Funny Things About Surgery In Mexico



Recommended Posts

So I have been in Mexico since Monday and am 3 days post op. I feel great and was walking around the Walmart today to buy some essentials. The funny thing that I experience is in the hotel Marriot.

I needed some tampax and pads. I went to the gift shop and they sell the pad individually wrapped. I declined and bought the whole bag of 14 for 17.50! I was desperate. That was why I went to Walmart, I need tampons. I went back to the gift shop to buy Tylenol for the headache I have had for 2 days. I bought 2 pills from the bottle for 2.80

If you are preparing to have surgery in Mexico and are staying at the Marriot, be prepared. Other than that, they have great service, speak English and have super comfy beds with lots of soft pillows.

Or at least don't plan on buying them in the hotel gift shop.

Just view it as a convenience fee. All things considered $20 in extra expenses is not that bad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
