I am in Tujuana. Got here yesterday. Did all the pre op testing yesterday. Well, it is now 3:38pm and I am still waiting to have surgery. OMG! I am going nuts. I am actually getting pissed. I don't understand what the issue is. I had to be here at 10 am. There are 4 of us getting sleeved and I don't think they have even started yet.

Sorry you are getting frustrated. I would be too if I had to wait there all day. Which place are you at in TJ? The good news is that you will be getting sleeved and beginning your new life! Hang in there and keep us posted! Sending hugs your way!

Who is the surgeon?

My surgery was 5 hours long...so maybe if there are 4 of you the doctor is just taking extra care of all of his patients....you will get a good night sleep tonight and be all newly sleeved in the morning.

Welcome to the losers Bench,

No telling what is going on, maybe an emergency. Sit back and relax! Don't get your body all stressed out before your new sleevie arrives!! Congrats!!

It really sucks to have to wait for so many hours and not know what's going on. Hang in there, you will love your sleeve after awhile. XOXOXO Hugs

I know it is frustrating. My surgery was pushed back for hours, and while I was given valium to deal with the ensuing anxiety, my poor husband was stuck sitting in a very uncomfortable pre-op area for about five hours.

That was the only major negative of my surgery experience, well that plus shoulder gas pain, but since I was accommodated last minute at the very end of the year for insurance purposes, I suspect it was a small price to pay. Still, it let to a very frustrating day of waiting.

My surgeon did have an emergency surgery that day (he does other types of surgery), and they accommodated someone else, if I remember correctly.

I hope by this time you are either in progress or recuperating!

I am with Dr. Garcia. I've had the surgery now!. I shouldn't have been so impatient. I am feeling pretty good except for the pain right under my breasts. Having a hard time sleeping. Trying to walk in 15 minute intervals.

Good for you...walk...walk...walk... is the game to healing quickly.....

Did you find out why it was taking so long? I am having surgery with him also in May.
