Thank you for that info. I was wondering about that this morning.

It is so good to hear from you. Glad you are doing better. I am 8 days out and the 2nd and 3rd days were the worst for me. I am doing great now and you will too. I'm down 18 lbs. and off my BP meds already. I promise things will get easier everyday.

Congrats, on your dates Jo and Jenn. Now you will be sleeve sisters for sure. Looking forward to hearing all about your journey.

Hello friends, I was just wondering how many of you all had headaches after your surgery? Mine was terrible the last 3 days. But, it would only hurt if I would bend my head forward or try to lean forward. I went and had my blood pressure and sugar checked yesterday. They were normal. No more BP meds. for me. Yeah! My headache is easing up this afternoon. I called my Dr. back and was told it was probably from the spinal anesthesia. And also from the pressure on the long flight. I am also waiting to hear back from Gabby. Thanks everyone for you concerns.

Alex, Thank you so much for the new ipod. I just love it. When I got home from getting my sleeve surgery, it was waiting for me. :thumbup: Again, thank you. I will post a picture of me and my new pink ipod sometime this week. Judy

Hey Susan, Sorry about your tummy. It may of been a little to early to start the full liquids for your new tummy. You are right though about the latose int. Maybe you can wait a few days and just try a bite and see how that works for you. Also try the gasX strips that melt for bloating. They helped me. I have had diarhea off and on ever since we had to drink that nasty blue apple juice. My new tummy does not like apple juice. Hope you feel better soon. Judy

Tiffany, I"m so happy for you guys. Love the pictures and your son is so cute.

Hi Ivy, Good to hear from you. I'm better today. I do know my headache was from the spinal. The pressure from the plane only made it worse. I don't have any allergies. How are you doing now Ivy? I have been feeling a little head hunger. Was even dreaming I licked all the flavoring from a whole bag of Doritos. LOL

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes. My headache is getting better everyday. Looking forward to having some sugar free pudding and cream Soup this weekend. JudyJudy I had my surgery done in Mexico at the Almater Hospital by Dr Aceves and his team. It does not take long to get a date. They e-mailed me some available dates to choose from. I had checked out a local Dr. and it takes months to get a date for surgery. Cost was going to be over $18000. So, I did more research and decided to have Dr. Aceves do my surgery. The cost to me was $9000. This included everything. Plus one night at the Lucerna Resort and 3 nights in the hospital. The hospital is right over the border from California. I was very pleased with my decision. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. That was really helpful. I finally heard back from Gabby. She said my headache was not normal and must be stress related or I must be getting a cold. I don't have a cold and this is not a stress headache. I do feel a little better tonight and hopefully it will be gone soon.
