Ky.hen, my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Stoon, how are you doing?

How is everybody doing that has been sleeved this week? Haven't heard anything (might have missed it though as can't check the board much during the week). Just know that I have been thinking of you all. Congratulations to all of you on the next phase of your weight loss journey/new life.

Tiffykins, glad you are now with your sweetie. Treasure each moment. Have a great time making memories.

Cajun/Attitude free, sounds like you are both doing fantastic! I am so excited for you.

Not sure if Judy was having surgery today

or if she arrived in Mexicali today. Which

ever it is, she is in great hands.

I look forward to hear how you're feeling

Ky. Hen, Judy!

Judy asked that I post that she is up and walking. Also aware that tomorrow will be tough. She's a trooper and it was great having her come in to overlap our stay. She is the absolute sweetest thing. She wants to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm heading back to Vegas tomorrow and should have some pictues posted soon of many of Dr Aceves "works of art" this week.

Judy,

We need an update. Hope everything is "passing on through" and you are home or getting there soon. Let us know how you are and please speak to the safety in Mexico and the ride from the airport. My friend who is accompanying me is getting a lot of nervous inquiries from her family about our safety. I need something to calm their fears.

Norma - are you flying in to San Diego? If so, tell your friend's family that you are never alone. Ernesto picks you up at the airport, takes you to the hospital for your pre-tests; takes you to the resort which you never have to leave as they have restaurants on site, picks you up in the morning, takes you to the hospital where you stay for the next 3 nights/4 days and then takes you back to the San Diego airport on the date you are released. It couldn't be safer.

Mexicali is not a dangerous city anyway -- when Bearded has his surgery, I drove around trying to find the mall - never found it, but did find a super Walmart so wandered around in there for about an hour, then drove back to the hospital -- I never felt threatened or at danger. You can walk all around outside the hospital and no one bothers you - that's if you even see anyone!

The ladies who work in the hospital cafeteria are very nice, as is everyone I encountered at the hospital.

Your friend's family need not wory about you and your friend's safety.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
