Hello everyone, Thanks for the well wishes and good vibes. I made it through surgery no complications. I went in to the OR and the thing I remember is my arms being stretched out and straped down, afterward I awoke in the recovery room. My sister and daughter told me after making it out of the recovery room, I took a 30 min power nap and said lets go walking. I've had very little and I mean little pain or gas.

For Dr. Garcia's patients you all will LOVE him and the staff. Everyone is so attentative to your needs before you know what your needs are.

Once again, THANK YOU ALL! I look forward to hearing your surgery story too.

I made it safe to TJ Samuel picked me up from the border parking lot. Tomorrow is my day :) I'm not nervous yet but I'm sure that tomorrow my nerves will hit me. Thank you everyone for your support.

My clear liquid days were not that bad I kept my goal in mind when cooking for my family then last night I baked a cake for my niece. I did not cheat on my clear liquid days.

I will report back tomorrow as soon as I can.

glad to hear you made it ok. My family is giving me a hard time about going to Mexico to have my sleeve done at the end of the month. I just need to remember that I am doing this for me and that not everyone will understand.

Best of luck to you on your journey and keep us posted on the post op.

I fought the same battle with my family for a while. I am going alone to Mexico here in a couple weeks. It would be great to have the support of family, but the lack of support hasn't changed my mind. It's just made me more determined. It's that mentality that will make us all winners/loosers in the end :)

Good luck on your journey!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
