Gastric Sleeve with a Low BMI - Nogales, Sonora

After seven days of having the drain my doctor finally removed it! I felt really scared because I thought the removal was going to hurt. I've never had a drain before. So I got to the hospital and my doctor placed me in my room. He soon arrived with the necessary instruments to remove the drain. I was feeling really anxious because I was scared to death of the pain and the doctor reassured me that the procedure was painless. Boy was he wrong! He first removed the tape and it made me feel more afraid. He then said I was going to feel a little sting he grabbed some sort of tweezers and what he did was so painful that I let out a scream/moan. He then said I was going to feel a little tug and that I was going to feel the tube slide out. That part was painless but it felt so awkward! I felt the tube slide out and it felt pretty long. As the tube went out I felt one of my organ drop to it's original place. I think that's what was making me feel uncomfortable all these days the tube was probably hurting that one organ that I felt dropped. I never really felt pain because of the drain the only pain I would feel was when I would get out of bed I think it was the force that I would have to do to push my body up. Now that the drain has been removed I feel much better. I don't have that discomfort anymore and i could now say that I am 99.9% pain free :) Now that the drain was removed my doctor had a small chat with me about my diet. He finally let me consumed pureed food. I felt really excited. I tried eating the foods that he said but I think it will take some time to adjust because I felt some discomfort after I ate a little bit of pureed food.

Hey guys like I mentioned on my first review I might start a youtube channel and I did. I started a youtube channel to share my experience. Here is the link to my channel https://youtu.be/W37mxP_Oevc. I will still be updating on here pretty soon I have a doctors appointment on Friday September 9. :)

After postponing my surgery many times I finally had my surgery on September 2nd 2016. I ended up getting my surgery in Nogales, Sonora with Dr. Juan Quintana. As I stated before I was going to get my surgery in Los Mochis, Sinaloa with Dr. Carlos Manuel Beltran Gastelum. The reason why I kept postponing my surgery was because since I was not going to get the surgery near my house I had to be sure with who I was going to stay. If I had the surgery in Los Mochis, Sinaloa that would be a 14 hour drive and my sister in law would be the one taking care of me however every date I chose that worked for me she wasn't available since her job requires her to travel so I started looking for other alternatives close to home Nogales, Sonora is only 3 hours away from home so I went on google and researched for doctors available in that area and Dr. Quintana was the doctor that i chosed to preform the surgery. I have to admit i was really nervous because I was basically on my own! I arrived to Nogales with my sister at 7:30 am and the staff had me ready for surgery at 8:00am I remember laying down in a bed with my arms spread out and I was knocked out. I woke up at about 10am and I was really cold. I was so cold that i was trembling and that trembling cause my stomach to ache. The nurse brought me two blankets and in a few minutes I felt much better and my stomach ache was gone. After settling in my bed i had an urge to vomit. So i did and I threw up some red liquid that looked like blood but the doctor claimed it wasn't blood. I felt so good after i threw-up. I still had no pain at all. It was time for my sister to leave so my sister made sure I was ok and left Nogales to go to work. I honestly thought that I was going to be in excruciating pain but i was so wrong. I rarely had any pain the nurses kept putting antibiotics, pain medication and medication for gases in my IV. Even though I had no pain I felt really uneasy. I felt really thirsty and I wasn't allowed to drink anything for the first 24 hours. The only pain that kept me up all night was my back pain. I had really bad back pain from laying down for many hours. That was the only pain i felt for the two days I was in the hospital. The next day I was walking and ready to leave I basically begged the doctor to discharge me already. Like I said the only pain I had was from laying down all day. At around 1 pm the doctor discharged me and left the drainage on me and by that time my sister was already at the hospital ready to pick me up. So we left and I did have some minor discomfort since it was a 3 hour ride to my house. So far I have had minor pain due to having gas pain. Everytime I eat my popcycle or chicken broth I get a lot of gas pain but it's nothing i cant manage. I could honestly say that this surgery has been easy breezy. I have An appointment on September 9th 2016 to get the drainage removed so I will have another update soon.
