NEED A TRAVEL BUDDY FOR MY GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY????



Recommended Posts

@@belindadcns Hi☺ I am planning on going with Dr Fernando Garcia Govea in Tijuana Mexico. How much is Dr , Altamarino charging for the surgery and how many days would I be in the hospital and the hotel? When do you plan on going? I want to try and have it done before the year ends. I want to go into 2016 feeling good and looking better then I do now.

Ok☺ I'm from Louisiana. I just checked out the deals here on Bariatrics pal website. If they find a hernia they'll repair it for free! That's a plus! I wonder how much they would charge to remove the gallbladder @@belindadcns?

I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico alone this summer to get my surgery. I am from canada so it was a longer trip. My bf and sister both offered to come with me but I figured I'd rather go to mexico with them on holiday rather than for surgery. That way we can enjoy it together. I am hoping to return there after Christmas.

When my bf left me at airport security, I was scared. I almost turned back. It seemed like a crazy idea to be flying to mexico to get my stomach cut out. But that was literally the only time I was scared. After that, it was all excitement!! I couldn't believe I was so lucky as to have this new gift and was hopeful and excited for the future. So happy!

If you can't find a travel buddy, please try not to worry. You can do this!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
