Sleeved by the great Dr Kelly in Tijuana Mexico!

I was wrong, leak test tomorrow then we can move over to the hotel, yay! Ant wait for a change o scenery and hopefully something with some flavor in our mouths! Ice chips are getting OLD!

Dr Kelly is awesome. So is Omar and the entire staff of Dr's and nurses at the Florence hospital. Met ALOT of wonderful people who Were sleeved over the last few days. I hope to feel as good as they do, although not complaining. I do feel good!

Officially on the losers bench! Feel like its the first day of my new life! Went in yesterday around noonish and i think I woke up around 2ish. Woke with no pian and haven't had any pain meds yet. Did have some gas issues over night and haven't been able to lay on my left side. I've been walking the halls and sleeping. Ready for some ice chips !! I think were having the leak test today!

Officially sleeved!!! Will write more when I'm not so sleepy :-)

Am I rockin the hospital gown this morning??? Surgery is coming soon! Wish all three of us girls luck!!

I'm having surgery tomorrow here in Tijuana, once you get here you'll settle down a little, try and get some sleep tonight :-)

Made it safe and sound to Portland, next flight to San Diego boards in about 10 minutes! I can't wait!

At the airport!!!

My bags are packed and my flight leaves at 5am! Can't wait to get this show on the road!! Sleeve sisters... Can't wait to see you tomorrow!!!!

I'm going this week (wow that sounds strange!!) To have surgery with Dr. Kelly and he doesn't use a coordinator. Omar is his assistant and it has been a pleasure communicating with him over the last few months. Can't wait to finally get over there and meet everyone!!

Having a drain is not a death sentence! It's not a big deal and if it's not necessary the Dr won't put one in. If the dr chooses to put one in, for whatever reason, then it's obviously necessary! If I had the choice, based on other experiences and things I have witnessed (not necessarily having to do with me per se) I would choose to have a drain. I certainly wouldnt choose my dr based solely on whether or not he uses a drain.

How did it turn out?

I hate diets. I hate pre op diets. This is just thing I need to realize why I can't do this on my own!!!

Ummmm obviously?!?! LOL

This is true! I threw my back out two weeks ago just stepping out of the shower wrong...painful!

Sorry, when I read "I did not have a tube" I just assumed you thought you actually didn't have one. Guess I read that wrong...

Basically your crossing into American territory so Mexico won't hold you up. If you were born in the US and have a driver license and a birth certificate they won't deny your entrance. They typically don't deny citizens entry into their own country. I wish I had known that before I spent $$$ on a passport lol. My husband will be coming to Mexico in October and we won't be getting him a passport.
