I answered on the other thread.

I don't think you're gonna give a hoot about your hair between the pain, nausea and sleepiness.

Thanks Amy. I'm sure u r right but now I'm freaked out about a tread I read. Have you seen any naked people laying around on tables? Do you have diarrhea? Sorry I'm just a little freaked out for the very 1st time in 3 months.

Rohler1520 I just got back Friday and I did see people in the other OR but no nakedness. I wouldn't bring a blow dryer. Light packing only!!! Don't be freaked out I read that thread too and in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad. I have diarrhea now, but honestly after surgery that usually is pretty rare, they give you barium the day after surgery that backs you up to be honest. Trust me don't be freaked! I had a better experience there then I did in some of the US hospitals I have been too. I'm extremely high strung and I got through it. I

Your right. I guess if the only thing that I have to worry about is somebody seeing me naked then that's the least of my worries. The waiting game happens here to. I have a friend that has just recently had two breast surgeries due to breast cancer and we waited seven and eight hours both surgeries. Not afraid of the diarrhea,I'm usually the opposite of that. I am going to ask Dr Garcia to keep me covered though. Lol

Trust me you will be fine. I saw no naked people. As far as blue urine, I had none of that. I did have some loose stools but remember liquid in liquid out, lol. Rosie called everyday, I only saw her twice but I wouldn't have wanted to see her any more than that, I felt to worn out for company! She called daily and heck that was only out of 3 days so that's pretty darn good if you ask me. No one is as efficient as Alma! She's the greatest!! I was well taken care of. I saw a dr each day I was at the hospital and Dr Luna was kind and gentle. As far as people seeing me naked I could care less, as rough as it was post op you damn sure wont care, lol. Don't be afraid they are more than capable and competent.

Yeah, don't freak out!! The other thread really sounded a lot like every surgery I've had in the US except I wasn't put up at a 5 star hotel afterwards! I was sent home to my screaming toddlers!! ;) I've seen other patients naked in US hospitals on accident and I know some have at least seen my big naked butt hanging out of those oh so unforgivingly average sized hospital gowns!!! Lol loose bowels sound way better than stopped up ones and post surgery, you'll have one or the other, I promise! ;) and blue in? Blue/green out! Lol

You're just panicking because you're finished with everything else on your list!!! Hahaha Work on that breathing thing we were talking about.

Take yourself out for a nice pedicure. You can have some nice cute toes to shove into those sexy $5000 socks they give you! :)

Oh I don't know. Maybe I spoke too soon! Lol I have never had it come up before. I've had pedicures before all of my surgeries (aside from usually having them fairly regularly, I always have one before surgery to calm my nerves) but I've never had surgery in Mexico or with Dr. Garcia before! So Dr. Garcia may prohibit it! Best to check beforehand! Every surgeon has different rules :)

If no polish, get the pedicure anyway, and just go no polish. It's still so relaxing and will really calm your nerves! :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
