Any March 15th sleevers at Mi Doctor Hospital?

I'm traveling alone and will have my surgery done by Drs. Cabrera and Valenzuela.

Haha normally people reply so fast on here.... It looks like its just me and you on the 15th. My surgeon is Dr. F. Garcia. I've heard that MI Doctor isn't a very big hospital though, so we'll probably bump into each other walking the halls over and over. My grandmother is going with me, so I'm sure you'll see her around as well. She was sleeved here in the states in September and has now lost 65lbs.

I'm on the 16th with Dr. Garcia.

I leave on the 15 back home but will probably bump into each other at the Marriott if u come in the day b4 ur surgery

Thank you so much!

How has your recovery been? What was your experience like there and with those particular docs?

I am traveling alone and a little anxious. Especially since I've NEVER been outside of the US.

Do you think it would be too difficult to return to work a week post-op for an office based job?

I can't get a lot of time off right now...

Yes, I am planning to come in on the 14th. So we might run into each other. How has your experience been? What surgeons performed your procedure? How long did you stay in hospital?

Just got back today, had a great experience. I used dr. Garcia. He was very nice. Everything went well. Good luck all!!

I was also wondering about how soon to go back to work? Any suggestions ...

Mine was is great so far just the usual gas pain so make sure to walk even if u don't want to, I had dr Ortiz do my sleeve he has been great has been coming by every day to check on me, I have been here 2 days, 2day I go back to the Marriott for another 2 days

Oh a little hint on top of the safe in the hospital they have a sheet sheet with sentences such as " I need more pain meds or I need a blanket that go from English to Spanish just in case you need a bit if help getting ur point across but all the nurses on the 3rd floor seem to speak great English
