Got sleeved on Friday with Dr. Alvarez

[filodough 1]

I think the WLS angels were on my side. It started with an unexpected upgrade to first class on my flight to San Antonio. Had my yummy last dinner of fajitas and then went back to the hotel for a sleepless night!

The nerves did hit me at the last minute but dissipated after meeting my surgeon and his staff. (oh..... i did cry right before the anaesthesiogist because I was afraid I might not wake up)

My surgery was fairly trouble free and I was up several hours later. Was certainly noy doing cart wheels in the hallway but good enough to go to the bathroom by myself. Day two and three of recovery have been comfortable. Whoever invented pain, anti-nausea and anti-acid meds gets a big hug from me today!

I get back home tomorrow, and can I hope for another upgrade.... maybe I am pushing it- but its a 5 hour flight.....

Thank you guys for being an awesome support. Special HUGS to you too. I thank you, my fiance thanks you and my Cooper send his doggy kisses!

Glad to hear that your surgery went well and you are on your way home if not already there. I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Alverez on 4/1/10 and wanted to know if you could share your experience with me?:biggrin0:

Hey Katl, I have had a fairly uncomplicated recovery- it has been 8 days out. Every day is better.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Alvarez and his staff. I was very impressed.
