I am 3 days post op with dr Kelly and feel wonderful. The way he does the sleeve you don't need a drain because you don't leak. He staples, sews, and then tapes the stomach closed.

Did you stay in a hotel the night before? Is that included in your fee?

Night before is hospital, then 2 nights more hospital...then 2 nights beautiful hotel and the coordinator treats you like a friend and you can go to beach, out to eat, Mexican pharmacy with their 32 percent discount, shopping, casino, whatever you want that he has time for. Yesterday I treated my sis and me to leg wax. $36 for full leg, which I thought was pretty good.

We even went out to eat with the doctor.

Yes. Hotel is included. It's the Lucerna in Tijuana. Like a vacation.

What about the pharmacy? Did you have to buy meds? Thank you for any info!

No, I didn't have to buy any meds related to the surgery; that's all provided. I bought thyroid medicine, viagra, things you can't get here without prescription.

      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! 😞
