A TRUE PYT

Thanks!! How do I move this post to the PRE OPERATION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Hello all..Well I finally arrived in Tijuana after a very LONG flight from Atlanta through Phoenix then on to San Diego..I must say if at all possible please try to get a short flight back home because the flight over here was brutal enough.. Well as far as my experience so far. I was picked up at the airport by the driver Ricardo and yes you will ride in a little beat up looking Honda Accord but nevertheless I was so freakin tired, I would have rode on the back of a mule if necessary. When I arrived at the Oasis Hospital it was late because my flight didnt arrive in San Diego until 9:30pm so anyway I really couldnt get a good look at the hospital but once I got inside it appeared to be decent.. I was asked a few questions at the little receptionist desk then a nice young(handsome) fellow assigned me a room and off I went. Well now about the room thing, I absolutely DID NOT like the first room I was assigned to so I literally went from room to room picking out a decent room. The hospital is very clean and the nurses are very sweet ladies..One important thing to note..Most of the night nurses are not that fluent in english so you will have to just try and make the best of it. They know the basics but don't ask for too many things at once because you will get the I dont know what the heck you're talking about face..lol Ok I took a nap and I'm back..The nurse woke me up around 6:15 this morning to tell me to pee in the cup and I was thinking like can we do this at let's say around 9:00..lol because I was still very tired. Now fast forward..I got my IV line in and boy did that hurt!! I have very tiny rolling veins and plus I was very dehydrated so that did not go so well but now I'm sitting here with these tight compression stockings on just hanging out until around 3:00pm(thats my surgery time)..Dr. Kelly came and talked with me for a long time and explained everything that will happen and I guess he could tell I was super nervous so he ordered me a lil IV cocktail and now I feel pretty darn good..Dr. Kelly has such a nice persona..He is very compassionate and his concern is really for all of his patients to be successful with this operation..You will defintely feel like you made the right decision when choosing him as your surgeon. Well I can smell something delicious being prepared from the cafeteria and I can hardly stand it but I might as well get ready to forget the food and enjoy the wonderful taste of ICE CHIPS, WATER AND BROTH..yummy right..Ok guys i will post again after surgery..Can someone please come and hold my hand ....One more thing, I just opened my blinds to see my view and wouldn't you know it.. I have a view of the cafeteria!!!..That's just plain wrong yall

I go on March 16th!!! with Dr. Kelly.. yipeee!!

Hi...Congrats on your surgery!!! Did you have your surgery done here in the U.S. or abroad? My surgery date is March 16!! Now I'm starting to get nervous

Hello ladies..I have a question..Have anyone ever found out that they were pregnant right before surgery or the doctor discovered a pregnancy when he went in to operate? Just curious

Hi..I also suffer with the same problem..I do not feel comfortable when i wear sleeveless shirts because I feel like all eyes are on my big arms!!! I have not been sleeved yet (march 16th is my date) so I think I am gonna try and find something to keep these arms from getting too flabby as I begin to shed pounds. Please let me know if you come across some type of compression garment for the arms because it will be getting warm soon and it will look real funny 2 be wrapped like a mummy in the summer time

MARCH 16TH ALSO!!! DR. RAMOS KELLY... ANYONE ELSE???

My surgery date is March 16th with Dr. Ramos Kelly..YAY!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!:high5: :dance: Anyone else going around that time?

Hi there!!! My surgery is on the 16th but I'm flying into San Diego on the 15th just so I wouldn't feel so jet-lagged being that I'm coming all the way from GA..Also I'm traveling alone :thumbs_down: :sad_smile: . Have you started your pre-op diet and if so are you drinking your protein yet? PM me if you like and I will give you my phone number.
