January 16 with Dr. Ortiz
Hi,
I'm getting excited for my gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana on Jan. 16th with Dr. Ortiz. I would love to hear from some others who have seen him and if you have any suggestions to help things go smooth.
I'm having a hard time finding a spirometer here in the Canadian drug stores, and it's too late to order online. Someone suggested blowing up balloons to get breathing exercise....makes sense to me!
Any and all suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!!

Hi Mary,
My surgery went great. I'm thinking you probably just had your yesterday so I'm hoping it went well too. I'm 2 weeks post op now and while I'm feel a little weak because of not getting everything in during the day, I'm really trying to increase my fluids.
Take care!
