I used Dr. Garcia in Tijuana and it was a great experience. Pre-surgery weight was 352. I lost 22lbs during my pre-op diet. I'm down to 310lbs eleven days post-op. So far it has been a great experience. I had no gas pain, very little surgical pain and my mind isn't messing with me yet. This seems to be a great community of sharing ideas and seeking support.

I had my surgery yesterday, August 3 with Jose Rodregous in Mexico. I was up all night with gas pain and it hurts very badly. I have a hArd Tim lying down because the pain starts up. I have been walking with my IV in the room and hallway. GasX only helps temporarily. I still haven't met my doctor but did meet his partner. So far all is good except the gas.

Hang in there. My wife has severe gas pain with each surgery. She has to endure it until it finally dissipates. Walking is about the only thing that will help with it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
