Soooo excited!!! (Yet groggy, lol)

Everything was so quick and easy. I don't remember a thing. I was the second today to have my surgery. There were only 4 for the whole day. At around 10:30 AM I was given something to relax me, and at 3:30 I woke up already having been in my hospital room for hours. I was only under for 35 min. But I still needed my rest I guess. Then I had my cousin call my people (family, friends) for me and let them know I was ok. Then I went back to sleep till 6-6:30. Then I got up and walked down the hallway. Climbed back in bed, had my cousin and Jesus set up my extension cord, plugged in my iPhone and iPad and I'm good to go :-)

I totally recommend Dr. Alvarez!! Not only is he fine! But he's sweet, funny, and good at what he does. His staff is great too! I'll probably add more as my stay here goes on, but for now I'm tired. Goodnight :-)

Thank you everyone!!! I'm home. Now, day 8 and feeling great!! Last night I cheated and my body told me in no uncertain terms that it was NOT ok. Take it from me, if you're thinking about cheating? Don't. Anyways, today I was hardly hungry. Had some soup and yogurt. My body doesn't seem to agree with most soups as of yet. But my tummy loves yogurt and sf pudding! Allnewme yes I was sleeved with Tami!! She's awesome and so was our other sleeve sister Cindy. I'm so happy I'm sleeved :-) 8 days and down 11lbs!!! Who could ask for more?

Glad you're doing so well!

Great you are doing so well. I meet Dr Alvarez in 9 days! He connects with his patients on twitter a lot. Yesterday I told him I was counting down the days!

Happy u r well, just do what Dr. A says and u will succeed.

I really did it now Im committed the deposit is sent omg! (I actually felt very calm after sending it)

I had a little freak out moment right before sending in my deposit. My surgery date is 1/18 and I know I am doing the right thing. Still, I will be glad when it's over.

Agreed I will be glad the surgery is done and I'm safe happy and healthy

You all are going to be great. U have chosen a great surgeon!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Best of luck to you.

How are you feeling now ? Hope you are still doing great!

Allnewme, I'm doing great!! Thanks for asking. I feel just fine, plenty of energy. I'm down 18lbs and I just had my first cup of coffee in two weeks. Needless to say, I'm in a happy place, lol.

Glad to hear that you are feeling good ! I tried so hard not to drink coffee after surgery. I waited over a month but I LOVE some coffee SO I caved and drank some. I am very much a coffee addict, be it right or wrong. I hope that you feel better each day. It is a journey and somedays are rougher than others.

Sleeved yesterday finally! Love Dr A and his awesome dedicated staff. Most weeks they work 7 days a week. We started offnina really sparse room but got moved this afternoon to swankier rooms. Much nicer in these. Surgery was swift, recovery has been painless so far. Today I am off of pain and nausea meds. No throwing up or anything. Slight cough from a dry throat and I am downing some ice chips as we speak. A little discomfort from the gas buttums seems to be helping.

In all a great experience! We get discharged early tomorrow. Can't wait to get in my own bed.

I would recommend Dr A to anyone in a heartbeat. It's not about the. Money, it's about the experience. He and his staff are really personable and warm. Down to Earth.
