Topic: Blog ... week 7

Still having problems with taking the vitamins so I decided that today was the day to try some thing else.
I went to wall-greens and bought some women gummys,and, they went down pretty well i even liked the flavor.
I have been getting off my butt and I do go walk even when it is raining.
First i thought how am I going to walk in the rain but some one told me that I not going to melt.
So I felt so stupid. All I was doing was making excuses not to keep up with my daily exercise.
It is just so hard at times that all we can do is just make excuses.
I am on my 7th week and the only real problem is the vitamins and it is nit even a real problem at all.
All I had to do is find some kind of vitamins that worked for me, just like what we half to do when we decide in WLS.
We half to find what works best for our bodies I am so glad that I found the right one for me.
I decided to get the gastric sleeve I was a self payed patient and went to Mexico.
I was scared about Mexico all the stories people tell and they know some one that some thing bad has happen to them because they went to Mexico.
Than I stop and thought to my self all kinds of stuff happen every where we just here more stuff about other countries for the fact that know body wants to admit the us Americans are also bad people and us Americans also do bad ****
So I decided that since I did not have the money to get the WLS in the states I was going to look into getting WLS in Mexico
I found a lot of different doctors in Tijuana and did a whole lot of research on every doctor.
I found really good ones and I found ones that I thought I was not going to like to much.
Than I puled a list up on the doctors that I wanted to do my WLS and one by one went down the list to pick the best one for me.
I decided that Dr.Quinones was perfect because I had read that he was a Proctor for Johnson an Johonson, General for Tijuana Hospital and that he had done residence surgery in the U.S. so that made me feel like I was going to have surgery by a doctor from the U.S.
Their are a lot of good doctors in Mexico and any where we go their will be good and bad.
It is our job to find who is best for us, and I really liked the job that Sergio did on me he s a great doctor.
I had no complications what so ever and I was not in as much pain as some people make it out to be.
It does hurt but it is the gas pain that make us feel uncomfortable.
I had a little heartburn and headaches after words but they went away pretty fast within a week or 2.
I find it so interesting how far I have come, I have lost 35 lbs from the last time I weighed my self.
I am getting down the food pretty well I find it easier to eat or drink warm food and drinks.
I hope some of you like my Blogs but I like to do it for me so a year from now I can go back and read all that I have went through.
I will keep in touch and let you all know how I am doing.

Topic: RE: WLS in 3 weeks, 2 days

My mom is scared of the world and everything in it. If it doesn't fit in her tight knit republican ideas of what safety and propriety are, then she will naysay everything. I'm used to it after 40 years of it. I'm just surprised she agreed to board a plane (don't forget, the terrorists are out to get her) and come to florida to watch my son for 3 days. He's 8, so it's not exactly that difficult, but she agreed and I'm grateful for that. 

Tummy tucks sound fabulous. How much are those starting? Is anyone financing you? I doubt I'll have the luxury of getting that done, but I said the same thing about weight loss surgery.

Topic: RE: What vitamins are best for?

I'm wondering what vitamins to take as well. I would prefer something liquid or sublingual (under the tongue) rather than any pills. Even before sugery, pills make my stomach upset. 

Can anyone recommend a good vitamin, preferably without sugar and fillers, to take?

Topic: What vitamins are best for?

So I have been taking some multivitamins since before the surgery I have never had any problem since yesterday.
I thought that it could have been that it mad my stomach upset yesterday but it also made me feel the same way to day.
I eat before I take them so I do not drink them on a empty stomach. I t has never gave me a problem until now.
Have any body have this happen to them?
I had surgery 28 of November and out 6 weeks so I am pretty new at this but have not had any thing go wrong and still do not just wondering why I feel kinda iky after I take them, or if their is some others that are more easy on the stomach.
I am so happy with my surgery this is the best tool yet that I have found that makes me loose weight so fast and not come back.
I was a self pay patient and went to Mexico my surgeon was Serigo Quinons to me he was the best doctor I could have found in Mexico.
I liked that he has worked in the U.S.,teaches other doctors to do Bariatric surgery, is a proctor for Johnson and Johnson, he is general of Tijuana so even thought I went to Mexico I felt like I was getting operated by a doctor in the U.S

I bet you look awesome. Any further details would be so much appreciated.

Topic: RE: What to do?

I think a big part of the surgery is the mental aspect - the mindset :) before surgery, we hurt, we feel old, we're walking gingerly in order not to aggravate joints and problems -- but after surgery is another matter. We get stronger, healthier, the fat weighing us down goes away. We need to meet each challenge head on and think positively! You've got through so much already, you'll get there :)

Topic: Week 6

 So as some of you know I had surgery 6 weeks ago.
The first 2 weeks before the surgery was a little hard getting used to the liquid diet but it was not as hard as some people put it out to.
It is hard but I think that that it was more in my brain than it was in my stomach.
I just stayed occupied and tried to think about every thing but food.
Than it was my surgery day, I had surgery on the 28 of November of 2015.
I got picked up in San Diego by a really nice lady she was very quit but she had told me that she was taking classes to learn English.
Her English was good by the way and she is so sweet.
I got taken to the facility and was ask to fill out a few papers so I did and than I was transfered to my room.
The staff are also very friendly and the nurse did not speak very much English but at all times their was a translator to help her be able to translate what she was going to do on me.
She tried to put my I.V. but my veins have a tendency to roll so after poke me 2 times on one hand she had to move to the other but even the doctors here in the U.S. have the same problem so it was not a problem for me at all.
While she was putting the I.V. she also drew the blood at the same time to get the both thing done at the same time,
I waited about half an hour, than the nurse told me that my blood results came back and that I was going in for surgery as soon as Dr.Quinones ask me if I had any questions for him.
He came in and I was pretty calm about the whole surgery so I really did not have any questions for him at all.
About 15 min latter I was on my way to the OBYN.
I came out of the surgery just fine.
I remember when they took me to the room, but after that nothing I was out of it.
I woke up in the middle of the night and was very much wanting water but was not able to drink nothing.
The nurse was so kind and gave me some ice chips to wet my mouth.
To make a long story short I pass leak came out just fine and was off to the Hotel.
I thought before the surgery I was going to do some shopping in Mexico but I just wanted to rest.
The same lady came and pick me up and off to San Diego I go.
The first few days I had had gas pain, heartburn, headache but it was settle not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Did my puree stage hated it I really did but this is my journey and nobody is going to do for me.
I have read some posts that just do not make seance, they say they hate this surgery. I LOVE IT...
I would do it again if I had to this is going to change our lives how can someone say they hate the fact that their lives are about to change and be a healthier person.

Hi,  I had surgery through BeLite with Dr. Elmo.  Dr. Elmo is amazing.  I had a great experience.  Don't forget to bring washcloths they only have towels.  I have lost 102 lbs.  I have had no problems at all.
