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 :-)

status update how you doing

I'm doing great! I was cheating last week and kept throwing up as a result, and gained three pounds. Darn cream cheese and salsa! It slides right on down, no restriction. I have since lost this three pounds I gained. I'm back to a 19lb weight loss. It came on so easy, I realized this is gonna take a lot of self discipline. Surgery alone doesn't cut it. You've gotta change your habits. So I'm going to Overeaters Anonymous, and changing my habits little by slow. I'm still thrilled to pieces with my sleeve!! I'm happier, have more energy, and am no longer a slave to food. Praise God!! Thank you everyone for your prayers and good thoughts :-)
