Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad you're home and recovering. I'm also sorry to hear about your less than stellar. I hope to hear more about your successes going forward. Amanda Rae

Well I'm feeling a bit more human. Not a lot of pain. Nausea way down and the staff here are all over it. They are helping me with my very limited Spanish. Dr. Aceves is so nice. Checks in about three times a day. Gave me an amazing shoulder and back rub to help with gas! Leak test in a few hours. Then juice and broth. Then shower!!!! Going to do some laps soon. Amanda Rae

Arrived in San Diego safe and sound! Looking for away to kill time... Tomorrow begins that giant leap towards a New Life, sleeved! Amanda Rae

Good luck to you. A safe and successful surgery. Amanda Rae

Out of surgery. Nauseous. Pain. Going back to sleep. Amanda Rae

I'm 1st surgery. Got my chill pill. Lets do this! Amanda Rae

Had a mini breakdown. Missing my family. I got to FaceTime with my hubby but my daughter is at school. Amanda Rae

All dressed up and ready to go... Amanda Rae

We're getting ready to meet Ernesto in the lobby. Then back to Almater Hospital... and to see my WLS team again. Then away I go. To the land of the sleeved!! Amanda Rae

A final big meal... That I couldn't finish because I got too full. Amanda Rae

I'm in Mexico. Preop testing complete. Getting ready for food and rest. Dr. Campos es muy caliente! Dr. Aceves has been amazing. I met both surgeons and my anesthesiologist. They answered questions. Honestly. Gave a very real and direct reality check about the sleeve being a tool and not a miracle. Did I mention Dr. Campos is super cute?!?! They sent us off to our gorgeous hotel in Mexicali for our last super. The Hotel Lucerna. Made a Sleeve Friend. My mom and her mom bonded. Time to catch some rays and relax. Amanda Rae

That's awesome. How's your progress so far postop? Amanda Rae

I was in ATL for 45 minutes on Thursday! Lol Amanda Rae

This forum has saved my sanity and has been a wealth of info and insight. I truly appreciate all of the connections made here. Zzzzzen. Zzzzzen. Amanda Rae

I'm going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Totally overwhelming week! Chilled, or should I say simmered, in the hot tub for about an hour. Cooled off in the pool. Now I'm going to cuddle up with my Kindle and go into "zen mode". I hope. Amanda Rae

I'm doing the sightseeing thing now. Pickup is tomorrow. Surgery is Monday. I've been fortunate to be able to turn this into a mini-vaca. Amanda Rae

Mostly clear. Plus we've been staying in Lancaster and sightseeing every where. :-) Amanda Rae

I'm headed down the coast today for San Diego. Congrats on making the leap! I'm looking forward to reading your journey. Safe surgery. Amanda Rae

Welcome to the Mexi Sleevers talkers and lurkers alike. Amanda Rae

PV and Cancun appealed for sure. I decided to save my extra money and apply to a post sleeve vaca to Celebrate a healthy body that will enjoy vaca more. Buuuuut. Recovering to the lull of the oceans' waves sounds like heaven.... Amanda Rae
