I am in Mexicali with Dr. Aceves. I have felt completely at ease since arriving. Have had no complications. I thought for sure i would have felt embarassed or completely exposed but I have not felt either. I was actually shocked at how comfortable I felt. I think one of the reasons I felt so comfortable is because I spent at least an hour a day reading all the wonderful comments, what to expect advice and even the complications so I knew what they were and what signs to look for.
I was told that tomorrow I won't feel as good but I did my breathing exercises and have walked the hallways several times to try to make it less painful. Thanks to everyone who has told their story on here. It has really helped me. Now- cant wait to start losing weight!!!
I just had my sleeve by dr aceves this morning. My mom is staying with me in the hospital. She will be sleeping on the couch. It is a comfortable couch but if he is a tall man he may not be able to sleep straight. It is probably a little sorter than 6 feet.
I like having my mom with me to help me get things, or help change clothes, walk,etc
Btw- surgery day was great!! Not in any pain today. I'll have to see how it goes tomorrow.
Today is the first day of my 10 day pre-surgery diet! I am so excited, nervous, inspired, paranoid, etc.! I have been wanting to do this for years and can't believe it is almost here. I am heading to San Diego on the 10th and having surgery with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali on the 12th.
