Greetings From Tijuana!

[SexySlim 107]

I'm here!!! I will be sleeved tomorrow by Dr. Kelly. We arrived at the San Diego airport around 12 and the minute I turned on my phone Ana called to see where we were. She picked us up, Cecilia, Dr. Kelly's wife drove us around San Diego for some quick sight seeing. We checked into the hospital and while we were waiting in the lobby we met Dr. Kelly and he asked if I had any more questions. I asked him if he uses a drain tube (I got kinda freaked out reading about them on here). He doesn't. And I told him I'm the weirdo that wants a pic of my stomach. He remembered and then showed me that he had a picture of the remains of a stomach as the screensaver on his phone lol! We were taken to my room, and Ana told us about places we can go for some food (for my friend). We walked about 3 blocks down to the beach. It was beautiful. There is also a 7-eleven there. We ended up eating at a restaurant across the street from the hospital. I asked for drained Soup, but the broth had so much fat swimming on top of it I didn't eat it. I'm not really hungry, I'm just making sure I drink enough Water. I'm so excited, my surgery is scheduled for 10 am tomorrow. I like it here, felt totally safe and so far every one is great!

YAY!! thanks for posting this!! I will be in your shoes soon (April 16th). I am using a different doctor though... It's funny you mention a pic of your stomach! I was hoping to actually see my stomach!!! LMAO!! Guess we are both freaks!! Oh well.... I was going to go to school for Forensic Pathology so that type of stuff always interests me!

btw... I am about an hour from Landover! Right outside Hagerstown!

Make sure you post after your surgery! Would love to hear how everything is going!!!

Wishing you allllllll the best!!!!

Thanks! Yeah I really do want to see and feel my stomach but I knew that would be asking too much lol. I have a pretty strong stomach, I worked with rat parts in grad school and made rat brain smoothies out of them. I will definitely keep posting. I'm so excited! I guess the nerves will hit me when I'm stretched out on the operating table tomorrow.

I want to see my stomach too. My husband thinks I am crazy.

[Finding Myself 146]

Now you guys are making ME want to see MINE! Dr. Kelly is gonna wonder where we all got this idea! LOL

GOOD LUCK! I can't wait to hear about your experience!!!

[HeatherF 11]

So Dr. Kelly just came by and said there was miscommunication about my surgery time yesterday. It's not at 10 am it's at 2 pm. Pooh! So I have 4 hours and 45 more minutes to wait.

I'm sure you are sleeved by now. I hope it was uneventful and you woke up with NO nausea! I didn't have any but my poor sister was miserable. Sarah was such a great nurse, so sweet! Tell Dr Kelly Dianne and Kristy say hello! Now its time for you to start walking that hallway!

[SexySlim 107]

Hi everyone I'm sleeved! Woo hoo! My friend said I was gone for about an hour and a half. Everything was a blur. I dont even remember being in recovery. I just remember being very nervous and getting the injection in my arm and it hurt. I'm thinking oh crap if this injection hurts I'm going to be so sore when I wake up. I remember my eyes crossing and saying its working then laughing then I was out cold. I remember moving myself over to my bed. I didn't feel any pain just nausea. I felt like I had to hurl. They have been pumping me full of meds. Dr. Kelly came by and gave me my camera. He took two pictures of my stomach for me. It looked huge. He said last night was the worst part and I will feel better in the morning. So far I have taken two walks and had ice and Water. The Water doesn't hurt going down but it does gurgle.
