Hola I'm back from Tijuana

well, I did it !!! I am 4 days post op and feel pretty good. It was such a journey to get this done I am super glad to be home.

 

I had my surgery done at the Jerusleam Hospital in Tijuana by Dr.Almanza. HE WAS AMAZING !!!!! I am soooo pleased with the treatment that I received at the hospital as well as the recovery house.

 

I had my surgery Sept.2 at 3pm and was up with little pain less than 24 hours. I was sitting and talking to all the new patients at 10 am the next day. The staff were so professional and the hospital was very clean.

 

NOW.... let me tell you a little about the first 10 hours post-op. YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DYING...lol seriously. I was in super pain, pain like I have never felt. The gas pains are CRAZY! :crying:Gas x strips were a waste of time for me. The only and I mean ONLY thing to get rid of the pain is to walk and walk. My hubby came with me and had me up every hour on the hour for a walk. It really helped. I will blog some more about all the tips and advise I can pass on.

 

Take care,

Nikki

    Glad to see you back. I am soooo glad I didn't have any gas pains. I brought my Gas -X strips to the hospital fully expecting to use them for the gas, but no gas pains came. Hopefully the gas pains are better for you now. Good luck as you continue your journey.

    Hey there! As for me, I'm doing well myself. You were very inspiring for me following your surgery, being up and about and all. The only thing I haven't conquered is the gas pains. I'm doing lots of walking though. I'm glad to hear you're doing great. I couldn't help but to weigh this morning and I've lost about 10 lbs since starting my liquids last Tuesday.I have not even had a desire for food. I hope it stays like this. I agree Dr Almanza and his staff were exceptional. Take care
