I don't know it may be just me but now that its MY turn it doesn't feel like I its real. I'm a lil worried that I acted too hasty in wanting the sleeve, wondering if I could have just buckled down and lost the weight on my own, & no more good ol large portions. Lol!! I guess I'm just nervous now that everything has fallen into place for me to be able to actually be here. I had so many valid reasons for pushing so hard to make this happen, I need to switch back to that mind frame. Asking for prayers and well wishes!!

saying prayers for you!

You will do great! Thrilled for you.

I am scheduled for July 9 and fly into San Diego on July 8. It was the earliest date possible. Well, actually, late June was possible but it conflicted with a work commitent that I must keep.

I can hardly wait for your report!

Shnagefan, I'm also scheduled for 7/9 in Mexico. Who is your doctor? I'm scheduled with Dr Garcia.

Hi Lulugirl,

I will be with Dr. Mario Almanza.

Hi Lulugirl' date='

That's who did my surgery on

4/30, he is great!!!

WELL, LADIES. I WENT THROUGH WITH IT AND DIDN'T CHICKEN OUT. MY SORENESS IS MINIMAL. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE NAUSEA AND DRY WRETCHING. DR.GARCIA AND HIS TEAM ARE SO COMFORTING. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN HERE. I'M COMFORTABLE. THEY LET YOU USE THE CORDLESS TO MAKE ALL YOUR CALLABLE SO I DON'T GO HOME TO A CRAZY PHONE BILL. I HAD THE FIRST LEAK TEST AND THREW SOME OF IT UP. IT WAS CLEAR BUT SO NASTY. NO LEAKS SO I WILL FINALLY GET SOMETHING TO SIP ON VERY SOON. WHILE I'M WAITING I SNUCK A PEPPERMINT CANDY AND THAT HELPED WITH THE NAUSEA. THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW BIT IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ASK ANYTHING PLEASE DO ASK. THANKS FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES AND COMMENTS. THEY ARE APPRECIATED!

Woo hoo! So happy for you!

Yay!! Congrats! Glad you are doing good!!!

So glad you are doing well... keep us updated

Congratulations and glad to hear everything went okay.

Congrats!!!! Did you have a drain tube?

congrats on your surgery and glad you are feeling good. I hope that the nausea stops.

Keep us posted

Hey, I'm finally back in San Diego waiting on my plane home!! I had the jp drain in for 2 days. I don't have the nausea anymore but now I have heartburn. I forgot the gas x strips so these tums are gonna have to hold me over till I get home. also not to ne negative but the driver didn't call me the night before to coordinate what te to pick me up like he said he would so I didn't get good rest cuzz I was worried I would miss my plane. The front desk finally got ahold of him and he came quickly. he's a very nice guy, we had time to kill when I first arrived so he took me sight seeing. Just get it together when he will pick u up to take u home.

Someone else said he was hard to get ahold of to schedule right back to airport.

Yeah, I had read that too. I wasn't too happy. No way did I think he'd forget lil o me. Lol!!! He's a cool guy though.
