  1. Not sure yet I have an *** and think I'm responsble for 10% of it..
  2. So the bill says 110,915.17 after all the discounts it totals 28,207.00 that's a pretty penny IMO not to bad considering I spent 4 days in a private room at Cedars Sinai..
  3. Might have some ulcerations going on might want to reduce acidy foods ie coffe tomato based foods and see if it improves.. Just a thought.
  4. Blood is probably from the acid and throwing up like the earlier poster suggested take acid reducing meds before you go to get it will definitely help out. Also try not to eat 2 hours before going to bed. If you had an obstruction you would be in lots of pain and have a fever for sure.
  5. I've been walking a mile and some change when I get time.. Not quite ready for the gym yet..
  6. I had no erosion or dilation so I was a good candidate for a twofer
  7. Try more Water I was sleeved on the 5th and I haven't been hungry my brain gets hungry but my stomach says NO.. Are you taking acid reducing meds? You might be just a little acidy..
  8. You can have decaf.. I do I'm 3 weeks out..
  9. Use a smaller spoon you'll be alright make conversation that always helps me I will be 3 weeks out on Monday
  10. Make sure you are drinking your acid reducing meds.. They help ease the queasiness.
  11. Having the drain in hurt so bad that when I had it removed it didn't hurt at all I got instant relief.. The tube kept rubbing up against my diaphragm every time I breathed in it hurt bad.. So no it doesn't hurt make sure you take your meds before you get it taken out.
  12. Due to all the trauma of surgery the body creates lots of excess fluid that needs to be taken out via a JP drain. I had my lapband removed and converted over to a sleeve same procedure.. Hence the need for the drain.
  13. 12 lbs.. From my pre op weight
  14. Had surgery 2weeks ago also I have 2 1" incisions since I was a lapband to sleeve revision. So they're sore and itchy it will get better.. I have a bruised belly still from the blood thinner shots I had there. I've been using polysporin on my incisions to make them heal better.
  15. Who are you telling I had a drain that was left in for 8 days that was so uncomfortable 10 mgs of Percocet wouldn't help. I got pneumonia was hospitalized for 4 days no other complications other than that.. When the drain came out I started feeling 100% better no nausea I've been drinking well. Hope you're feeling better
  16. Sleeved nov 5th also 250 before surgery 269 when I got out of the hospital currently sitting pretty at 240
  17. Drjsalas.com this is his site he is in Tijuana Mexico
  18. I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm feeling a lot better I'm loosing weight and I will get back into a size 11 soon.. How has VSG worked for you how much are you down? Not being hungry all the time is such a big difference for me.. I'm stoked..
  19. I think the one inch per 10 lbs might be a bit of an exaggeration if the guy isn't well endowed to begin with no matter how much he loses he isn't going to miraculously sprout a big one lol
  20. Dr Salas has been my surgeon for many years 3 boob jobs tummy tuck rhinoplasty he has worked on my mom my sister and 2 of my aunties.. I will certainly go back to get my TT revised once I'm at goal again.
  21. Seems like you are pretty early out don't rule out a blood clot they happen..
