I will be one week post op tomorrow and return to work on Tuesday. My face is breaking out with huge breakouts on both cheeks and now my forehead. Please help! It looks truly awful.

Cannot believe it’s only 3 days away.... the reality has not yet sunk in.

I flew into San Diego and arrived at the hospital around 9Am. After registration and preop tests thet escorted us to my room. About 1pm they came to get me for surgery. All went very smooth. It was a 2 night stay at the hospital which my husband stayed for 1 and the 2nd night at a motel within walking distance. He walked to restraunts, pharmacy(hospital's was closed on the weekend)and anything else he wanted. Felt very safe in that area.
My recovery has been text book so far. I can call them at a Ca # anytime and have talked to Dr. Corvala when needed.
I was released at noon on Sunday after Fri surgery so we had time to get across that busy border crossing. I know if you feel the need you can stay another night locally and still get an escort back to San Diego.< br /> Hope this helps.

Thanks. Am all set. Driver is picking me up from hotel in SD on Monday and like you will do prep testing and surgery later that afternoon. Did you experience a lot of swelling post op. Am asking only because I am flying back to the East Coast on Friday so it will be a long day. My flight isn’t until that evening but I think Dr. Corvala’s office arranged for late checkout. Hoping my husband will be able to fly out to escort me back home. A little over a month away....

Thank you! This was very helpful. Am scheduled for 1/6/20. How was your recovery and travel back home. How many days were you there in total? Did you stay at the hotel?

Hi - I filled out the questionnaire and am awaiting a response. Just wanted to know if anyone has had the gastric sleeve recently performed by Dr. Corvala and how was the experience? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
