Mexico drs = NO diet pre op?



Recommended Posts

Did he say a MINIMUM of 2 adult drinks (as in he wanted you to get drunk?) or a maximum? Hah <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Oops. Maximum of two drinks.< /p>

Down to 2 surgeons dr Ortiz at OCC or dr Pompa at limarp...help!!!

There is a lady here who had surgery the day after me. She was getting her sleeve re-sleeved. The 1st sleeve was a botched sleeve. She went with Dr. Pompa the first time and Dr. Aceves was fixing it. She told me once she starting call Dr. Pompa's group with her issues they stopped responding.

Thanks for the informative answer! I knew the diet was for shrinking but here in nz he wanted a 3 week Optifast one?!

That's what they do here in Canada (or Quebec, not sure if it's just our province). Supposedly it's quite disgusting, I'm glad I didn't have to do that :)

Re: Clear liquids as opposed to, let's say hot chocolate, which is a "full" liquid.

Clear Liquids pretty much pass right through your stomach. Full liquids require digestion and stuff sits in your stomach longer. They are just trying to give your gut a rest before surgery.

BTW, we eat more buffalo/bison than beef and it's yummy!

Oh my word!!! I couldnt imaging paying for this TWICE and having surgery TWICE! Poor thing. This makes me sad for her. How horrible. I hope she shares her story.

I have also read on obesity help of a few people that went to Dr. Pompa and didn't end up with a sleeve, but a strange looking thing. I wouldn't take my chances. Also, when I contacted them to get a price quote on the sleeve, they quoted me $1,000 more than what they quoted my friend, who had called only one day before. In my opinion, not good business. I did write to them and told them how I felt about that and they offered me the same price as my friend. They said it was because they were running a special, and it ended the day before or something.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
