Anyone want to be sleeve buddies? My surgery date is June 22,2013 In Tijuana, Mexico. I'm going by my self and could use a buddy to keep me from getting scared.

Hi Zoey - my surgery is June 21 with Dr. Ortiz at OCC. I arrive on June 20 and am staying at the Marriott. I am traveling with my husband, but I would be happy to be your buddy if you are at the Marriott?

I've done it I'm sleeved, Wanted to change my mind ( got scared during the ride to the OR) but I did it. I'm glad its over. I will say I had a good experience minus a breathing issue (low oxygen levels). I did have on night nurse that I wanted to choke she moved so slow and I had to keep telling her my IV was dry. Then she says she cant speak English. It hurt so bad, She does not need to be there alone EVER AGAIN!!! The drain removal was interesting no pain at all. I'm not in any pain but very tired my return to ATL took 13 hours. I'm home now had my1st full night of sleep and feeling ok. I must say Kudos to A Lighter me Janese and the staff were excellent!!!
