I had dr. Garcia and have had no issues. Sleeved 4/9

Same here in hospital it was all iv but afters I had no problems. :-)

I was given the Mexico version of Toradol from doc and it was a sublingual. ( melt under your tongue) but I was taking my dexilant 2 days after surgery with no problems along with Tylenol if I needed it.

Congrads...hope all is well with u today!

I agree' date=' last I heard his price was going to increase 500. Anyone who's recently booked with him care to share his price?[/quote']

I paid 4560.00 hsd surgery 4/9 but I cut 2 days off hotel stay. Instead of coming day before I flew in same day and had surgery and left one day early. My friend is set for june 1 and she is paying 4700.00 but staying whole time. Hope that helps. :-)

Ty fir replies. ..she is worried because she is suppose to have wls on june 1. I will let her know what u all told me. Thanks again! :-)

I have a friend who wants to get wls like I had, however she might have a thyroid issue. She is waiting to see doc for blood test....

Do any of you know of some that has had wls with a thyroid issue? Thanks for any info.

Six months was just yesterday. Started out 220' date=' now 153. It's 68 lbs down. I can eat just about anything except salmon. I do also have alcohol which slows my weightloss. I do miss my taste buds but am glad of my decision! And when I say eat anything, I mean like two or three bites, excellent restriction![/quote']

 

I also was 220...im 21 days out now but have stopped at 16-17 lbs. I am having hard time getting all Protein. ..(cant do any kind of shake without throwing up)... do u have any suggestions to get weight going fast again? I have been walking almost every evening weather permitting. Thanks for any info :-)

I experienced that the first week...now it goes from extremely hot to cold...weird :-)

Oh and the reason I switched from nex. Was Because of nausea and I was getting headaches. Both since stopped.

I know they hurt! I also just made myself burp a lot even got my hubby to pat back like u do babies. when u drink try to burp before u drink more. That would help me sometimes.

I was having that problem when making Protein Shakes in blender. But you might want to ask doc to switch u to medicine called Dexilant 60mgs...its like nexium but worked better for me. I take 1 every morning and since have had no problems. Hope it gets better for u.

Oh ok..sounds so good but im only in mushy stage. Im guessing this normal food is further out.

How far out were u when u made this?

Im 10 days out and liquids r not agreeing with me...I have tried a few mushy foods and they work well but im craving fish. Is 10 out to soon for tilapia?

Sleeved November 15' date='2012 down to 200 best thing I have done. Only regret is should ate done this 5 years earlier in life. Thank you again to the entire team with F. Garcia

Hi.....if u dont mind sharing... i was just wondering what can u eat ? Im only 5 days out its a lil hard being on liquids and telling yourself that solids will come back eventually.

I was sleeved 9 April..... im down 10 pounds but that is mostly Fluid I gained from iv and im sure theres a lot more in there as my tummy is still swollen. Also, I switched to Dr. Garcia less than a week before my surgery so I really only did 3 days pre op.

He is a good doctor and I loved Florence Hospital to. Good luck on your journey!

I was interested in Ponce' date=' but had a hard time getting replies as well. I did finally get one, but took several attempts. I'm certain Dr. Ponce is a wonderful surgeon, and I have heard great things about Trish, just the lack of communication is what made me look elsewhere.[/quote']

Who did u end up using? If u dont mind sharing.

Yes, alma said they could I just have to decide today.

Basically lack of communication.... I have emailed, called no response and im a week out.

I have scheduled with dr.ponce but now thinking garcia instead. Can anyone give me advice. Thanks :-)

Ok thank u for telling me! :-) I have a week to go and a million thoughts in my head. :-)

Whats the difference between clear and full? broth, Jello, Protein Shakes considered clear?

Congrads!!!! Did u follow post op exactly and what else have u done? If u dont mind sharing. :-)

I saw gas strips...can u take pills after surgery? Like Tylenol, Imodium, or r u suppose to do liquid?
