In Mexico ..OCC

This has been such a great experienced. I got sleeved about 2:00 yesterday. woke up and asked if was done. It was that simple.

The only issue I have had was going to the restroom. My left side was hurting. I feel much better now and I do get a little dizzy but they say that's normal.

I am very happy thus far!;)

So good to hear this tami! Happy for you!!

I made it to the Marriott and feeling so so. Very tried. My drain is okay not bothering too much. Ate just a little soup. Going to rest and hope to feel even better tomorrow.

Thank you all for your support. I get my drain out tomorrow and my leak test. I find it still hard to get liquids down. Just trying to take it super slow.

I do feel better than yesterday but still sore on my left side and tired.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Btw: Dr. Ortiz has such an infectious smile.

Take it slow! When you feel tired you rest. Once I made it home I couldn't sleep enough! Which says my body truly needed every bit of it. I guess all the anxiety and the travel finally caught up to me!

Hi I also had my surgery yesterday around 10 am , i woke with no pain at all and also asking if it had been done . The surgery itself was about 45minutes that's what my hubby said

This morning I am up and walking still no pain

I am eating ice chips and no hunger pains at all

I am still here in Piedras Negras with my awesome doctor , Dr.G. Alvarez and his amazing helpful staff.

Great for you :rolleyes: I was in so much pain for 2 days straight after surgery! I was kicking myself asking what the heck have I done. There were some others that had it the same day as me (1/19/13) that had a very uneventful time time. Dizzy is very normal! You just had a major surgery. I still get dizzy some!

How are you doing now?? :)
