END OF OCTOBER/FIRST OF NOVEMBER SURGERIES/BUDDIES NEEDED



Recommended Posts

I am having my surgery on October 30. I am looking for some support buddies who will be having surgery about the same time that I am. I am single, my kids are grown and I have no support to back me up. THANKS for the future help friends!!!!surgery.png?ts=1413148906[/url]bodyweight.png?ts=1413148906[/url]

I was going to go with Dr. Lopez but he is in Guadalajara the last week of October, so I am going with his wife, Dr. Osuna

They both seemed equally qualified. I've watched all their videos online and would be happy with either.

I'm having my gastric sleeve on nov 6. In CA. Do you have someone going with you? I hear most people going to MX go stay somewhere close during post op? Mine is a 1-2 day inpatient but I'm a single mom and I am going to stay as long as possible with 24 hr care. Not a lot of support on my end either. Sure makes it harder. Two friends support this and neither are around.

Hi, Im tentatively scheduled for November 10, provided insurance approves my procedure. I have been taking pictures preop and trying different supplements to find out which ones I like best. I wish the best of luck to you.

I'm having surgery with Dr. Lopez in Tijuana on October 21st. Like you, I am going by myself with no support person. The only part I worry about is the flight back.

Packerfan, huh? I won't hold that against you! ;-) I'm having my surgery on 10/29, the day before you! I have support at home but would definitely like to have some surgery buddies!

I'm in Fort Worth, TX & scheduled for 11/10. I've got my 2 adult daughters as support for me and you can have one of them--they're bugging me with too much help! Just kidding--I love that they both want to take care of me but I was a single mom from the time they were in early teens so I learned to be independent--too independent they think! It does help that they both have nursing degrees and one is working as a home health nurse. So I'll have awesome help in my recovery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
