  1. I'm worried about getting adjusted too. I'm 2 weeks post op. passed on my appointment last week. It was way too soon. But I feel good now not sure if it too soon
  2. Surgery date 2/27 weighed 203...now 197 Same here. Feel like i should be loosing more.
  3. Does the growling and roaring in your stomach ever stop? I'm only 2 weeks post op but my stomach makes crazy noises with everything...water,juice,protein and soups. Please tell me it stops
  4. When I did my research I was thinking of Dr.Almanza. Did the paper work and before Getting medically approve I was getting calls for my deposit. That was my red flag. Decided on Dr.Fernando Garcia. My experiences was good. Nurses were great. Second night my blood pressure was low and they checked it every half hour (drove me crazy but great full) I was there Wednesday for surgery and checked out Friday saw a total of 5 dr.s that checked on me including Dr.Garcia. Dr.Paola is awesome. Place is clean. Only bad thing it's so close to the US border the line to cross the border starts around 3:30 am. A whole lot of honking.
  5. I send my husband to get me the ginger tea. I just had a cup. It went down so smooth and it only took me 15 mins. To finish it. It was the best feeling today. I hope it helps with the swelling too. Thank you!
  6. First day back to work tomorrow. I was sleeved the 27th. I'm a hairdresser and have a full day. I did good today from morning to around 2. Scared of how ill be feeling around 6. Wish me luck
  7. Thank you! For some weird reason feels good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this. Ill definitely try the ginger
  8. I'm 5 days post op. it's taking 2 hours to finish an 8oz protein drink. Can I take bigger drinks? I feel that between the protein, a soup and water all I'm doing is drinking all day long. How am I suppose to do it tomorrow when I go back to work??
  9. I just told my husband and close friend. Wasn't planing on telling anyone just my husband but a week before my surgery my friend called me...she was having one of those "I can't believe I let myself get like this" day. I decided on telling her. Now she will be getting her surgery 2 weeks after me.
  10. I'm a little concerned. I wasn't told to crush my meds. Should I be doing that?
  11. Same here! Surgery Wednesday and home today. I still can't figure how I'm gonna drink that much water. Still hurts to get that water down. Not to many hic ups but it hurts when I do.
  12. Good to know. I have back problem, knees hurt and one torn minuscus. Going in in the 27th and my husband doesn't get that I'm tired of all the pain. He says he doesn't see me really fat. But my knees and back are telling I am.
  13. I hear gas is a big issue after surgery...are Gas X strips allowed?
  14. Good to know. It makes sense. It's all worth it...right?????
  15. Getting sleeved February 27th wirh Dr. Feenando Garcia. Super nervous but exited. Hope to to meet someone out there. Husband is just dropping me off and not staying. I think not having someone there worries me more.
  16. I've been very calm and sure of my deduction up until now. I just have to think of all the good that is gonna happen because of surgery.
  17. Thank you! Good luck to you too! I know there is a lot to gain from this, it's crunch time now so it's getting to me.
  18. I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday February 27. Starting to have second thoughts about the whole process. Is this normal?
