Update on my surgery with Dr. Garcia!



Recommended Posts

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I wasn't made aware of an 800# at the Marriott. But you could definitely ask at the desk. We used FaceTime the entire time to communicate through the Wifi and it worked great. We also used the phone at the hospital.

The number is 888-748-8785 just tell your family to be persistant if someone gives them a hard time about patching them through. When my mother called it took her two times the first time, each time thereafter she had no issues calling my room.

No problem, glad I could help :) I was sleeved 11/8/12 so almost 3 months out.

I am doing great, just need to get my behind in gear and start exercising. Other then that eating feels like a chore and I was a bread lover now all I can think about is my Protein and don't even want the bread!! Lol

I am just soooo happy that I had this done. Just had my 3 month blood work done waiting for results hopefully my Vitamins are doing their jobs.

Thanks for asking! :)

Beth,

I was reading posts on some of the post-op forums, and I was surprised to read that many people had trouble eating eggs early in their recovery. For some reason, scrambled eggs seem to upset alot of sensitive stomachs!

      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! 😞
