Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I’m anxious and have questions



Recommended Posts

So I’m considering going to the BariatricPal hospital as an option for skin reduction.If you have been there which surgeon would you recommend and why?My biggest fear is reading about people saying they are having surgery in Mexico and getting tramadol for pain?I have a friend that had skin reduction in America and she the recovery was quite painful.I mean the savings are nice having it done in Mexico,but if going to be hurting like hell its not worth it to me.Also why is the surgery cheaper in Mexico.Also it looks like they do buttlifts but it’s Brazilian.No offense ladies believe me it looks great on you,but I’m afraid on me I would be sending the wrong signal 😂If anyone can shed some light on this I would be most appreciative.

I do not have knowledge of the plastics portion of your questions (I have years to go)

but tramadol works well for pain management (subjective of course) and I believe its probably being used to not portray or proliferat stronger opioid abuse. When you consult with a group ask these questions or get the pain management plan in writing.

Also, if you go to Mexico...make sure you have a support doctor at home who can help if anything comes up. Keep everyone in the loop.

      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.
