please read everyones experience. this was just one person. Most of us have no issues. I was sleeved on the 8th had only one issue with one day nurse. This is her experience. I believe her and you cant take away how someone feels. I really believe most of us on here tell our story and are truthful. You will read 90 percent all good stuff. There was construction when I was there not on my floor but I thought everu room had a heater. Mine did with a remote.

Sorry you had such a bad experience. Did I meet you? Were you in the lobby with your Mom waiting to go to the airport while I was there for a post op visit?

I lov mexicali. I actually lived there for a year in 2004. I worked in El Centro at thr hospital. Enjoy good luck tomorrow!!!!!! You will do great

Wow Jay thank you. That was very good info!!!!

I do know Dr. Ponce he works a lot with Dr Vamboonen. I have been to obesity good bye center in TJ twice with other people who got sleeved with Vamboonen and Dr Ponce was there assisting in OR he was a really nice guy.

I used Dr. Garcia I was sleeved March 8th

Thanks Jay! That gives me great insight to what I am going through. I didnt pay attention when I did mine. I was in so much pain

What dr. Are you using Amanda? Btw they do surgery on the weekend. I was sleeved Friday and there were sleeves done saturday and a few on sunday

Good LUCK you will love Dr. Garica and his whole team! Dr. Luna pre and posr op doctor is awesome!!!

I wonder if its because its liquid and passes through the stomach quickly? I was kind of worried yesterday that wasnt normal. I did also read solid or mushy food will be different because the stomach holds it longer. I kid you not I drank 15 oz in about 10 min

I lied not crown point Mount Soledad in La Jolla, or mout Helix. Sorry crown point was in my mind cause I went there last week

Best place to go in SD for site seeing to get an amazing view would be crown point. Check it out! Its so pretty. Best beach would be mission beach. Best thing to at night is go downtown to the Gas Lamp district. Its packed with people walking around, shops, resturants, so much fun. Plus all of that is FREE haha

Have have been reading liquid is much different than food of course. I know your still on liquids like I am

Hi Jay. Love reading ur posts ur so funny. Question...... How much water can you drink at a time? I had surgery on the 8th. I feel like I can drink so so much liquid no problem.

You will enjoy San Diego! LA is so crowded for me! To many people. If you need anything while in Diego hit me up! Soon you will be sleeved! Good luck

Ill be there tomorrow at 10 to see Dr. Luna to get my staples out. Im sure ill see some of you!

Omg yes gas pain I swear I felt like I was having a heart attack I could not breath! By day 3 that was gone. Im on day 5 And feel so good. I can drink my water (dont drink laying down) and my liquids Im fine! You will get there tomorrow will be much bettttter everyday gets better

Welcome. I was sleeved the same day as you were! Where did you have ur sleeve done?

Haha I was there on the 8th the day you left to to hotel. I most likely saw you. Omg the part about the gas was so funny I just laughed so hard I think I popped a stitch lol. So so true! I agree with everything you said And think I had close to the same experience (minus the chest hair problem)

Dr. Luna was my favorite he was so nice! Im going to see him Wednesday for my post op Check up

I will add I booked 2 weeks prior to going paid deposit 8 days before

O sorry pre op you said. Really it depends on bmi just ask mine was 33 so I did one week some people have to do 2 or more. Once you confirm you date tell her ur ready to make the deposit And she will give you all the info.

I had surgery 3/8 the day you leave the hospital to go to the hotel your drain is removed by dr Luna (who is awesome) And you are giving post op info, meds, other things you will need to care for stiches. Dr. Luna will explain everything in detail to you.

Thank you all for the prayers And well wishes!!

Im doing awesome. Everyone was so nice. Internet has been down so I havent been able to update. Only problem I had was my IV my arm is all swollen. Dr. Luna, Dr. Garcia And the whole staff treat u very well. I have been very impressed! No issues. Just healing. Everyday gets better.
