Hi, I am new to the forum and looking for other Dr. T patients as well as anyone else who wants to share stories. I have had some complcations along the way (2 months post op) and losing at a snails pace with my wedding only 6 months away! I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced extreme abdominal pain since their first fill? It's put me in the ER 4 times in 2 months with no answers.

Yes, I had him. He is very sweet and skilled at the table, but I have to say I am extremely frustrated with him over all. I'm sad to have such a negative response, but the contradicting information and lack of communication plus lack of nutritional knowledge on his part and his staff's part has made my journey painful, stressful and scarey. Would love to hear other people's stories with their surgeons (including Dr. T's) and compare notes. -
Hi, I was shocked at the amount of pain after surgery and surprised that no one had prepared me for it! I also took Gas-X like it was going out of style. Ask your doctors to either get you on Tylenol with Codiene right away or Vicodin which you can crush into a fine powder and put into orange juice or lemonade. It's bitter and nasty tasting, but does help a lot. Just be careful not to take these too much because it will be a couple weeks before your feeling 100% again. If your unable or uncomfortable with such strong drugs and would prefer to go the natural rout, you can send someone out to Whole Foods (or some other health food store) for milder daytime and nighttime pain remedies. They have tons that just dissolve under your tongue. This is my first response to a forum post. Hope that helps
