Wow! Great job! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Yay for you! I am sure you will do great. I was so happy I was first, I was so worried about having to sit around and wait for others to go before me but thankfully that didn't happen. Please update so we know how you are doing!

Do you work on the computer at home? It will be much easier if that is what you do. I don't think it will take long for you to get back to work at home but you won't know until you have surgery. Each person reacts differently. I was fine after surgery and up and walking right away. I even posted on here from my hospital room and felt fine. Others don't have it so easy so you will have to wait and see how you feel. I had my surgery on Tuesday and came home on Friday. The only "issue" I have is that I get worn out easy but I just had major surgery so that is to be expected.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to be sleeved! You can do it! I was just sleeved on Tuesday as I am feeling great! You can do this!

Renee`, did you end up leaving today or staying till tomorrow? We got home very late after a very long day on the plane!

I just wanted to give all of you a little update on Renee`. She is in the room next to me and had her surgery yesterday. She is having a hard time and has been really sick. She has been up a few times today and I have spent time with her in her room. She is starting to look a little better. Please send some prayers her way! I keep telling her that she will be feeling better very soon. I know you are all wondering about her so I wanted to let you know how she is but I will let her update all of the details when she is ready.

I am still in Mexico...day 3! I am doing excellent. I am one of the lucky ones who have done really well. I have had zero nausea and very little pain. I didn't have any of the gas pain that I have read about others having and have seen others here have. What I am feeling is more like I have had a really good ab work out. I was up right after surgery and felt good. I am sipping my Water and drinking my delicious chicken broth. I took a shower today and fixed my hair and put on make up and I really feel fine. The doctors here are excellent! Dr. Aceves is wonderful. He has been in to check on me a bunch of times. Dr. Compos is here almost all the time and answers every question I have and is one of the sweetest most wonderful men I have ever met. He was also sleeved a couple of years ago. He is excellent. The hospital is very clean. Everyone is very very nice. The only thing that I didn't like is that there is not always someone speaking English here. Not all of the nurses speak English so sometimes it is hard to communicate. During the day it's not bad bc Dr. C. is almost always here or Lucy the nurses at night have not spoken much English. For me it hasn't been bad bc I have been doing so well but I can see how it may be a problem for some. So far so good for me. I will be heading home tomorrow so I'll update when I get back. Sarah

Still doing Great! Dr. Aceves came in and i was up walking around and he said, "are you sure you just had surgery?" . We will see what tomorrow brings. I'll update tomorrow but I think I'll start a new post in the post op section since I can! Good night everyone!

I'm Sleeved! Yippee. Feeling good so far. Got out of surgery a few hours ago. I've been up to go to the bathroom and walk a little. Legas are a little shaky. I just took some pain meds so I am going to take a nap. So far pain is controlled and not hurting much. Obviously I know that may change. I'll update later! Thanks to you all for thinking of me today!

I am here in Mexicali in my hospital room waiting to be sleeved! I booked with Southwest and have been booking with them since they began and they are the cheapest I can find, usually! I have never had anyone be rude to me at all with Southwest and I was never asked to purchase 2 seats. Pack light. I packed a carry on so I can just take it with me. I took a small pillow for the plane ride home to hold over my stomach if I have to cough or sneeze. I also brought a heating pad and I'll let you know if I end up using it. I have slippers and bring a robe, they don't have them here! I also have a wheel chair that will be waiting for me at the airport for the same reasons that are stated above. Our flight will take over 8 hours with stops so I know it will be more comfortable if it is there for me. If I can think of anything else while I am here I will let you know.

Come over and see if I am here or not! I'm in room 22. STop by if I am in surgery my mom is sitting in the room!

Awww, thanks Renee`...I'm in my hospital room waiting to be taken back. I will see you tomorrow. There is another guy here looking for you too not sure who he is but I heard him ask for you at the front desk.

Hi everyone! Here I am sitting in my hospital room in Mexico waiting to get my sleeve! I will update more after the surgery. Everyone here has been so nice and kind. So far so good. I hope I'm first today bc I am ready to go.......See you on the other side!

I am leaving tomorrow morning for Mexico. I will be sleeved on Tuesday! It's funny because I don't really have any feelings right now. I'm just kind of numb. I am excited but I don't feel nervous or anything. I'll let you all know how I do after surgery! Thank you everyone for all of your support so far! Talk to you on the other side!

I just wanted to say that I am so happy there is a Mexico forum now!!! I was hoping for one since I joined!

Exciting! I know how you feel...I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow, too but I am going to Dr. Aceves. Hope all goes well for you. I'm not packed yet, working on that now.

Wow you look great! You seriously look like you have lost 100 pounds! You must carry your weight really well! Congratulations!

I am so excited for you! What great news! Keep us posted on how things go!

Have faith, it will happen....I like that! Congratulations on your weight loss and new found enjoyment for life!
