  1. Hello everyone!! I am having surgery on Friday in Tijuana with Dr. Corvala. I am very very scared!! I am worried about the pain after as I have heard that they only give you like tramadol which isn't very strong at all and I am worri:scared0:ed about the staples after. Who will take them out? I am leaving on Friday early..having surgery on Friday afternoon and am scheduled to fly out on Sunday morning..does anyone forsee a problem with this for me? Any info greatly appreciated.. P.S. I have already noticed something..when I email them they take forever to respond.

    Surgery in three DayS!!

    Hi...thank you for answering me so soon..at least I dont feel so alone! I dont have a fever..just a littled chilled. Otherwise, I feel absolutely wonderful!! I have decided to make an appointment with my [primary care provider just to give her the 411 on the surgery..give her all of the info that I recieved so they understand from this point on that my body has changed. I am kind of nervous about that...I live in hickville not sure how accepting they will be about me flying to Mexico for surgery but oh well...lol..they really dont wanna mess with me hehe.. Thanks K

    Surgery in three DayS!!

    Hello again... it is Sunday night and I am home from Tijuana..feel pretty good but kind of have the chills. My temperature was taken before I left the hospital and it was normal but I still feel like I slightly have the chills..wonder if it could be from anthesia? Thanks, K

    Surgery in three DayS!!

    Hello Everyone!! I arrived at Hospital Angeles yesterday around eleven and from that time everything went very swift. Labs, x rays.. upstairs to your room, EKG, psychologist comes in and the right into surgery. There are some language barriers with the nurses but... they can understand a few words and you have the number of the patient coordinator if there is something you need and they cant understand. I woke up from surgery and I didn't feel anything until I got back to my room and started feeling the gas...yes its hurts a little but nothing terrible. For instance, If you have ever had a bladder infection..it reminded me of that. I had a little trouble sleeping because of the gas making me uncomfortable but otherwise everything was pretty easy and fast! Thanks..will post again soon, Kerste Gastric Sleeve Plication Dr. Covala August 27th, 2010
