Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I’m anxious and have questions



Recommended Posts

So I’m considering going to the BariatricPal hospital as an option for skin reduction.If you have been there which surgeon would you recommend and why?My biggest fear is reading about people saying they are having surgery in Mexico and getting tramadol for pain?I have a friend that had skin reduction in America and she the recovery was quite painful.I mean the savings are nice having it done in Mexico,but if going to be hurting like hell its not worth it to me.Also why is the surgery cheaper in Mexico.Also it looks like they do buttlifts but it’s Brazilian.No offense ladies believe me it looks great on you,but I’m afraid on me I would be sending the wrong signal 😂If anyone can shed some light on this I would be most appreciative.

I do not have knowledge of the plastics portion of your questions (I have years to go)

but tramadol works well for pain management (subjective of course) and I believe its probably being used to not portray or proliferat stronger opioid abuse. When you consult with a group ask these questions or get the pain management plan in writing.

Also, if you go to Mexico...make sure you have a support doctor at home who can help if anything comes up. Keep everyone in the loop.

      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.

        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!
