I sit here 3 days post op in Monterrey after visiting Dr. Zapata with Ready4Achange group. From the first time I contacted them Judy, my US coordinator was wonderful. She answered all my questions and created the necessary forms for my hardship withdrawal.

I arrived in MX on Monday the 23rd alone since I told nobody about my decision. I was met by a driver who was fully briefed and handed me an information packet. He took me to the hospital at 1:30 pm and by 6 I was sleeved. It was my choice to do it the same day I arrived that way I had an extra day at the CIMA hospital. The hospital and the staff are world class. They are very attentive and aimed to please and calm the many fears I admit I had. After all I was going to have major surgery and nobody in my family knew except a co-worker who made me give him regular updates just in case.:thumbup1:

I feel great. I started walking right away to get rid of the gas. I had very little pain and they did a good job of keeping me well insulated from it.

Ready4Achange group put me up for 2 nights at the Sheraton Four Points which is a great place. They handed me a bag of goodies for the 2 days I was going to be at hotel with Water, juices and broth cubes.

:thumbup:

Overall, I am very satisfied with my decision to get the sleeve instead of the band. I look forward to posting pictures.
