Haha normally people reply so fast on here.... It looks like its just me and you on the 15th. My surgeon is Dr. F. Garcia. I've heard that MI Doctor isn't a very big hospital though, so we'll probably bump into each other walking the halls over and over. My grandmother is going with me, so I'm sure you'll see her around as well. She was sleeved here in the states in September and has now lost 65lbs.

Thank you so much!

How has your recovery been? What was your experience like there and with those particular docs?

I am traveling alone and a little anxious. Especially since I've NEVER been outside of the US.

Do you think it would be too difficult to return to work a week post-op for an office based job?

I can't get a lot of time off right now...

Yes, I am planning to come in on the 14th. So we might run into each other. How has your experience been? What surgeons performed your procedure? How long did you stay in hospital?

I was also wondering about how soon to go back to work? Any suggestions ...

Mine was is great so far just the usual gas pain so make sure to walk even if u don't want to, I had dr Ortiz do my sleeve he has been great has been coming by every day to check on me, I have been here 2 days, 2day I go back to the Marriott for another 2 days

Oh a little hint on top of the safe in the hospital they have a sheet sheet with sentences such as " I need more pain meds or I need a blanket that go from English to Spanish just in case you need a bit if help getting ur point across but all the nurses on the 3rd floor seem to speak great English

      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.
