I was finally sleeved this morning at ALM by Dr. Elias Ortiz. Since my arrival last night, the staff has been nothing but helpful and friendly. I am still at the hospital now, And I can't wait to be discharged on Sunday. Hopefully things continue to go well.

I was sleeved last week Monday (2-24) by Dr. Aceves & team. I am glad to say that I am feeling pretty good and back to work. I stepped on the scale for the 1st time this afternoon and was down 19 lbs.

I was sleeved 2/26 by Dr Garcia Fernando, I went alone through R4Achange. They exceeded all my expectations!!!! From the airport, hotel to Florence hospital everything was so well organized. All his team spoke great english and the care I received was so much better than anything here in the states. Let me not forget Samuel the driver, Eduardo hospital coordinator and Irene onsite coordinator(so sweet). I never felt alone in TJ. I will recommend Dr Garcia to anyone planning this trip.

One week out today! Nausea is killing me so I can't get a lot in, even liquid...any advise??
