Tommy Joe 113 Posted May 31, 2016 Tara that's my date too! I'm having my surgery in MexicoHi Tommy Joe: Who is your doctor? Mine is June 30th in Mexico with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. My Doctor is Dr Illan through Bariatric Pal Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Joe 113 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm both so excited and so scared about rerouting my insides so to speak. I'm not scared about where I'm going or anything like that but scared about making this huge change. My stomach in so many ways has ruled my life from lactose intolerance to acid reflux to IBS what I have chosen to put IN my mouth has had a dramatic effect on how I feel, look, participate and live. So here are my worries today, what if there are complications in the surgery? I know these are questions I will ask Dr Illan . But as the date looms closer I'm beginning to get queasy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemm61 206 Posted June 2, 2016 Hi everyone. Had my surgery. It was rough night. Lots of vomiting and pain. Doctor is having me stay another day. I have been up walking today and I'm much less nauseas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as the date looms closer I'm beginning to get queasy I also have all three of these things and my doctor said that the surgery will not affect them. Although bypass will help with the reflux.
