Yes, I know what you mean. I’ve had thoughts like “what if I don’t carry skinny well?” I’ve always been curvy, I have good skin, very few wrinkles, what if I’m an ugly skinny person? Yes I realize health is more important, but there is a sense of mourning the old curvy me that loved food of all kinds. I think that it’s okay to have these moments of fear and vanity. We’re human, and this is a lot to process.

I used Dr. Jorge Reyes thru JetMedical tourism. He and his staff were amazing, took wonderful, above and beyond care of me, and made me feel safe. They discovered an abnormality in my ekg during the presurgery testing, and required me to see a cardiologist to clear me for surgery. I was cleared, but the cardiologist diagnosed me with heart failure, so now I’m being treated for that. Their caution saved my life. JetMedical is fine, but Dr. Reyes is exceptional.

I was diagnosed with heart failure the day before I had surgery (my doctors in Mexico pretty much saved my life, as I had no idea something was wrong with my heart.) I’m 17 days post op today. Yesterday and the day before, I started almost blacking out every time I stood up, and then I’d get a headache. When I took my bp yesterday it was 71/48. I emailed my cardiologist and then consulted a pharmacist who told me that with the nearly blacking out symptoms, that was simply too low, and I needed to stop all my meds until I spoke with my doc. My bp slowly rose thru last night and today, and when I spoke to my doc, he took me off a med completely and reduced the dosage of the other 2. He said that at this point in recovering from surgery, I simply wasn’t able to intake enough water to combat the water i was losing because of the meds. Please call your doctor and tell him what’s happening. You very likely need your meds adjusted until your water intake is closer to normal.
