This thread has me Rollin! (As I sit here sippin Gatorade at the mariott 3 days post with dr. Garcia)

I appreciate the op's view. Mine, like I said wasn't exactly the same, but everyone deserves to hear negatives. I also want to say that I think I know who the op is, but anyway.....

About being naked- yep, we were. They ungown you after you pass out, and cover your chest. I don't know about legs. I asked the dr. This after reading this thread and it was confirmed. However. I don't give 2 craps either. And my HISBAND doesn't see me naked so that says something I was asleep and I was gowned when I woke up. Fine with me.

I find it funny (yet off topic) that Laura ven strikes a pose in the middle of her brawl. Laura, you're a rock star.

Palekania- me too w the blood. None of my sleeve sisters had that, but I sure did, directly after in the recovery room. And I'm white.

First of all. Why would you go to a third world county to get such a serious surgery done. Your lucky you made it out alive. I'm surprise you didn't get an infection. I would have ran out of there.

You should run out of here....

.......wait for it......

Did anyone wear undies? Lol I'll seriously feel ok as long as I have chonies on :)

Girl...NO. I even had my chonies on and was going to play "language barrier" but she wasn't having any of it. (The nurse) in her perfect grammar: "you must take everything off. Even your undergarments."

My husband couldn't quit laughing.

I literally repeated "everything?" 7 times.

Pretty scary. I live in the DR and after much research and refrences I decided to get sleeved here. Mind you, this was not a decision I made to save money. It is cheaper to get sleeved here than in the US but I did it with the best doctor in the country. I have absolutely no complaints and I am SUPER fussy. If anyone wants any info on my expirience, msg me and I will be glad to share.

Am I the only one happy they had a no underwear rule? :) I absolutely didn't want to wear a pad, I wanted to wear a tampon... and I had heard that some surgeons forced you to wear a pad. Eww. Much rather be naked than be forced to wear a pad :)

      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.
