hi everyone' date=' Finally made it into surgery at 7 pm. All went well. Tough night gas pains, but night doctor was great. Still getting occasional sharp pains, but it is less frequent. Pain and nausea control meds in my IV. On the road to recovery! Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers.[/quote']

So happy to hear you are doing ok. Please rest and keep us posted on your experience when you're up to it.

I'm settled in at the Marriott. Got here about 2pm...had a nice nap and a wonderful shower. Got together with 3 other sleevers for broth and popsicles in the dining room. Feeling tired but otherwise it is hard to believe that my surgery was only 50 hours ago! As of right now, I'm not taking any pain meds and am feeling fine. Still getting some gas rumblings but they are minor.

Amazing...no hunger or interest in food at all. Care at hospital was very good...will give more details later. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I am sleeved and doing great!

It's a beautiful day in Tijuana! I am feeling really good. Dr. Luna came to my hotel room around noon to remove the staples and put on steristrips.. The strips just stay there (no dressings on the incisions) until they fall off in about 5 days. The drain opening is different.must keep it covered and no Water on it while showering...then a little bit of wound care, but not much. BTW' I have 3 incisions and the drain opening.

I have been using a tablet computer for email...wireless is free at hospital and hotel.. I have used my cell phone for calls only...got the Verizon Mexico add-on for $15 month, but I'll only have it for a week so cost will be prorated.

A few of the women who were sleeved on Thursday went to Wal-Mart this afternoon...I walked around outside the hotel but took a pass on shopping.

Sleevers here will be dining at 7 in the dining room...broth and popsicles for everyone!

I'll be traveling all day tomorrow' so won't be posting for awhile.

Thanks for all your support! I honestly believe that you folks at the VST Mexico forum gave me the confidence to come to TJ and have surgery with Dr. Garcia. Thank you! It was a great decision!
