True, the amount of his surgeries vary day to day. I saw the surgery board when I arrived and he had did about 4 or surgeries the day before and I was his only patient on the day I had my surgery.

Holly I am glad you are going forward with your surgery and have a surgery date. And yes during your medical stay and afterwards it is your time to just focus on you and your well being. It's all about you now girl

First I will say I did not tell anyone I was having weight loss surgery in Mexico. I knew I would get a lot of negative advice/comments solely because the surgery would be performed in Mexico. And then you have some that are against WLS period. So fear of rejection kept me from sharing my decision to have the surgery and to have it in Mexico. I am truly sorry to hear that your support system isn't there for you. Sometimes loved ones do not understand that you just want someone to hold your hand and be there without judging. I know it hurts that you were there for your sister, no questions asked and when you ask for the same support it was denied. Maybe she can't be there for the beginning of your journey (surgery) but she can be there for you emotionally and physically when you return? You know help you out around the house/errands for a few days. It is ok, that she will not go with you and for you feel hurt,rejected by her decision.If you have done your research and feel comfortable with having the surgery in another country then do it. Sometimes we just have to turn the radio on and make that trip without a passenger for company. Best wishes whatever you decide.

Glad to hear you are doing well and the surgery went according to plan. Hopefully the vomiting and gas will pass soon

Good to hear everything went okay. I will check out your u tube video's.

Less then a week out and already met a huge accomplishment !!!! Congrats to you....

Congratulations and glad to hear everything went okay.

Congratulations !!!!!

Congrat's to you !!!!!

I had dry/flakey skin, all over. Went to the ER,not for dry skin and was told I was dehydrated. As soon as I was able to get my fluids in,the dry skin went away.

I bet you will not get any sleep tonight You are in my prayers and keep us posted..

Nope

Sorry to hear about your discomfort. About 1 week after my surgery I started vomiting everyday until I was dehydrated. Went to ER 2 times and was given IV fluids and CT scans, no leaks. Still continued to vomit, no abdominal pain. Went to my PCP and was told to go to ER. Went to a different ER again more labs and scans.( 3rd visit was the charm) No leaks, but found out gallbladder was shot and as a result of the gallstones I had pancretitis (sp). During the removal of my gallblader it was discovered the surgeon that performed my VSG knicked my liver and it was bleeding. I stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks. I was told the liver would heal itself. Long story short, it may be your gallbladder. I was also told I had gastric erosion . RX for gastric reflux/erosion and was treated in hospital by IV with Protonix to heal the erosion. It has been a long road to recovery, but I am getting there. Ask your DR if it could be your gall bladder. I never put vomiting every day with gallstones and pancretitis. And I sure didnt know my liver was bleeding. I will ask the DR when I go back for my follow up about long term affects to my liver. Take care of yourself and keep going back to the ER until they find out why you cant keep anything down. I have been out the hospital for about 2 week and I can now drink water/fluids without vomiting. So hopefully you will soon find out why you cant keep anything down and put a end to your discomfort.

You are in my prayers, get well soon.
