So i have been sleeved and i feel great considering!!! I will start from the beginning and work my way to right now. So i started out on april 10th leaving with my mom heading to san diego. The security check point was crazy i barely made my flight luckely it was a bit delayed in leaving. We then got to tx airport and had to practically run to catch the connecting flight, but we got there just in time. When we finally got to san diego i called Omar to have the driver Arieli come to our zone to get us. We got over the border with no problems and in about 35-40 mins due to traffic. I got to the hospital about 7:30 to get checked in for my sx the next day. At about 7am the next morning they got me up to do labs and a couple hrs later the chest xray and cardiologist did an ekg i think(not sure exactly). But all went well and was scheduled for sx at 2. They had run alil late but they came and got me at 2:30. I was all ready up til they told me i was ready to go, i started crying to my mom not sure why but did. I have been mentally ready for my sx for awhile never was nervous or scared just anxious!! When they whelled me back i was quiet and patient. They got me up on the table and i was told that they were going to start put me under all i could do was pray to god that he woyld take care of me and my family if any thing would happen, next thing i know im coming to and i have this horrendous pain in my stomach when i tried to breath and the more i tried the worse it hurt....then the medicine hit it was like a breath of fresh air!!! Lmao but anyways after that i just slept walked slept and walked til the next day. I felt soooo much better and i was getting bavk to my corky self. On saturday i was discharged and went to have my last leak test done and they said i had a perfect sleeve and was good to go. Btw no drain which i was happy about!!! Got to the hotel and from there hqve been out n about walking and sipping gatorade. I found out that gatorade does not go down easy as well as water but apple juice goes down smooth. Broth is awesome and goes down soso. Now im chillin n my room watching so tv with my mom. Tomorrow i leave at 8 am to the airport to leave for tx at 11am. Im soooooo ready to go home and see my babies(all of them).lol I am very happy with my decision to have this done with Dr. Illan and Omar this was the best experience and wouldnt tell anyone otherwise!!!! Sorry for the long update but wanted to let everyone know how great it has been!!!!

So happy to hear you had a great experience and are now on your road to recovery. I hope you have a safe and comfortable trip home.
