I feel great just tired still not the same energy level yet....but stared protine and vitamins today so hoping for energy weird by my arms and legs get tired really fast. Also so happy I had it done I know I was scared but made the right desion the lb was not for me too many problems and also with the sleeve. I also know I made the right desion to not tell anyone but my husband almost told my kids when I came home but soo Glad i didn't I don't want them to worry and they just think I'm on yet another new diet lol I think too many people would have to much to say cuz of Mexico but no one knows all the time and resurch I did...even I think if I heard this from someone before I knew what Iearned I would think they were crazy anything I can help you with let me know btw my husband lost 7 lbs and is motivated by me:)

Hi bos123 Thank you for asking I feel better than I ever did I am Down 11lbs and just walked 2 miles. Just started my creamy stage and its going good. how did you go about getting a doctor set up for home I would like to have one just for a follow up or piece of mind? I don't know about insurance but ask your corodinator she should be able to help.

All went good I had dr corvalas I must say I am glad it's over I was very anxious in Mexico there was a language barrier but got through it . the hospital was extremely clean which was great to see the doctor came to see me before and after I was a little nervous because I was leaving on a Sunday but he did come in and reassured me all was fine. The nutritionist was very nice her name was Carmen and easy to communicate with I thought she was never going to visit but came in the last hour I was there and glad she did she was happy to explain everything to me. I got there on a Friday at 1 and was in surgury by 4 if it was not that fast I think I would have been freaking out a lot of papers to sign. After surgury I was back in my room I was very uncomfortable and scared every time I shut my eyes I woke in a panic thinking what did I just do I think most of it came from being in Mexico not at a hospital at home and was thinking what do I do if something goes wrong. I left on Sunday at 5 I was so nervous about the 5 1/2 hr plane ride being uncomfortable and also was experiencing diarrhea and they told me to get over border could take 3 hrs. Well it took 3/12 to get across and I was so happy to have another couple with us to talk to also I was told by my corodinator that I only need a license but you also need a both certificate so it was a little scary but thank god mt diarrhea had subsided and I just made my 10 pm flight finally got home at 6 am Monday and had major anxiety I thought my hand had a infection from the Iv I call the hospital and was glad they called me back and it ended up being just swelling. I have been I touch with the nutrishonist by email back and forth which is also a good feeling. I'm feeling better everyday getting used to this new life and looking forward to it. I made the choice not to tell anyone but my husband because I did not want to here all the negativity about Mexico from people that did not resurch it as much as me which made it hard but It is getting easier now that I have been home for a week. I am emailing the doctor today he told me he would give me a name of a doctor in Boston to follow up with (I had asked several times while I was there just for piece of mind) I'm hoping he gives me one. In the end it was the scariest weekend of my life.....but it is going to lead to the best rest of my life.
