MUA

I am a teacher and went back to work 1 week after surgery in Mexico. Was totally doable! Dr Kelly was my Dr and he was fabulous!!!!

Gene pro is the best!! I even put it just in plain water or tea!

10 days out, lost 15 lbs, feeling great! Starting weight 299 day of surgery November 11, now 284. Lots of energy, more then before my surgery, back at work, had very minimal pain after surgery, mostly gas in my chest which was uncomfortable. Incisions pretty much healed & I feel so normal considering I only have 15% of my stomach left. I have no problems drinking water & getting fluids in. Protein going down fine & I'm so happy already that I chose to have this surgery! My surgeon Dr Ramos Kelly was amazing, I went to Tijuana & had such great medical care, so thorough, clean & both my mom and I were impressed! Loved my nurses and hospital staff, met some other wonderful patients having sleeves done as well. Can't wait to keep watching this weight fall off!!!! Every day gets easier & better!

Counting down the minutes until I go into the surgery room for my sleeve! In Tijuana waiting for Dr Ramos Kelly. Wish me luck!!

Getting sleeved today!!! So excited and a bit nervous, but so ready!!!

What is the magnesium citrate? I never was told about this and my surgery is tomorrow too!

Omg, I can't believe 2 more days until my surgery!! Feeling hungry on clear liquid phase but determined... Excited, anxious and curious as to how my sleeve will react in my body!

I've noticed many sleevers end up needing a hernia repair as well during surgery. Does anyone know why this is? How did you not know you had one before getting sleeved or during any pre op testing?

I'm struggling with my pre op diet... Surgery November 10th and on liquids ... Feeling hungry

My Surgery is in less then 2 weeks and I'm getting nervous/anxious! I'm having a harder time thinking I won't be able to chug water more then any of the food stuff. I love water!! Also will I ever be able to drink wine with dinner?? Can you still consume alcohol after you have been sleeved? I like socializing with friends and having wine.

How exciting!! I'll see you there I'm getting so excited yet nervous.

Did you add any fruit to your protein shakes?

I start mine tomorrow!! What have you been doing? Full liquid diet or are you eating too?

Nova... My friend had hers done there and said the hospital and staff were great!

So I went to my local family Dr last week and he told me I have high blood pressure and this is a first for me. So he told me to monitor my blood pressure for a couple weeks before putting me on medications. My surgery is November 10 in Mexico & want to get my pressure in check before then! Does anyone have foods they would recommend to lower blood pressure? Did anyone have high pressure prior to surgery? Were you ok or did u go on medication to lower it?
