MZJAY,

May I ask who your surgeon was ?

Sure! I want through Ready 4a change Dr. Fernando Garcia. I had a very good experience and was well taken care of during my stay. And a speedy recovery

I totally understand how you feel my family was not supportive of me having the surgery ESPECIALLY in Mexico. I live in San Diego so we hear the worst of the worst about mexico. But I was comfortable because I researched for 2 years I finally did it 4/25/14 and I'm feeling great. I will say my family has been more supportive now that they see I am alive and doing well. I went alone I didn't want the stress of others people's worries. It is YOUR choice remember that.

I have a rash too

OFFICIALLY ON THE LOSERS BENCH!!! everything in mexico went really well and totally dont regret the decision to travel to mexico. the process has also been easier than i imagined cuz of my new found sleeve sisters...heeeey mzjay

Awwww sleeve sisters for life!!! So glad I found you!! Keep in touch so we can share recipes I'm going to have fun with my new friend sleevetta hahahaha yeah I named my new stomach

Good luck you will be just fine it all happens so fast!

I went ahead and took the antacids it's in liquid form.....it was ok I didn't gag so I'm ok with it now....I was just scared to take it after drinking that horrible blue substance in the hospital yuck!!!! I'm doing well though trying to stay away from the scale until Friday one week post op

Ok what about the liquid for gas and antacids. ....I didn't have gas pain or anything like that and I do not want to take medicine that's just going to make me gag.

Ok so has anyone used pain meds other than the ones you were sent home with?

I was sleeved on Friday 4/25 by Fernando Garcia I'm feeling great I'm at home already since I live just across the border so I decided not to use the hotel stay. I had a good experience no gas pain at all the staff was nice I have no complaints.

Ok thanks will do!

Hello! I had surgery today it went well no gas or nausea for me so far. Had surgery around 1245p Pacific time. The anesthesia finally wore off so I'm feeling normal now. Been walking the halls still haven't eaten anything yet. I feel great

Thanks OTown! I'm at the hospital now here we go see you on the other side!!

Tomorrow is my day!! So excited and nervous at the same time!

Awsome thanks for your response I'm glad you're doing well.

Just want to check on the March sleevers! Hope you are all doing well I'm getting sleeved on 4/25 what is your eating stay by now?

Just want to check on the March sleevers! Hope you are all doing well I'm getting sleeved on 4/25 what is your eating status by now?

Idk how I'm going to make it my coordinator told me at LEAST 2 days of Clear Liquids I tried to start today but I already failed had a banana YIKES....but I need to go get broth and popsicles.

I tried the Isopure Protein Drink and it had a bitter after taste....how are you all getting Protein post op?

Please tell me how you all made it through the liquid diet pre op! I'm so freaking hungry right now! !!

It's official I will be sleeved 4/25 Dr Garcia and I might be alone who else will be there? I live in San Diego so I'm doing same day surgery. So excited I thought I was going to postpone surgery longer due to the car accident I was in but I'm good!

Well I have recovered from my car accident and I am ready to schedule again hoping they have an opening on the 25th with Dr. Garcia

So tell me is there anything that you didn't bring that you wish you had?

So sad but I'm going to postpone my surgery I was recently in a car accident and strained my back and neck. I have been taking a lot of ibuprofen and Norco so of course I need to heal from those injuries before I have surgery. So it may be late April or early May but I'm leaning towards May just to be clear.

Hi everyone.....I'm going to see Dr garcia tomorrow. I'm excited that I am able to go visit the hospital and meet him before I schedule my surgery. Is anyone else having surgery with him and would like me to ask him any specific questions? I understand most people are not able to have a consultation before surgery so I'm doing it for us all...let me know
