1 day post op

Well! I had my surgery yesterday in Tijuana at the OCC with Dr. Ariel Ortiz.

It went well. Moderate pain and discomfort. But they were on top of the meds, that helped a lot. Great caring staff. Great nutritionist. Lots of attention. Netflix in the room to watch. Then some sleeping meds and a good nights rest. The discharge the next morning was about 7am. Picked up my perception meds and instructions from the receptionist.

Now back in my hotel room for recovery. Feeling better the second day. I can drink fluids ok with minor discomfort/ spasms ( cold beverages work best for me). I do feel like I did 300 sit-ups. A little difficult getting in and out of bed. And a few bouts of nausea.

Tomorrow is the barium swallow, sight seeing and hanging out with the other vsg patients.

Great experience.

So far so good.
