    I am looking for a friend/mentor they don't have to be Canadian but it would nice to have someone local to relate to. I am going to PV to have a gastric bypass done. I had a vsg done a year ago....unfortunately it wasn't successful I am really hoping this works !!

    Considering surgery in Mexico

    Hi heidivonh I used Dr. Joya too. How much weight have you lost? Did your weight come off quickly? I find my weight is coming off very slow...I'm just wondering if it's just me.

    I had mine done in Mexico. I didn't want to be on such a long waiting list. I had it done this past Feb. Not losing much weight

    Gas

    Help...I have so much gas (intestinal) and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help me please ?

    Gas

    Shmily I had my surgery Feb 11th. Thank you for the suggestions. I bought these charcoal pills at the pharmacy...when I tried to take a pill today the capsule opened up and poured all over my hand and in my purse...I was mortified!!! It looked like I had spilled toner all over me Needless to say I never got to try it to see if it works or not. Are any of you having issues with gas ? I am a month out and am eating regular food, do you think maybe thats the problem? I mainly eat chicken (grilled)

    Cramp Help !

    Can anyone help me...I have such a bad cramp. At least I think it's a cramp. It is right under my right breast. It is such a sharp pain and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've had it since lunch time. I currently have a heating pad on my tummy oh and it seems to be radiating to my back. Is this normal? Can anyone help please ?

    Cramp Help !

    Music1618 I wish I could call my Dr. but I had it done in Mexico. I did however email him, he said to wait a couple days to see if the pain goes away...if not then I head to the hospital This is scary....

    Cramp Help !

    Thanks for replying copmom. I wish it was gas...but it's definitely not I thought about my gallbladder too but I don't think so. I feel a bit better today thankfully but now the pain is on my back. I don't know whats going on. I figure since I am only a month out, maybe I am just healing? I hope anyhow. Hows everything going with you?
  23. Hi Copmom, I just had my bypass on Feb 11th. I haven't been able to do too much exercising other than walking. As soon as the weather warms up I will include swimming in my routine. Other than that I am living off of soup and water. How about you?

    Must Have Items for After Surgery

    I really appreciated having my heating pad to keep on my stomach, it helped with the pain as well as the gas pain. Also some comfy slippers for all the walking. All the best to ya !!.

    Is it right for me?

    1020 I am 5'1" and was 100 lbs over weight too, I had a Vsg done Jan 21, 2013 but I've just had the revision to a bypass dine on Feb 12, 2014. I only lost about 45 lbs even though I followed the program to the letter. If I were you I would research the sleeve and bypass to see what you think will work for you long term. PS: the bypass hurts less if you do it first (speaking from experience) good luck. Let me know what you decide.
