Recommended Posts

Hey All..

My surgery isn't till October, but I just found out that my hubby wont be able to accompany me.. So i will be going ALONE!!!!

Its freaking me out..considering that the furtherst I have travelled is Colorado. So i was wondering if anyone can share there experience

of travelling alone to TJ and going to Mi Doctor.

What was a single room like in the hospital? Did you have a call bell if you needed a nurse? 'Im really worried about being alone!

You will do just great! I went in February and did have my husband but lots of ppl were alone... Everything is taken care of for you from the minute you get off the plane.

My friend and i went and both had surgery 3 wks ago at Hospital MI doctor in tiquana. She was going to go alone and then i found out she was going and we planned our surgeries together. When we got to the hospital there were 2 other ladies that had traveled there alone that were doing fine. Its nice because there is only like 10 rooms per floor so as soon as you ring your call light they come in, unlike in the usa. I had a lot of pain issues because my fibromyalgia and i needed a lot of pain meds so i rang my bell a lot and they were right there within a minute. Dont worry. Are you going thru Medical Tourism corporation?

      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! 😞
