I went to Dr. Rodriguez. I wouldn't say night mare, however it doesn't sound as ideal as many of the other doctors I have read about since. There was a huge language barrier. While the operation room (in my very brief lucidity) seemed modern, the rest was not state of the art. The only drug they offered was Toradol. The beds were pretty saggy. This was not at a Hospital. It was a one floor "infirmary" though they claimed to be able to handle emergency situations.

They did pick me up promptly and delivered me to an ok hotel. Not 5 star by any sense of the meaning. I wish I would have had my last meal somewhere other than the hotel but I was hesitant to explore. I found out, just before I left, that there was an interpreter available at the hospital.

In hindsight the whole thing seems a little crazy but the operation was successful and that was the main thing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
