Hello everyone here's my story!!!
So I went to Mexico, TJ to have my gastric sleeve done on 2-23-2013. Was sleeved on the 23rd!! Yes same day as surgery! I will tell you I went to Dr. Fernando Gracia!
The coordinator told me that the doctor said because my bmi isn't so high I can eat light the night before and drink till 8 am the day of surgery!
Well well I ate only Grandma cookies the day before! Chocolate fudge ones and I sure enjoyed it。the day prior 2 that I only had Jamba Juice! I would've ate more but my friend that had the sleeve done two months before me suggested me not too! Advised if I wanted a smooth surgery to not eat! So let me tell you about the surgery....
i went under afternoon and was in my room about 2 hours later. i WON'T LIE THE FIRST NIGHT WAS A BIT PAINFUL.... PAINFUL AS IN SORE STOMACH AND FROM A 1 - 10 I WAS IN 4. SO IT IS PRETTY BARE-ABLE. I DIDN;T SLEEP WELL THAT NIGHT. MAJOR BOTHER OF MINE WAS THE IV..... OMG MY POOR RIGHT HAND WAS SO SWOLLEN WHEN I HAD LEFT THE HOSPITAL.... AND FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS NOW IT IS JUST DIEING DOWN. WELL. SURGERY IN MEXICO TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. THE GROUP THAT I WAS WITH WAS REAL SUPPORTIVE AS WELL. THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT THE NURSES WHERE CONSTANTLY GIVING ME MEDICATION SO I DON'T FEEL PAIN. Post op 5 days my sore ness is GONE! Well out of 100% its 30% around. I am actually feeling hungry more than anything. anyhow i will finish up my story in abit
about weight: SW: 253 LBS.
POST OP DAY 5- 248;LBS.
CONGRATS TO ME I AM 5 LBS LESS.
I CAN'T WAIT THOUGH TILL I AM ABLE TO HAVE THE TASTE OF SWALLOWING FOOD AGAIN. THOUGH I WILL NEVER RESUME TO MY OLD HABITS AGAIN. JUST EAT SMALL PORTIONS AND TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP WILL BE THE KEY.
