I was sent home with tramadol for pain. I'm allergic to many pain meds so this one is settling but I don't feel that it works as well. Also have reglan for nausea. The third med is protonix which I have to take daily for 3 months however insurance won't cover it so waiting on the dr to fight that out. Took a nap but the gas pain is kicking up again. Ugh.

Are your gas pains just like cramps? I am sore all over my body - legs, neck, arms, shoulders, back. Everything hurts except my incisions. Is all that gas?

I got Tramodal too because I'm also allergic to every thing else. Only the where my incisions are is a little soar. I'm not sore everywhere. I was intubated also but it seems like my throat isn't sore this morning. I'm still only able to sip on Water and crystal light. I'm going to try to sip some broth today hopefully I'll be able to hold it down. I hope all of you have help when you go home. My husband has been able to stay with me at these past couple of days. I don't know how I would have gotten along without him.

I find myself holding Water in my mouth. Swallowing is definitely harder.

Yep. I was doing that with my Protein shakes.

What all have you consumed? They just brought my Breakfast tray and I was demolishing my chicken broth. I found that it is so warm and soothing and I was able to get more down! I'm happy about that because I can get my liquids in! I was so worried about not being able to.

This Protein Drink is pretty good too. post-265899-14545156406133_thumb.jpg

Hubby took a sip and said he wanted to order some. He found them online and bought an assorted pack of 7. Definitely good for the days that I don't want a heavy premier chocolate shake.

Hello everyone,

Im having my procedure done at Mi hospital in Tijuana. I chose Dr. Ortiz because of his experience, continuing education, certification and reviews. I went through A lighter Me. I'm in communication with Sonya who is my coordinator and very helpful answering my questions . I'm still scared and excited but when I read all the positive notes from everyone my fear subsides then I'm excited again, so to everyone I want to say ...Thank You and Good Luck to All : )

OK, back at the hotel and headed home tomorrow. I have been lucky, no gas pains, I haven't been nauseous at all. Just a little bit odd tenderness in my abdomen. Drinking my clear Isopure and Water. Had a little broth for lunch. I definitely feel when I take to big of a swallow.. All is well here and ready to get back to the US. Everyone here has been amazing. I would recommend this to anyone. I have been reading thru and I see for the most part everyone is doing well... Awesome ????????

What is the best flavored broth that you guys have found. The hospital had some better tasting broth. I bought some Rachael Ray broth, it's so bland. I know there has to be better broth out there:( I tried calling the hospital but the cafe is not answering

I used Dr alejandro lopez with ALO bariatrics. He was amazing. The whole thing has been top notch with awesome care and concern from everyone. Even those at the hotel have really been great. If your friend wants to use him I have a coupon for 100 dollars off.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
