Hola from TJ 3 days post op with Dr Kelly pics



Recommended Posts

3 days post op with Dr Kelly and super happy! I was always wanting pictures so here are some. I'll get some of incisions etc later. I want to keep updated with my changing shape too.

I love Dr Kelly and Florence/Oasis! God has blessed me!

Maybe you can't see them because I linked them from my iPhone? Calling all tech people lol.

 

I'll be honest, when I first woke up the nausea was overwhelming. I didn't even ask for pain medicine until the next day, just lots of Zofran.

 

I can't believe how well I feel 3 days after surgery. Day 1 was like what have I done. Day 2 was like hey it's not so bad and day 3 I'm wanting to fly home to my kiddos. I'm certainly enjoying the hotel though!

 

Wait, technically it's only been 48 hours....I came out Monday about this time :)

Thank you! It's freakin comfy too :D

 

Here is your support person's bed. It's actually quite big and the drawers are filled with blankets and pillows. The rooms are big.

This is the marble lobby. The cafeteria view actually. The hospital reminds me of a tropical 3 star married a small time hospital :D

And this is my mom eating shrimp tacos at the Lucerna while I enjoyed the homemade broth. It is definitely homemade. I feel free from food prison, it really didn't bother me! null_zpsa84d8e37.jpg

Does this work?

 

I love Maxi-dresses. They're cute, comfy, and forgiving.

Thank you! I just want people to not be afraid regardless of what experienced surgeon you use. I was very, very afraid of everything from the flight, anesthesia, hospital, surgery, hotel, Tijuana.....you name it I was scared!

 

I want to sing from the mountain tops!! :D I want to help others.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
