Just trying to relax here in my hotel room. Suprisingly, I am not too nervous, just hoping to not be in too much pain when I wake up.

Had my preop testing completed this afternoon and the driver will be picking my husband and I up at 7 tomorrow morning to take us to meet w/Dr. Aceves before surgery. Prayers are welcomed and please make room for me on the looser's bench!

Much love,

erika

I will say a prayer for you but I know you won't need it! I had my lap band surgery in MX in 2010 but I am having my revision to sleeve here in FL. I had such a good experience in MX and was amazed at the hospital/doctor but didn't want the hassle of traveling with this surgery as I live in FL and it took forever to get to TJ. Anyway, good luck and let us know how you make out. I am scheduled for 6/17!

Erka, much love and prayers are being sent your way to be shared between you and hubby. Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hi,

Good luck and well wishes being sent. Dr Aceves did my revision 3 months ago and was very surprised that I had almost no pain. I am a baby and my lap band surgery was awful, it was done in Florida. Now the guy who had his sleeve done before me was sicker than a dog but he also smoked so I don't know if that was some of the reason.

They were very good to me and I am sure they will be to you too.

Oh, Erika! Praise God you will do great!! You are probably now on the new side of life! Congratulations! I have mine, two weeks from today! Best of the best to you!!! Let me know how it goes!!!! Praise God!!

Erica I felt really bad that I was on the phone when you called. If it had been anyone else, i would have told them I was going to need to call them back. This person and I have been trying to connect for a week playing phone tag.

I can't wait to hear updates. We are going to call the hospital and see how you're doing. If you feel good enough, maybe we can come by tomorrow instead of wednesday. Just let me know how you're feeling.

Please feel free to call me too if you get bored in your room. I was bored a lot with most of the channels on tv in spanish.

Congrats Erika!!! Scooting my soon to be skinny booty over to make some room for you on the bench!!

Thank you SO much for all your prayers and well wishes. everything went great. There was a fair amount of scar tissue that was removed without a problem and then he

Sleeved meq . I am not having any nausea and the pain is manageable...my lap band hurt so much more. I have some gas bubbles that can take my breath away

For a moment...but other than that I just feel like I got punched in the gut. I am so thrilled to get to have something to drink tomorrow.. I AM SO THIRSTY!!

I am quite tired and doze off an on, in fact I need to do that now.

thanks SO much everyone...much love,

Erika

P.S. No worries Denise...

Denise:

Oh my gosh! Congratulations! I am so happy to hear everything went well for you. I am having mine in less than two weeks! Let me know how you are doing!!!

Sounds like you made it through with flying colors! Dr A and his group are so fantastic, glad to hear you also had a good experience there. I remember my pain wasn't too bad (but they kept me REALLY drugged up) except for that stupid drain. And the breathing exercises!!!! Every day gets better after this :-)
