stephanie1678 80 Posted July 8, 2013 Heya! July 25th for me! I'll be there at the hospital/hotel on the 24th though! btw, just wondering....which hotel are you going to be staying at? All of you guys are so lucky you're staying at the marriot! Totally unfair lol. I think patients of Dr. Cabrera and Valenzuela are staying at some ghetto one lol. Darn! We have the same date, different doctor though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulldog1973 88 Posted July 12, 2013 Hi all!! I was sleeved 7/3 by Dr. Garcia and am doing great!!! Walking about 2 miles a day and just getting used to eating like a newborn. I had some cramping in my stomach every time I ate or drank anything for the first few days, but thankfully that has now passed. I am already down 16 pounds (8 pre op) and am so excited about the future. 1 KittyLouSou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JpWill 14 Posted July 17, 2013 I was sleeved this afternoon by Dr. Kelly. It's early in the game right now, but I am very impressed with the man. I've had better care anymore genuine concern than in the states during past surgeries and visits. I'll post my experience soon so I can help others after me like I was.

PrincessSleeve 18 Posted July 31, 2013 No Sleeve for me. I went to the hospital today and my blood count was too low. I appreciate Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera for not doing a surgery on someone they were concerned about. Oddly enough, I am okay. Being healthy is best for me right now. 1 Oakleygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry you had to go through the hassle, PrincessSleeve, but glad you're o.k. with their decision. It sounds like you have a very healthy attitude about it. What's your plan now?
