so i arrived here in Tijuana yesterday was picked up by samuel sr. He was a very polite gentelman enjoy the ride with him into tijuana. He brought me directly to Florence Hospital which i asked i thought i was suppose to be at mi doctor. Well he replied they told me florence. There i met with melissa sweetest girl ever i asked her about me being at mi doctor but she explain that they were over the limit for patient at mi doctor. She said sometimes when you get there they would tell you no room sorry ar tried to put you in a room with another patient who is not even the same patient for dr garcia. She told me doctor Garcia dont like the idea so that's the reason i am here at Florence where i get my own room more privacy. Yesterday i was here for about 30 minutes before i started my blood work n then place into a room. I was in my room for another 15 minutes before they did my ekg n exray n i was fully prep. I met with so many different doctors all was super professional n nice. They explain the whole procedures n what to expect. Melissa explain i might be number 1 or 2 patient. I was super tried so times after that i have no ideas. I know i was taken into the op room on a bed which they lined to with the op bed and then transfer me onto the op bed. I didnot have to get up n climb onto the operating bed as i think someone had mentioned before. In the op room i met doc luna very handsome man n there was another doc cant keep up with all the names super nice. I wish i could remember him name because he stands out:) oh did i mentioned i met dr garcia before the procedure he came to my room and explain the whole procedure very nice gentleman. The only thing i can remember after that is i woke up in my room and wow the gas pain. You can hear me crying from anywhere. I guess i was prepared but not that prepared the pain was horrible. I wanted to walk but the nurse was telling me not yet because something about anesthesia. Dr luna come n visit and asked the nurse to give me an injection n that really works. I was up and walking after every two hours. The nurses here are super great Anything i needed i got. As of this moment i feel super fine! Thank god. So thats where i am at this moment and finally on the other side. Yay me:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
