Good evening everyone, I can't believe it. I have been sleeved with no pain or discomfort. I will be going home tomorrow morning (6 hour drive). Let me start off by saying that Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras is wonderful and cares so much about his patients. I had surgery first and then the lady who was a revision had hers done. He only does 2-3 surgeries a day. I stayed at the holiday inn in eagle pass the night before and didn't even sleep for five minutes. By the time my alarm went off at 6 am I was ready to go. I came in, did my bloodworm, and had surgery. When I woke up I asked my mom if I was done because I was so shocked that I didn't feel anything at all. I mean literally guys, I kept wondering if it was real or not. I did my walking and they had me on nausea meds, pain killers, and something for gases. I got my IV this morning and will released about 8 am tomorrow. I'm still in shock and can't wait to head home, I already feel lighter and better and can not complain about one thing. They switched my mom and I to another room because people who had a bigger room got released today, and our room was very tiny. We got taken care of and Jessica (his nurse assistant) is great and truly cares about ur well being. I'm here to help anyone out, but as for now I'm going to take my laps around the hospital and get some rest before I leave tomorrow. This is the best decision I've ever made and I'm so happy I did. Remember , the better u do in ur liquid diet, the better you results u will get once sleeved, trust me when I say Dr. Alvarez said I feel so great because of my 10 pound lost on my liquid diet, I cheated once and that was with a hard boiled egg, then again I did an extra week of liquids some can't each myself how to control myself and I knew I can do it. If I can, anyone certainly can. Take care everyone! Susie

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
