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
