Hi everyone!
I'm Michelle and I am 30 years old. I'm from Orlando, FL. My sleeve is my 30th bday present to myself. I want to be healthy and more active (and skinny but I feel kind of bad admitting that! lol). I have been an ER RN for 10 years and of course I'm getting alot of grief from my co-workers about having surgery in Mexico. But I'm not letting that bother me!
Surgery date: 4/10/15
Surgeon: Elias Ortiz
Hospital: Mi Doctor in TJ
Ht: 5' 6.5"
HW 262
CW 255
GW 160ish
I start my 2 week pre-op diet next Friday and I'm kind of excited but dreading that part!! I'm having my gallbladder removed when I have my sleeve as well.
I am also with Dr. Ortiz on April 25th, I have been getting a lot of grief from friends and family about going to Mexico as well...
I also want to have my gallbladder removed the same time as the sleeve, is this common? I haven't set my surgery date yet still researching have any of you seen any post about medical tourism and Dr Mario Camelo Ramos?
@@4evertonya , I went to Dr. Camelo. I had a great experience. All the Doctors and nurses were very nice and spoke English. My husband stayed in the room with me. My surgery was 4/3. So I am a month out. I was worried that I hadn't heard anything about him either. Bianca at medical tourism was a great contact and gave me information of former patients.
Good luck!

I was sleeved on 4/3. I am struggling with calories. How many should I have?
Also my drain incision is still open and about the size of a pencil eraser. Anyone else have this problem?
-
Out of surgery 2 hours ago. Left side/flank pain is not good! But it is where the drain is, so I am sure it will get better. Already walked 300+ feet. A little unsteady but it felt good to move! Day 5 for no real food, so feeling weak and tired! Overall I am doing great and the team here is super nice!

Laying in the hospital waiting to go to surgery! My nerves are killing me! Ready or not!

I drink on occasion. I am 3 months out from surgery. I haven't had any problems with it, but if I over do it, recovery the next day is harder.
