On the mend after revision in Tijuana
Hi all-
Had revision from Lap Band to DS with Dr. Alejandro Lopez and team in Tijuana on 11/2.
I understand I was in there for a long time (5+ hours) and delayed others (sorry!) due to lots of scar
tissue and complication of 2 large hernias he had to work around. (Those will get fixed after
I lose weight). He was still able to do the surgery with the scope and didn't have to open me
up for which I am so grateful!
Other than some pretty severe nausea and a few reactions to either medication or one kind
of the surgical tape - things went pretty smooth! Dr. Lopez is terrific and everyone on his team
is extremely professional and efficient. I am 10 days out and still pretty sore but haven't had
to take any pain meds since I left the hospital. Usually make me sick so better off without them!
Not having any trouble getting liquids in but folks are right - some things sure don't taste the same!
Karen
