So Dr. A just left the room and had a long talk with all 3 of us on WLS and eating and habbits and such. He is a very warm hearted man and has a slight funnyness to him. I was very impressed. They took Gloria back and now me and another patient who are sleaving are waiting for our turn I do not know if it wil be me or her so we'll see.....

Thus far it is very nice here and the staff is helpful and attentive.

Enjoy your time there! Make the most of your time in the hospital relaxing and getting sleep. Once you are home, the work begins, but it is all good and all so worth it. Best of luck to you. Enjoy the ride!

You're in my prayers girl! Go into into this positively positive and in peace. If you're out already, relax.

Ohhhhh memories!!!!!! All the best! You are in excellent hands! Just have patience with yourself and keep positive. The best is yet to come!!!

:thumbup:

Be sure to post on the thread I started trying to count Dr Aceves patients. I am trying to find out how many people from this board have gone to him and what their experience was.

hang in there girl! I had mine on Monday and am already feeling much better. The first few days are the hardest!

I am out and back in my room.WOW I hurt from the gas! I feel like shitv..I am knodding out gotta go

LMAO!!! Sorry had to giggle a bit... only because it was last week I was doing that too. Some people (can't even say who right now because I was so sedated) tried calling and talking to me and all I could say was "uh huh" "uh huh" "ok sleepy"....................

LOL!! Don't worry you will be fine in a few days and helping those on their first few hours. Hugs!!

So I still have a major gass bubble. If it wasnt for the gas bubble I wouldnt feel so bad......I kinda feel a little hungry too, It might be the gass though I dont know. I did get my IV out so I am on my own for liquids now. I am really afraid to drink too much as I do not want to experience any more horrible feelings or puke for that matter...:blush:

Everyone here is amazing and nice. It has been a good experience.
