i arrived into San Diego at 8 pm headed to the the hotel and was out . Woke up the next morning and headed for TJ, they picked us up at at the airport and drove us across the boarded. 1st stop was to have are blood drawn and then off to the clinic (which might freak one out cuz its in a strip mall but it was very will ran and clean) We did are paper work, tests and were brought to our rooms to wait our turn for sugery. Surgery was done dont remember much of it, just remember the pain and the thought of what the hell did i just do to myself going through my head. 1st night was rough and had a hard time sleeping even with the sleep aid and pain meds. Day 2 we went to the recovery house, still in pain but they were really good at giving me pain and nause meds(yes i had nause bad) woke up in the middle of the night with nause so bad and it s hard to throw up when theres nothing in your belly but a little water and popcicles. Day 3 had to get our leak test done(the crap they make you drink is nasty). i was a little better still very week cuz of not getting in alot of calories, did go shopping for about an hour and that was enough for me. Day 4 the pulled my drain out(which was the weirdest feeling ever felt like i had worms moving in my belly as they pulled it out). then we were off to head back over the boarder and head to the airport to come home. i think we left the house at about 10 i didnt get to my house till 6pm i was drained got in bed and fell asleep

still not feeling my best i have nausa every time i drink, hope it gets better over time. make sure you sip your water slow cuz theres lots of air that gets traped in your tiny tummy.

 

Id like to thank Tamra and her mom Diana for helping me get through this they were a life saver since i went down by myself.

 

Much Love Kerri

I had Dr almanza, just remember that your not in the states and they do things diffrent then we do. i kinda freaked out when we 1st got there and brought us to a lab and when they took are blood they didnt use gloves, but at the clinic they always used them. other wise everyone there was great.
