New Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery Patient-Day 4



Recommended Posts

I had gastric plication done by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana on Feb.3. I am having minimal pain at this point. Drinking/eating broth is difficult. It hurts-like heartburn-after every swallow. I am feeling better every day.I am posting my experiences because plication is relatively new. I have lost 4 pounds so far.

I am going to do drinkable yogurt tomorrow. I am going to work a half a day tomorrow to see how it goes.I am feeling pretty good. Are you feeling hunger yet? I am still taking the Inhibitron capsules he prescribed for acidity every day. How long did you take the nausea medicine Pemix? I am still taking it but nausea hasn't been a problem for me at all after day 1.

I found in the first few days post-op that I could drink maybe one cup a day. Had to take tiny sips and wait at least two minutes between sips as there was a lot of rumbling going on inside. Luckily I was on an IV so I could keep hydrated that way. By day 6, I found I could drink about 1L a day and didn't need an IV.

It's now one week post-op and I am drinking fluids of about 2L a day. No pain. I've also stopped drinking at least 30 mins before lying down as otherwise that sometimes triggers nausea.

I take Nexium in the morning, Maxalon morning and night, and if the nausea is really, really bad, I'll take Zofran (but man that Z isn't cheap!!)

Lost 8kg so far :D

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
