Sleeved And Doing Fine!



Recommended Posts

So glad you are all doing so well! I love Dr Kelly too, & can't say enough good things about him! Actually still miss being there with him & the team!

I heard rumors he may be looking into a cruise for past patients? Anyone hear anything on that? I would love to do something like that!

If not then maybe a trip back to visit him sometime next year!

Glad you are doing great - I'm the girl you talked to in the lobby you talked with the day you got in, who showed you my incisions, lol. Glad you all did great, and it realy was like a little mini vacation.

I thought Tijuana was beautiful, it is such a shame that the drug cartels and crime have given it such a bad reputation.

Which one was Casa de Mole? I'm not sure, all I know is that the place across the hotel that looks like a giant tiki hut had the most awesome fish Soup - it was so good, I've been trying to find a recipe that would seem similar, but no luck, lol.

Good Luck on your journey.

Casa de mole was across the street, it had flags in orange, green, yellow and red. I guess it could look like a tiki hut, not sure if its the same. How are you doing? It was very nice to meet you as well!

My family and I were sleeved on Monday' date=' and each of us had a different experience! I had very little pain, my aunt had a little trouble coming out of anesthesia, and my cousin, had lots of gas pain and freaked out a bit, but she's never had any major surgery. Right now my aunt and I are relaxing in the lobby of the beautiful lucerna, until our ride arrives. My cousin went into town with cecey to get somr new sunglasses. Everyone is great, the broth at the hotel isn't great like the others have daid, but we have been spoiled by Omar. He has taken us every dau to casa de mole for luncj, amd their Soup is beyond great. Dr Kelly is phenomrnal, he treated us girls to a wonderful pedi, and spent lots of time visiting and answering questions. Never had any trouble really. Great experience. :)[/quote']

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My surgery is July 2nd with Dr. Kelly.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
