Topic: FIRST MONTH

So as some of you all know I had surgery a month ago with Dr. Quinones in mexico.
I was a self pay patient and went to Tijuana, got picked up at the airport and was taken straight to the facility.
Filled out some paperwork and got passed to my room,the nurse drawled blood from me.
I only waited about a half an hour before I was taken in for surgery.
When I woke up I was in a room right next to were I had surgery I felt very drazzy did not fell any pain I felt a lot of weight on me.
So about a half a hour latter after that I was taken to my room after the anesthesia wore of a little.
I remember as soon as I was taken to my room I fell back asleep, I felt sleepy for some while.
The next day I woke up and still felt the heaviness but not as bad.
I new that I had to get up and walk around as much as I could, if not I was going to feel this weight for some time the weight felling is body gas.
Do not get me wrong you will still have some pain but not as much,it does calm down a lot by walking around.
The next day I felt even better. I like that I was able to eat a couple Popsicle's.
I had to drink some kind of purple crap it tasted like s... but it was to see if I had any leaks in my stomach.
The doctor came in and told me that I was ready to go to the Hotel.
I had my drain taken out does not hurt when taken out just feels different,got dressed and was taken to the Hotel, I was going to go to a couple store around the town but decided to just rest.
Stayed the night their and my transportation came for me and took me back to the U.S.
The line was a little more longer than coming in but I was in no hurry, just told the sweet lady that had been driving me around for the last 4 days my experience in Mexico, and my surgery.
That woman is so sweet, she is very quit but she does talk, I think it is because she said that she is taking classes for English.
So know I am 1 month tomorrow and fell great I can see that I can walk a lot more than I was able to do before the surgery.
I am able to sit the floor with my kids and get back up on my own.
I am able to to a lot more things with my kids thanks to Dr. Quinones.
He changed my life and I really mean that it was the best decision to get this surgery done and to choose Dr.Quinones.

Thats totally awesome, Ojos! I'm really happy for you. I shop Amazon just because I don't want to go store to store. But the fact you can do it and not feel all that tired is amazing. So happy for you. I hope I can relate after my surgery too :)

It is awesome that you are doing so well so soon after surgery.  It only gets better, believe me.  At first for me, eating less was very difficult because I really wanted to eat more.  But that gets better with time.  Good luck to you on meeting your weight loss goals and Merry Christmas to you!

You will likely need a seatbelt extender. All airlines carry them or you can even buy one in advance on Ebay. If you do buy one there are multiple kinds so you need to know what airline you are traveling on. This is only really recommended if you are too embarrassed to ask for one. Just quietly ask the flight attendant when you are boarding for it and she will get it for you.

You can also go on seatguru.com and check out which airlines have bigger seats. Most short delta flights are small for example - However, Delta has delta comfort seats which are not as expensive as first class and are bigger.

I flew a lot obese... so I did a lot of research.

Good luck!!

Topic: I CAN NOT BELIEVE...

So today I did something that I though I would not have done in a long time.
I went shopping for Christmas presents for my family and I went some where I had to do a lot of walking,now mind you I am one that walks for 15 minutes and gets tired.
I walked around from store to store from about 10 am to about 1 pm and yes I felt tired but I could have still walk around a little more.
Just made my day thanks to DR.QUINONES I am able to do so much more than I would have dreamed of in a long time.
Yes I am just out over 3 weeks but man do I feel great,and in so little time I feel so different then before.
My headache are going away and not having as much heartburn as before.
I fell that Christmas is going to be so heard watching all the food knowing that I will get so full so fast.
But that is life some times we have to sacrifice to get what we want,and this is what I want for me a healthy life .
MARRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Good luck on your surgery I will keep you in my prayers
