A few hours post op!



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm approximately 5 hours Post Op in Tijuana. Dr. Venezuela was my surgeon with MexicoBariatricClinic.

I'm feeling pretty good. I've got some pain in my left shoulder area, which was to be expected. My throat is a little 'annoying' from the intubation, but definitely not intolerable. A LITTLE bit of Gas pains but not too bad. (I put in a Gas X strip as soon as I got back to my room). I've been up walking a few times already. Some of the meds make me a little nauseas if I move too fast but other than that, I'm great and could NOT be happier.

The care I have received here has been phenomenal! The entire process from my arrival in San Diego and meeting with my driver to this point has been fantastic! I am SO very happy that I made this decision!

Congratulations for getting to the "other side"! How long do you need to stay in the hospital?

I'll be here tonight and tomorrow night, then one night in the hotel before flying back home!

Thank you for the welcome! I can't wait to be on the 'loser's bench'! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
