Ready to Start Act 2 of my Life...who's with Me?? - Mexico

when are you going? I plan to see Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana...have to schedule a date but hoping in early June....I will be arriving in San Diego alone too.

I am going to TJ at the end of June and I am seeing Dr. Elias Ortiz, I wanted to go alone, but my mother insisted my daughter go, so I guess she will tag along. GOOD luck to you and keep us updated :)

Hi , I had my Surgery on Feb. 23, 2015 , and at the time of Surgery I was 347 lbs, and today and still counting down, I'm 285 lbs . One thing I can tell you is , do not worry about the gas pain, and that's because they give you anti gas medicine, but you will pass gas with out any pain. When you wake up from your surgery , your mouth will be dry, and you will not be able to drink any water fro 24 hours. The nurse will give you a wet sponge on a stick to wet your mouth a little until the next day. The pain after the day of surgery is very little to none, and they will give you pain medicine until to leave the Hospital regardless of pain. The most important thing of getting out of the Hospital quick, and that is to do a lot of walking, and it does not hurt when you walk, but you will pass gas while doing this, and that is what the medical staff wants to see you do. Drinking 4 oz. of fluids is a must before they can let you go home, and I will tell you that it took me over 2 hours to drink 4 oz of water, but as you practice , you will be there by the 3rd day, and ready to go home. Good Luck, and Best Wishes, Ktd1
