Came home last night! Truthfully, day #2 (Saturday) was horrific pain-wise, and I was crying in agony at several points. I had to spend a second night in the hospital as I could not urinate without the catheter.

However, since then I am improving more and more every hour! I am now able to sit up and walk a bit as well as eat/drink normally. I have switched from Percuset to Tylenol/Codeine and am excited to see myself feeling better in the next few days.

Thanks all for reading!

Day 2 and 3 were hardest for me. Remember to go slow, rest, eat your Protein and enjoy your new body! I am almost 4 months out now and can't get over how happy I am that I did the plastics!

Hi Mark, how are you doing? I am hoping you can share your experience with Dr. Capella? I am thinking of having him to a arm lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck....or is the TT and thigh lift called a LBL? Did you have your procedures done at his clinic or a hospital? Was the facilities clean and modern? Where did you stay to recover? How many nights were you in Tijuana recovering? How was your after surgery care? Did Dr. Capella come see you at the place you recovered? Etc, etc, etc, lol. I'm full of questions, any and all details of your experience is very much appreciated. Thanks so much! Dee

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
