blue/green out! Lol

You're just panicking because you're finished with everything else on your list!!! Hahaha Work on that breathing thing we were talking about.

Take yourself out for a nice pedicure. You can have some nice cute toes to shove into those sexy $5000 socks they give you! :)

Oh I don't know. Maybe I spoke too soon! Lol I have never had it come up before. I've had pedicures before all of my surgeries (aside from usually having them fairly regularly, I always have one before surgery to calm my nerves) but I've never had surgery in Mexico or with Dr. Garcia before! So Dr. Garcia may prohibit it! Best to check beforehand! Every surgeon has different rules :)

If no polish, get the pedicure anyway, and just go no polish. It's still so relaxing and will really calm your nerves! :)

      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.
