Surgery Complete-Feeling Great!

[920amy 409]

I had surgery on the 3rd with Dr. Lopez at Mi hospital, there were 3 of us. I am out, and at the hotel recovering. I feel surprisingly well! I have been pushing the liquids all day, and aside from vomiting my first day out (from not walking enough), I have had no issues, I did the blue swallow leak test, and the barium swallow, not complaints, and have only needed one pain pill so far today. We will see what tomorrow holds, but I am about 95% sure I am over the hump!

Congrats! Glad to hear you are doing so well. I'm scheduled for surgery today. Hope my recovery is as smooth as yours. Will be sure to walk as much as I can.

Congratulations!! I was there on Sept 10th with Dr Garcia. My surgery went great also. Just keep sipping your Water so you don't dehydrate, I saw it happen when I was there. You are on your way!!

I can't say enough about how happy I am with this whole experience. I think you really get out of it what you put into it. THe hotel is great, the hospital is clean, the nurses don't have the best grasp of English, but they certainly take good care of you, and understand. The surgeons are really great, I felt comfortable, and at ease the entire time. Abraham and Eduardo are wonderful too, they have been extra caring and accomodating to my mother who is here with me. She is terrified to leave my side, and wouldn't even leave to get food, they took time out of their busy schedule to bring food to ehr even though she didn't ask. I feel like I made the right decision for myself going through ALighterMe. Ronda was a wonderful suppert agent, always answering my questions, and I got a surprise, Janese is actually here for a short while, and I got to meet and spend time with her while I've been here. What a wonderful lady she is also! Feel free to PM or message me any questions, I know I was a little scared going into this whole experience, but coming out, I couldn't be happier!
