getting sleeved on 11/4.. how did your hometown dr. react to you getting sleeved in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved on 11/4, and I have been reading a lot about people who have been suffering from vomiting amd diarreah since being sleeved.. sometimes for weeks or even months.

Anyone been experiencing this? If so, what do your hometown dr.s think of you being sleeved in Mexico?

i'm going under on 4th Nov too

my Dr here in Australia really wanted me to have the sleeve - but was much cooler on the idea of getting it in Mexico

he was , however, amazed by the price difference

yes - i see the posts about slow recoveries and adverse effects like this

but i just hope that being careful with my pre and post op diet will see me dealt an easier hand...

Go well, Jolly

I have had some mild diarrhea, but nothing really drastic or bothersome. I have attributed it to eating so much liquidy stuff and possibly to artificial sweeteners. I have not experienced any vomiting.

My doctor was supportive when I told her. She just said she wanted to get my blood pressure under control before I had surgery. So far, every medical professional I have spoken to since surgery has been supportive. When I mention that I had it done in Mexico, they ask questions, but nobody has been negative. I'm glad.

Mine was super negative about the surgery and Mexico.

I will be changing doctors but I'm going to wait Til post op so at least we can bypass the negativity about Mexico.

My Dr was so supportive. He is pretty young so I thought he was going to be against it. He sent me for blood work the day after I got back into town and I go again for blood work at te end of Nov. Not at all what I expected. Good luck o you.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
