Yes, alejandro lopez

What company did you book through? I referred my cousin to him but she can't fine him with the company I used - BariatricPal Deals.

I used Dr Lopez last April and had a great experience! I'll be a year out on the 7th and I'm down 100lbs! I'd do it again, no question - in fact I'm going back to Tijuana for plastics in September!

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot)

Ohh and I've taken two doses of phenergan and it didn't help at all.

I'm feeling pretty negative about it too. It makes me regret having the surgery. The nausea gets so bad that I dry-heave...or have to spit out saliva bc I'm too sick to swallow. Ughhhhh. Usually I'm glad I'm not the only one but in this case I'm sorry we're all going through this.

I definitely have a stronger sense if smell now, it's weird!

Wks postop and this is day 2 of constant nausea. I haven't vomited, but I haven't eaten much either. Anyone have any ideas? Regular bm's, no abd pain, no new meds..

When are you doing the bowel prep? Mine was 3 days before surgery..and it was a rough night but by morning I was fine. Good luck to you Where are you traveling from? Just curious..I'm 3 hours from Dallas too, in East Tx

I'm five weeks out too and have been so nauseated today. I've been taking my vitamins since surgery so I know it's not that. I did have some tea with "sweet and low" today instead of sugar and I'm thinking that may be it. It's been hours tho and I'm still feeling it :/

I don't have much advice, I felt the same way and barely ate or drank anything..it all made me miserable. I can tell you that it does get better. About 4-5 weeks out I started feeling a little more normal. Now I'm able to drink just fine and eat most things with no problem. I had surgery April 7th.

I was actually told that too, the extra air part at least. I found my self accidentally sipping from a straw one day tho and was amazed how much easier I could drink. I don't get gassy from it...and I figure even if I did a little gas is better than dehydration.

I recently ran across a long post by a man who had lost quite a bit of weight and had a tummy tuck (I believe). He posted a lot of pictures, and details about his experience. Does that ring a bell to anyone? Probably a long shot, but I'm trying to find the post again to share with a friend who is considering surgery. Can anyone help?

I was back at work 4 days after surgery and did just fine. I'm a nurse and work nightshift..I'm on my feet a lot but that felt better than sitting anyway. I have pretty great coworkers so they did all my lifting and pulling for me at first, but now 4 wks out I'm able to do everything with no problems. I think everyone is different as far as pain and recovery. Do what's best for you! For me, going back to work and being active was better than staying home.
