I'm 7 months out and the only time I've had food get stuck is if I slip back into my old ways and power down a big ol bite of food. It takes time to train yourself to chew chew chew. In 7 months I've thrown up 3 times, once from just plain eating too much and the other times, forgetting that you shouldn't drink for 30 minutes after eating. I dont throw my whole meal up, just the last sip or bite of food.

Hi There I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz on August 2nd like Oona. I have zero regrets and so glad I made the choice to go to Mexico. When my insurane wouldnt cover it here, I asked my doc about MX. He said if you go, go to Dr. Ortiz. My doc here had some training under him and had gone to conference where he has been and was 100% confident in him. All reservations went out the window and I booked my surgery. There is risk in any surgery, its important to follow the post op diet and recommendations. I have received pretty prompt replies to any questions or requests I've sent OCC post op. Everyones recovery experience is different, but I feel great and at 3 weeks have most of energy back. There has been a lot of talk out there about Doctors at home refusing to see you for followup care. I havn't experienced that at all. Both my bariatric doctor and my family practioner have been fine. Maybe try consulting with local doctors first and hopefully you will eventually find one who is open to seeing you for followups. If anyone needs a recommendation for California - Bay Area I have a great doc for followups!! Good Luck and reach out with any questions.
