I went to Pompeii. Things will go well. You have to get a Nutritionist & good Primary Care when you get back or maybe start looking now at least for Nutritionist to help you with diet.

I am glad I read this topic; I am currently in week 4 and lost 1 lb. I thought it was something going on with me cause I just hit a milestone BELOW 200!! I have been at 198 for about 4 days then 197, so I was scarred it was something I was doing. I am also going to stop getting on the scale everyday, it just drive me crazy. Thank you all.

Hello, I got sleeved on March 8th; my blood sugars have been low around 125 average (without pills). My primary says sometimes it takes about 1 - 1-1/2 months to get off medication, but you know everyone is different.

My transition was good. Currently on purée. Soft starting on Friday. No problems at all. Tough though trying to get all the water

I got my sleeve done on 3/8/19 in Mexico also. Although they call me ever Friday. I found a Nurse Practionier & made her my Primary Care. She is getting me into group, she states that once I’m in the group that my insurance company will pay for a tummy tuck if needed because I am a bariatric patient. FYI - potentially FREE tummy tuck.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. I know I am a night eater, if something is bothering me, so I take something (sleep aide) on those nights to make me sleep, so that I'm not up at night eating. Good Luck to you on your journey.

After my surgery (3/8), My Surgeon gas me two (2) pills to take in case of diarrhea. I would call so that they can give you something. I haven't had to take them, but they gave them to me. The weight gain - you won't really know anything until you get the diarrhea under control - STAY POSITIVE!!

Last night was up peeing every hour. At airport now On my way! Home.

I got mine done on the 8th also, everything went well. I wanted to let ppl know where I went, because they were great. I went to Pompeii Surgical in Mexico. My insurance would pay. My cost was $4800 however, they do in house financing. I had to put down 2k, & they are financing balance for 1 year I’m only paying $546 in interest over the course of the loan. They recorded by procedure on a thumb drive & gave it to me. They picked me up at the airport & 2 hospital days & 1 hotel day. Brought me to the airport this AM. My Surgeon came to see me 4 times & they did 2 leak tests.

Just had GSV today. So far, so good. No pain as of yet, however did feel the gas (OMG). But, only last for a minute or two.

I am also having my surgery in Mexico on 3/8 via Pompeii Surgical.

Good Luck, if you can keep me informed. I got about 2 weeks, their going to record my surgery and place it on a junk drive. I thought that was good and interesting.

What's your date?

They said I go back on clear liquids after surgery for approximately 2 weeks. I would guest you the same.

March 8th. I lost 2lbs. from yesterday, which was my start date.

You look good and give me hope. I’m scheduled for 3/8. My weight is 220, goal weight is around 140. I’m 5”1

I’m into my pre op diet, good thing I started on Friday. Today, I’m tired and have been resting. They said it should only last a few days. Can someone tell me their experience with pre op diet. Strangely enough, I have not been hungry. Drinking premier protein 3X’s a day, water, and broth.
