Hello from Tijuana
My husband was sleeved a few hours ago. He is miserable- pain and nausea. I feel helpless.
Surgery was successful- no issues. Doc said it was a big stomach!
i hope he feels better soon.
Hi Sherrie-
Which clinic/doctor? I had a revision from lap band to DS about 10 days ago with Dr. Lopez
at VIDA in Tijuana. The nurses do their best but my nausea was over the top. Keep advocating
for him until they get it under control. They had to restart my IV the next day to get mine back
under control.

Dr G was great - very good bedside manner. Excellent English. The hospital is to be honest scary on the outside but very very clean and modern on the bariatric floor. There are five others here that had the sleeve with various doctors. There is free WiFi and a phone but I have my cell so I honestly do not know if it works to call the US.
the people here are very nice
good luck to you!
We just got home last night. We stayed at the Grand Hotel for the last day of recovery. As I am sure you will see it is very nice. Cold - I was cold the entire time I was in Mexico!
Are you by yourself?
If so you will be fine. Several folks were there alone.Don't be afraid to ask for pain medicine if it hurts!! They will also give you medicine for nausea as well if needed.
Dr. Gonzales was very nice. You are in good hands.
Good luck!!!
