You look awesome! I'm so happy that we had the sleeve!

I'm one week post op and still having lots of spasms when I drink or eat cream Soup or yogurt. How long does this last? Am I trying to drink too fast? What is your experience?
Mine lasted about a month then I took the reflux mess and it went away...

Has anyone tried to get copies of their medical records from the OCC post surgery? I am having no luck in getting an actual answer, and I am having some pain issues that won't go away. My local Dr insists on seeing the records but won't contact the OCC directly, saying I must, but I'm getting the run-around. Would love to hear from others who have received their copy or tried. Thanks!
Basically you have to get them while you are there because they destroy them due to lack of space. They figure they won't see you again so they toss them. They do such a large volume that it would take up too much space.

Wow go you, that's amazing
is it easier than pre op??Yes!

I was sick with so much nausea for three months finally took Meclizine and it went away. I think I had vertigo after spending 1 month in the hospital with every test run in the world. Finally just stopped after the Meclizine. Motion sickness over the counter.

My surgery took about 2 hours. Band to Sleeve revision.
-
I actually lost with the band then after 6 years started gaining due to issues with not finding a full doctor near my house or in my city. I was revised to the sleeve this May and have lost 65 lbs already! So happy it was a huge success!

I actually had the band to sleeve revision in May at the same time as my surgery with Dr Almanza in Tijuana. Went great! He is very skilled and has a very good reputation.

I used Dr Almanza in Tijuana he did a great job with my surgery but I didn't like my scars after. I'm a RN and have seen better scar finishes. No regrets from the surgery though. He has a great reputation and very organized process. Went very well.

Nurses As Bariatric Patients

I agree most of the bariatric patients that I have met have been RNs. So sad.....we need to do better about caring for ourselves. I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse and hate being heavier than my pregnant patients. No more.....I'm now 65# less than before! Size 14 to Size 2! Glad I did it!
