Dr. Garcia performed my surgery yesterday. Everything went great.

 

Any nausea or pain? Gas?

Any nausea or pain? Gas?

I had a lot of nausea yesterday and vomited up blood several times. The doctor said this was normal. As far as pain, there has been some, but it's not bad at all. My gas pains have been minimal. I can't complain. I'm walking every hour. It definitely helps with my nausea.

So glad to hear you're doing so well! :)

I had really bad nausea and vomiting yesterday too. Gas pains today. I'm glad you're improving. Walk and sip. Sip and walk.

I am having my surgery next month and was wondering since Dr. G is in Mexico, how do you do follow up visits like I keep seeing people post from US that they are/ going to a follow up visit?

I personally spoke to my pcp before surgery. She was on board for my 3 month followup also went to her at 1 month out to ensure incisions were healing correctly.

 

I recall receiving when a follow up visit with pcp should be done in the packet I had received after surgery.

Glad to hear yall are doing great! If you become too nauseous it may be the pain meds ( not always but I know I was miserable until I asked them to stop giving me pain meds) .

 

I hope u all have a speedy recovery and welcome to the losers bench! :)

Everyone's comments are so helpful.... Guess I didn't realize Ready 4 a change are coordinators.

I just spoke with Ms. Alma, Ready 4 Change, today and had her put me down for May 10th. I am undecided if I want to fly in the night before or the day of. At this time, I'm planning on traveling alone, but I think I'm going to have my husband tag alone. He really does not want me traveling to Mexico with all of the bad news that we hear about here in SA.

I will be there then. My surgery is on May 7.

Yay oz!!!! Keep us updated on your recovery

Im shedule for April 26th with Dr. Garcia

im scheduled for the 27th! maybe we will see each other. I'm so excitedddd!! :)

Yeah cuz i will still b in the hospital :)

I am here in Mexico now and just a suggestion for those about to book this or dates not quite set in stone or even a possible last minute change idea....

I opted for the hospital 2 nights upfront and did same day surgery, my flight arrived 11am and had it done that same afternoon, arrived on an empty stomach, so I got it out of the way, then after those 2 nights in the hospital/miHospital, I had 3 in the hotel which left me to pack up and repack only twice and less hassle from coming to hotel, then only to pack up the next day to go have surgery for only 2 nights hotel... I have used these past 3 nights in the hotel for resting, relaxing and even site seeing!! The staff comes here to visit you even after, it was nice to get the hospital part over with and now chill in luxury! And on the very rare chance their is an issue, you have more recooperation time after to be further in the clear.

Dr. Garcia and his staff were amazing, I cannot say enough good things about them and Alma and the Ready4AChange staff has been nothing but first class!!
