I would really like to keep in touch and encourage each other – it’s really great that we’re both in the same city. – text me 702.539.5397

My dr takes care of all that. I sent the paperwork, he signs it and scans it back. Dr. Illan and Omar are very customer service oriented. That is an understatement actually.


Hi
Are you getting nervous! I am so very nervous.

I am getting nervous. I start pre-op diet Monday. It seems everyone will be at the Marriott. I will be at Hotel Lucerna. Elanasal perhaps we can keep in touch and encourage one another...

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

April 17th Dr. Elias Ortiz in Tijuana. Arriving on the 16th and staying at the Marriott. (I haven't been too freaked out about this but as the date gets closer...I think I may be getting anxious, nervous, excited...)

Hi Kate2014,

I sure hope to run into all the surgery patients at Marriott while there.... I guess we will be the ones running around with drains attached to us :)

Are flinstone vits approved??? That would make things easier ....

I'm going with Premier Protein for convenience,

But may look into others if they are available for me and recommended..... So far the highest recommended all have to be ordered online.

Good luck to us all with liquids.... They say the hunger can be really hard to take :(

I will not be at the Marriott. I am staying at Lucerna Hotel but maybe I will see people while site seeing :) My favorite Protein Powder is body fortress at Walmart. No Protein aftertaste or smell.

Rhoste,

I tried a new Protein today that was tasty....body fortress, strawberry flavored. It should be available at your local Walmart. I mixed one scoop with 5 ounces of Water. A single scoop has 30 grams of protein, so it doesn't take long to drink. As for Flintstones, I honestly didn't ask if they were okay. I did just order some sublingual Calcium and B12 from walmart online. Don't know how they will taste though.

My surgery is scheduled for the 11th. Starting liquids tomorrow! My mom was going to go with me, but my sister just received a horrible diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer and she's going to be with my sister through surgery and chemo. My sister encouraged me to still have the surgery, and I'm going to. I'm awfully scared to be doing it alone now. Hope I can meet a few of you and find some camaraderie. Viva Mexico!

      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!
