Amytugs sleevy thread! Leavin 3/1!

5 days! FIVE!!

I'm so excited and ready to get this show on the road. Wrote short letters to my children and have my bags packed. Cashiers check and cash in my wallet, check. Gotta get the AT&T mx package and I think I'm ready!!

I'm going to Tijuana to Hospital MI doctor, and will be sleeved by dr. Garcia. I feel very confident in my choice. :). I have to wake up at 2:30 am to head out the door at 3:45. Gonna get to the airport around 4:45 and the plane leaves 2 hours later. I don't think I'll get much sleep thurs night. Lol

i started my journey last April. I feel as though I've been trough a lot to get me to this point and being so close feels like a dream. I'm not well off and I haven't been thin since I was 16. I just keep repeating in my head "things like this never happen to me!" And it's happening. It's really truly going to happen for me. ( well, lord willing). Praise god!

So I suppose this will be my countdown/update thread. )

I'll be happy to see u Bree.

Afa PMing, sheesh. What a ruckus. It's nothing honestly. I explained above. I'm much too tired to write up a thorough review so I just quickly sent a brief message. Scsleever did a very good job of describing things I mentioned that didn't write out on the thread. Dont over think things.

I think we could cut Amy a break... They just tore out her insides. She hasn't exactly kept her journey private... Hence the thread! lol Give her a few days, I'm sure she'll fill everyone in when she's up to it. We can be a supportive group but we sure can be a pack of wolves if we don't get what we want, when we want it! ;)

Rohler, I give you a pass since you leave tomorrow! Lol :)

Poor Amy! I'm glad that I didn't even check in on this website while I was in the hospital!

Sorry guys but I was to BUSY being in pain and really tired....

There were a few ants in my bathroom at INT hospital :) Other than that it was clean though, there was a window in the bathroom so I think that's probably where they were coming in. Thankfully I never had to deal with unhelpful nurses, that would suck. I would push the little button and they'd be there in 20 seconds.

There's no button.

I'm also on my iPod and my thumbs are going just as fast as they can. Lol. I hate typing out Long posts

Basically minor inconveniences mentioned above , ready for a change was super helpful the whole time and still are. Meli is the coordinator at the Marriott. Rosie is the coordinator at mi doctor.

Now that I'm back at the hotel feeling better and have been able to think on things, I'd have to change My rating to a 4 out if 5. Yeah. I do wish that mi dr. Was in a nicer part of town with far less honking. ( I e not right by the border. Noise noise noise)

Now can we all be friends again?

Any questions, ask away and I'll answer publicly. Since I don't feel like I got backed over by a truck now.

Oh and where there small children trying to sell you chicklets in the hallway when you where laying out there naked??

The taxis honk to let people know they are coming if they need a ride. There was honking going on the entire time I was down there from the Marriott to the hospital, lol! I was wondering what the heck was wrong with everybody. I just thought they were not courteous drivers

  • Author

Hahaha I was told the honking was angry drivers wanting across the border. I asked of the honking helps. Thy said no.

Laura I had to make myself not LOL right then. You should know better. Ow! You're a hoot!

Oh Amy' date=' I am so proud, you are one of us at last![/quote']

Aw. Thanks. :)

Is it silly that I feel like a stronger person after all this!?

But I don't feel different. Lol. Except the holes on my belly and the tiny sips. And super schnoz and I'm tolerating all things well. Gatorade cold, jello was Blech, water, although it tastes like bpa. Hahaha. Warm, cold. Maybe this changes when my sleeves swelling goes down?

The first thing I said was "was I really sleeved?" But I think it was drugs. I was up and moving all around and then it hit me. Bam! Aw crud. I should stand over the sink for a moment. And then maybe sleep. Maybe for 5 days. ;) no such luck.

Anyway, I'm at the mariott and a friend I met here and a vst er are supposed to go to Walmart but I don't know what floor she's on. She's a lurker. If you're lurking, please pm me. I'm all alone. Lol

Hey Amy I'm thinking of going alone. What did you do with important stuff like your passport, phone, money, kindle/iPad/laptop whatever while you we're in surgery? Anybody else? Thanks a bunch!
