NEED A TRAVEL BUDDY FOR MY GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY????



Recommended Posts

@@belindadcns Hi☺ I am planning on going with Dr Fernando Garcia Govea in Tijuana Mexico. How much is Dr , Altamarino charging for the surgery and how many days would I be in the hospital and the hotel? When do you plan on going? I want to try and have it done before the year ends. I want to go into 2016 feeling good and looking better then I do now.

Ok☺ I'm from Louisiana. I just checked out the deals here on Bariatrics pal website. If they find a hernia they'll repair it for free! That's a plus! I wonder how much they would charge to remove the gallbladder @@belindadcns?

I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico alone this summer to get my surgery. I am from canada so it was a longer trip. My bf and sister both offered to come with me but I figured I'd rather go to mexico with them on holiday rather than for surgery. That way we can enjoy it together. I am hoping to return there after Christmas.

When my bf left me at airport security, I was scared. I almost turned back. It seemed like a crazy idea to be flying to mexico to get my stomach cut out. But that was literally the only time I was scared. After that, it was all excitement!! I couldn't believe I was so lucky as to have this new gift and was hopeful and excited for the future. So happy!

If you can't find a travel buddy, please try not to worry. You can do this!!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
