    janellody got a reaction from Toomanytacos in What rules did your surgeon give you?   
    I have talked to many people frlom different parts of the country who have had different "rules" after surgery. Some said no alcohol, some said no caffiene, etc. What rules did you get? Have you followed them?

    liquid diet was worse than surgery in my opinion. Was torture.
    Don't cheat.
    If you're going to cheat, cheat with Protein, and absolutely no carbs. It's the elimination of carbs that shrinks your liver.
    Don't cheat.
    it gets easier after your will to live is broken and you give up. For me, this happened around day 3-4. LOL:) Laugh or cry. We laugh to survive.

    janellody reacted to jjmama in NEW BREASTFEEDING MAMA!   
    I had my surgery when I was still breastfeeding my 9 month old. It wasn't a problem at all. I had to pump and dump the first 24 hours after surgery, but then I was put on pain meds that were okay to take while breastfeeding. My husband actually brought her to me and I breastfed her while I was still in the hospital. You can find comfortable ways to hold your baby even with the incisions. Be extra vigilant getting in your Vitamins and Protein because baby will be taking lots of your nutrients, but I didn't have any problems. Don't stress out. You can do it! And you'll be giving your baby a much healthier mama to care for them!

    janellody got a reaction from Colin in Self-pay costs of different surgeons.....   
    Dr. Ortiz at OCC in TJ, Mexico... $6800, my mom just got it done and I am on my way there in February. Awesome staff and facility!!! And way cheaper than the places here in the USA, Dr. Ortiz has been doing these longer since it wasn't approved in the USA for some time after they were doing it in Mexico. TOP NOTCH!
