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.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
