Ok, our date is June 24 with drs Cabrera and Vanuzuela-anybody else out there? My sister and I are flying in to San Diego on Sunday with surgery Monday. Love reading results on here-can't wait! Not really looking forward to per-op diet! :)

Hi Zoey - my surgery is June 21 with Dr. Ortiz at OCC. I arrive on June 20 and am staying at the Marriott. I am traveling with my husband, but I would be happy to be your buddy if you are at the Marriott?

I'm scheduled the end of July with Dr Ortiz, too. Would love to hear everyone's tips and experiences!

July 2nd with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. Can't wait to start this new adventure! My husband is going with me. Has anyone been told approximate down time? I mad only taking 10 days off. Is that enough?

I had my sleeve on June 10th. I'm a teacher, so im off for the summer but I feel like I could go back to work now. Yesterday I went and walked through the outlet mall with no problem.

I've done it I'm sleeved, Wanted to change my mind ( got scared during the ride to the OR) but I did it. I'm glad its over. I will say I had a good experience minus a breathing issue (low oxygen levels). I did have on night nurse that I wanted to choke she moved so slow and I had to keep telling her my IV was dry. Then she says she cant speak English. It hurt so bad, She does not need to be there alone EVER AGAIN!!! The drain removal was interesting no pain at all. I'm not in any pain but very tired my return to ATL took 13 hours. I'm home now had my1st full night of sleep and feeling ok. I must say Kudos to A Lighter me Janese and the staff were excellent!!!
