getting sleeved on 11/4.. how did your hometown dr. react to you getting sleeved in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved on 11/4, and I have been reading a lot about people who have been suffering from vomiting amd diarreah since being sleeved.. sometimes for weeks or even months.

Anyone been experiencing this? If so, what do your hometown dr.s think of you being sleeved in Mexico?

i'm going under on 4th Nov too

my Dr here in Australia really wanted me to have the sleeve - but was much cooler on the idea of getting it in Mexico

he was , however, amazed by the price difference

yes - i see the posts about slow recoveries and adverse effects like this

but i just hope that being careful with my pre and post op diet will see me dealt an easier hand...

Go well, Jolly

I have had some mild diarrhea, but nothing really drastic or bothersome. I have attributed it to eating so much liquidy stuff and possibly to artificial sweeteners. I have not experienced any vomiting.

My doctor was supportive when I told her. She just said she wanted to get my blood pressure under control before I had surgery. So far, every medical professional I have spoken to since surgery has been supportive. When I mention that I had it done in Mexico, they ask questions, but nobody has been negative. I'm glad.

Mine was super negative about the surgery and Mexico.

I will be changing doctors but I'm going to wait Til post op so at least we can bypass the negativity about Mexico.

My Dr was so supportive. He is pretty young so I thought he was going to be against it. He sent me for blood work the day after I got back into town and I go again for blood work at te end of Nov. Not at all what I expected. Good luck o you.

      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?

      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.
