I am still in Mexico...day 3! I am doing excellent. I am one of the lucky ones who have done really well. I have had zero nausea and very little pain. I didn't have any of the gas pain that I have read about others having and have seen others here have. What I am feeling is more like I have had a really good ab work out. I was up right after surgery and felt good. I am sipping my Water and drinking my delicious chicken broth. I took a shower today and fixed my hair and put on make up and I really feel fine. The doctors here are excellent! Dr. Aceves is wonderful. He has been in to check on me a bunch of times. Dr. Compos is here almost all the time and answers every question I have and is one of the sweetest most wonderful men I have ever met. He was also sleeved a couple of years ago. He is excellent.

The hospital is very clean. Everyone is very very nice. The only thing that I didn't like is that there is not always someone speaking English here. Not all of the nurses speak English so sometimes it is hard to communicate. During the day it's not bad bc Dr. C. is almost always here or Lucy the nurses at night have not spoken much English. For me it hasn't been bad bc I have been doing so well but I can see how it may be a problem for some.

So far so good for me. I will be heading home tomorrow so I'll update when I get back.

Yay!! Congrats!! Sounds like you are doing terrific!! I ws lucky enough not to have the gas pains either and I did very well as well. I'm now 3 weeks post op and I feel great!!

CONGRATS!!

Sounds like you are doing well!! I did have that horrible gas and man it was awful!! For about 3 days, I was miserable!

Then, I had the bad ab workout pain. I am now 17 days post-op and that is just now going away!! I don't know what on earth they did to me, but man, I am glad that is over!

Good luck on your journey!
