I'm On My Way To Be Sleeved Today!

I'm at the airport, on my way to Tjuana to be sleeved with Dr. Rodriguez. I should go into surgery around 5pm pst. I'm so exited, but terrified! This is the biggest leap of faith of my life. Wish me luck everyone! I'll update later.

  • I got sleeved yesterday by Dr. Almanza. He did a fantastic job. I only experienced slight discomfort. I'm so pleased with my decision.

I'm in the middle of my flights home now. Feeling pretty tired and sore. I'm drinking ok though and just really eager to get home and truly relax. It's back to work on Monday, but I may decide to call in for an extra day. I'll have to see how tomorrow goes.

Good luck girl!!! It's so worth it!!! You can do this!!

Glad you're feeling ok! So who is Dr. Rodriguez in Tijuana? :-) I haven't heard of this one! Tell me all about him and how your experience went. What hospital were you at? I love hearing about new doctors because I can give people information that ask me for it.

I do recommend liquids as long as humanly possible. They used very little gas on me. I do however feel like I should feel full and I don't.

Congratulations I'm happy for you and Dr Almanza is doing my sleeve too on this Monday March 26 I am so exciting
