  1. My PCP from Hell
    Hello family! I had the worst experience with my PCP yesterday. The only reason I went to see her was because I'd set up a yearly physical check-up earlier in the year and couldn't cancel it. I'd informed her truthfully where I'd be going to have my sleeve done- she was very unhappy telling me that "I will die in Mexico" I said to her God forbid. Well, when she saw me yesterday she insulted me saying she couldn't understand my thinking why I'd put my self in such danger and said I look "like hell"... went on to say I was severely dehydrated, suffering from low blood pressure. She ordered 18 blood tests, chest x-ray, EKG...to top it off wrote a referral request to the ER to admit me have an IV and check out my low blood pressure. She had the nerve to say "I need to speak to your surgeon about a follow up plan because nobody would touch that". I was livid! I left her office and went straight to the urgent care, told the doctor on duty what I had just experienced with my PCP. The UC doc ordered blood work to check my electrolytes and whether I'll need to have an IV; everything came back normal, except slightly anemic, nothing food can't take care of.

    This morning, my PCP wrote to me and said that I must be a very "disturbed and depressed person" to put myself through a GS in Mexico. She's made out my doctors yearly visit to her yesterday as a cry for help because as she puts it "I have complications from my surgery in Mexico". NOT TRUE AT ALL.

    I am so glad you are doing well....can't wait to be on the sleeved side
  3. Hello family...just checking in.... 5 days after the sleeve. The first few days have been challenging with the gas but once I took the milk of magnesium and gas-x TABS not the strips I felt better. I don't think the gas-x strips worked better....I prefer the tabs. But chew them thoroughly! I'll continue posting how I'm getting along and what challenges I'm facing, for now I just want to concentrate on getting stronger by the day. Nonetheless, if anyone has questions they need answered, from my experience, please feel free to write me up!
  4. Well....it's done! Had the surgery on the day I arrived! Dr. Almanza was AWESOME! The Hospital is very very very clean and the staff are excellent and well trained. After the procedure I was quite ill... I think due to the anesthesia. Other than that the procedure was very successful! Thank you for all your prayers no good wishes! I will post again once I get back home!

  7. Hello family!

    Well.....3 more days....I'm so psyched and ready for this! Started my 3 day liquid diet this morning! Drank an Atkins shake....and it's really not bad at all! Actually loved it! I'm used to fasting and praying for 21-40 days so the 3 day liquid diet is not going to defeat me! I think it's all in the mind when you think about food....let me see how I do! Lol...good luck to all having surgery this week!
