I am sure you're smarter than me to make sure you call them ahead of time to see if they are going to be there.I was not able to have my tests because I did not realize that the entire staff takes off one week every month. It was the only week I could get off work, but it did not work out with their schedule, so I was not able to go to Mexicali and have my tests.

WOW! One week every month! I wish I worked there!:001_smile:

Can we please get this thread STICKY'D?

The information gets asked for daily, and it would be easier to find if it were sticky'd.

Thanks.

SURE (just as soon as I figure out how the heck you do that... Alex?????) LOL ... I'll get it taken care of Tiff!

Once a month, Dr. Aceves has Saturday follow-up appointments with transportation from the SD airport. The cost is $150 for the lab tests, nothing for Dr. Aceves or for the transportation. I've already scheduled for August.

Hi Vegas, Your information is so very helpful to all of us. I do have a question, are the fruit punch protien shots acceptable for the clear liquid stage of the post op diet? Just wondering????????????

Can you see your hand through it? If it were in a glass could you see your hand on the other side? That is a clear. It doesn't have to be clear as in plain Water, but it needs to be thin enough that you can see through it obstructed at least.

Just for general information....I'm on clears for 10 days because of all of the extra scar tissue from my band.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
