It really is different. It's learning to do things all over again. I get scared that I'm gonna take too big of a drink n get sick.

Hi,

I am having surgery June 27, 2014 in Juarez with Dr. Rodriquez at the Angeles Hospital. I haven't read anything negative about them, however, one person stated the post op pain management wasn't good "d/t the pain meds in Mexico"

I am a nurse and am very familiar with US drugs, but not Mexico.

Can anyone weigh in on this topic ? Anyone out there used the above doc and hospital ? If so, what meds were

given to you the first 24-48 hours post op ? Thank you, I am getting nervous....

Yes sir, I just left there may 30 with same hospital and Dr. They give u dilated through IV and every time I asked they delivered. Put an app for translation on your phone cause no nurses speak English!

SingleMom33,

Thank you for sharing. Was it as nice as the YouTube video shows it to be ? One of the Doctors just emailed me and just talked about anti inflammatory meds like Ibuprofen, so it sounds like they have narcotics..... Good. Tell me more !!!!!!!!!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
