  1. I sent you her email info, I hope you got it!
  2. And she's serious, she emailed me when I've had questions for my mom who's going in August. It's great to hear first hand how thing truly are, thanks missy
  3. I emailed you her info.
  4. My mom has been working with his coordinator, my moms going in aug. I'll send you her email.
  5. I'm pretty sure it came out that she did have by-pass, not sure how her credibility will be. I won't be looking to her for recipes or help, start with lies that it for me.
  6. Do it, don't wait. It will be a hard year for her. I wish I would have done it when I was 18. I have an 11 year old that is a little heavy, if in a few years she is heavier I won't hesitate to give her this gift. Good job mom for asking and researching this!!
  7. I get that everytime, I haven't found out what causes it but its annoying. When I had my sleeve in Mexico the gauze strip they used didn't do that but I can't find it in the states. I'm so sorry
  8. I had 3 c sections, lap band and sleeve, sleeve was more uncomfortable because of the gas pain only. I recovered easily with all.
  9. Do you have an email address to get in contact with them? I'm researching ps and am interested in him.
  10. Life of a mother I am blessed with an amazing husband who is hands on when he's home and my parents live with us so they helped out a lot. Rest when you can
  11. I have 5 children, the only time off I got was the 2 days in the hotel in Mexico and boy did I enjoy it.
  12. I used dr Cabrera and dr Venezuela for my revision, I was very pleased.
  13. I went to the dr the other day and the nurse was a friend who I hadn'tt seen since my heaviest, she called my name and as I was walking. towards her she kept looking around me, she didn't recognize me
  14. never mind, I re read it. I would be switching pcp's That's ridiculous, I hope you get some help and relief soon!
  15. This is your surgeon that won't refer you?
  16. For me they just gave me meds to sleep, they put a tube down your throat and use a balloon to stretch it. Except for a sore throat and my stomach was a little uncomfortable, it's really pretty simple. I came home slept the rest of the day and night and have been on liquid and soft foods as onewriterssoul suggested to me. My dr said normal eating was fine but I don't see how I could. I actually had a few bites of chicken and didn't throw up. Don't worry yourself, you'll do fine. Keep us posted
  17. I had my stricture repaired yesterday, except for waking up in the middle of it and freaking everyone out it was pretty easy. I have a sore throat but I think that's because I had woke up, gagged and asked if I should be awake. I know it's hard, I've been there. Sending you great well wishes!!
  18. If my children talk to each other they way some of you guys are, they'd be grounded. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX
  19. I agree, I have a stricture and throw up, Aussie go to the dr, something is not right! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX
  20. I agree with Lauren, a scope will either confirm or rule out a stricture. I have one, I can keep Water down but no food. I waited to get it checked out and now I'm miserable till they fix it. Talk to you dr. Good luck! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX
