Getting sleeved Thursday!



Recommended Posts

So... It's all happening! I booked about 3 weeks ago, I'm going to TJ Mexico for Dr. Ramos Kelly. I'm excited but a little nervous. If anyone has any bits of advice or experience of surgery in Mexico, I'm sure I've already read them, but go ahead and share if you feel so inclined :)

I'm doing well by the way worked since Monday I'm 9 days post op everything went smoothly. Still having wavelike cramping pains come and go mostly when I eat. Dr. Kelly performed the surgery well and I had no issues with him or his team while I was in Mexico. His Facebook support group on the other hand he seems like a different person, accusatory and child like. But he did the surgery and it would appear he did it well. Clinica San Juan was nice, hotel lucerna was nice, they're very organized in their planning for your whole visit and the necessary steps. Jorge the driver is very nice, Gabby the office assistant was also nice.

      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.

      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!
