I'll ask my dr.

Dang. I know you're turning heads!!

I'm 5 days out and not hungry. My tummy rumbles and k get that feeling of hunger but then I burp. I'd have to say that no, I'm not hungry.

Yay! That first night IS hard, huh? Isn't dr. Luna such a cute baby face!? And r4ac really is good at what they do. I'm glad I didn't pick different coordinators. I am home, and had the best nights sleep since this adventure began last Friday. Yawn I hope the rest of your recovery and trip are uneventful. <3

Please teach me how to sip without belching? I har huge bubbles in every sip, literally. So I'm going sip (craaack) Sip (blaaart) Sip (croak) So ladylike. Is there a trick or is it something I just wait out?

What's it like? I mean I've seen it in movies and I went to pick up a friend from an airport when I was 14, but What do I do!!?? I know you can order plane tickets online. I believe even from an app? If I go to our smaller more local airport I'll be on a smaller American Airlines plane. Is this bad? (For some reason, smaller plane = not as good to me. Not sure why.) I'm nervous about the layover mostly. How do I make sure I don't miss my plane, having never been in the airport or experienced any of this before!? Anything else I should know? I plan on packing light so hopefully I can carry it on and not worry about baggage claim.

I'd say 3-4 days. It really depends on age though, it seems if you're say over 40, you might have a rougher time. I'm 29 and it took me about 2-3 days to really feel myself.

I can't sleep worth a poo and I'm 3.5 days out. I'mhopin it's just ciz I never have been able to sleep on my back and of course that's the only way I can sleep. That and I'm all worried about dvt

Richler thts how I was the day I arrived. And tonight. I'm still exhausted but I'm a side sleeper and being forced to sleep on my back is proving difficult for me. "/ I'm praying for your sirgery tomorrow.

I think dr. Garcia and his team are above mi doctor, honestly.

Rohler, I leave at 6am in the morning and I haven't been able to sleep at all today and I'm plum exhausted. Im gonna have to pass on the pow wow but I wish we could have met. I pray you have a successful surgery and your recovery is speedy and not too painful. Muah

Now see. I was told to have a light Breakfast and nothin else to eat because of he PRE op testing being done the day I arrive but instead, I was taken straight to the mariott. I was like ain't that something? Lol I coulda ate. I was hungry too. Not anymore! I think that might be because dr. Garcia doesn't work Fridays??

Aha ha that reminded me, I did the same. She saw my blue peeking out and said "you have underwear on?" Me "yeah?" (All meek) She said "nooooo!" 0.0

But TJ is so dangerous!! O.o *giggle*

This thread has me Rollin! (As I sit here sippin Gatorade at the mariott 3 days post with dr. Garcia) I appreciate the op's view. Mine, like I said wasn't exactly the same, but everyone deserves to hear negatives. I also want to say that I think I know who the op is, but anyway..... About being naked- yep, we were. They ungown you after you pass out, and cover your chest. I don't know about legs. I asked the dr. This after reading this thread and it was confirmed. However. I don't give 2 craps either. And my HISBAND doesn't see me naked so that says something I was asleep and I was gowned when I woke up. Fine with me. I find it funny (yet off topic) that Laura ven strikes a pose in the middle of her brawl. Laura, you're a rock star. Palekania- me too w the blood. None of my sleeve sisters had that, but I sure did, directly after in the recovery room. And I'm white.

I'm 2 days out and I think mybe detoxing from drugs etc but i just woke up I'm a sweat from what felt like the worlds longest nightmare. I was in a hotel, but not the one I'm actually in. My kids were here and I kept having to save them from Dieing. (Quick sand was sucking up my son and I flew over him and pulled him out). Then I went home In the dream but it also wasn't my house. Lol. My husband had bought mice and rats and ferrets and I was sweeping all of the animals off tables really hard w my forearm and flinging them against the wall. Lol I think the dreams were freaking me out because also in a part of this crazy nightmare my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest and I kept going from floor to floor to find someone who would call the hospital but they all looked like something out of a Steven long movie and laughed at me so I had to find my way to the hospital. On my way I found a letter from my surgeon that said "I'm sorry, yes, the anticoagulant can cause pounding heart" Then I woke up thank god. What the??! I'm not going back to sleep for a while now. And it's 12:40 am. Sigh. "/

5 days! FIVE!! I'm so excited and ready to get this show on the road. Wrote short letters to my children and have my bags packed. Cashiers check and cash in my wallet, check. Gotta get the AT&T mx package and I think I'm ready!! I'm going to Tijuana to Hospital MI doctor, and will be sleeved by dr. Garcia. I feel very confident in my choice. . I have to wake up at 2:30 am to head out the door at 3:45. Gonna get to the airport around 4:45 and the plane leaves 2 hours later. I don't think I'll get much sleep thurs night. Lol i started my journey last April. I feel as though I've been trough a lot to get me to this point and being so close feels like a dream. I'm not well off and I haven't been thin since I was 16. I just keep repeating in my head "things like this never happen to me!" And it's happening. It's really truly going to happen for me. ( well, lord willing). Praise god! So I suppose this will be my countdown/update thread. )

I wonder if ketorolaco is the equivelant of Vicodin.

I have super schnozz now. Lol Maalox tastes like what cleaner probably tastes like and almost everyone has hate breath. It's just amusing.

I leave tomorrow. I'm in room 615, gimme a ring when you get here.

Yay!!

Hahaha I was told the honking was angry drivers wanting across the border. I asked of the honking helps. Thy said no. Laura I had to make myself not LOL right then. You should know better. Ow! You're a hoot!

There's no button. I'm also on my iPod and my thumbs are going just as fast as they can. Lol. I hate typing out Long posts Basically minor inconveniences mentioned above , ready for a change was super helpful the whole time and still are. Meli is the coordinator at the Marriott. Rosie is the coordinator at mi doctor. Now that I'm back at the hotel feeling better and have been able to think on things, I'd have to change My rating to a 4 out if 5. Yeah. I do wish that mi dr. Was in a nicer part of town with far less honking. ( I e not right by the border. Noise noise noise) Now can we all be friends again? Any questions, ask away and I'll answer publicly. Since I don't feel like I got backed over by a truck now.

I'll be happy to see u Bree. Afa PMing, sheesh. What a ruckus. It's nothing honestly. I explained above. I'm much too tired to write up a thorough review so I just quickly sent a brief message. Scsleever did a very good job of describing things I mentioned that didn't write out on the thread. Dont over think things.
