Same as garcias. I read here that the liquid and 3 days of clear liquid was for RNY. Have you aske alma about that? I'd hate for you to do it when it wasn't necessary. Or me not to do it if it WAS!

You will love dr Lopez. He and his nurses are so cool.. Loved them. Tell Karen and Elizabeth hi for me. Don't forget the card that tells you have had the surgery so you can get discount or order off children's menu. And the girls will want a picture of you before you leave. The driver from airport to hotel is so funny. Ask him to take you shopping. And make sure you get some mexician vanilla.
