April sleevers in mexico

[CassandraCorner 16]

So I had my surgery Tuesday, through ALM with Dr E Ortiz! It was amazing the ppl here are so willing to make you feel comfortable as possible my surgery went great I'm and just now feeling back to normal!

[Juba 19]

Had my surgery last night, bit of pain afterwards but they quickly dealt with it. No nausea either. Feeling better today, up and about having a shower and walking my room and the halls so no pain with the exception of just dealing with the gas pain. Mine keeps moving from lower to upper abdomen. Glad I read these boards and brought my heating pad, it really helps. Glad I brought my hubby too because I don't know a lick of Spanish and the nurses don't speak English at all, he's my translator haha!

The beginning of my new journey, looking forward to it!

^{Having band to sleeve with Dr ponce de leon on Friday April 25. After two band surgeries, and multiple slips, I'm sick sick sick of the band. please pray for one and done. dr Ponce was very honest, and said he would not know if he could remove band and do sleeve in one surgery until he got in there and saw what he was dealing with. I will be at the Lucerna after.}

Well I have recovered from my car accident and I am ready to schedule again hoping they have an opening on the 25th with Dr. Garcia

So tell me is there anything that you didn't bring that you wish you had?

[O-Town Body Rock 148]

I brought wayyyyy too much. I only had a carry on but I still brought to many clothes, to many unneeded meds, I didn't use the heating pad I brought (although maybe I could've but I was too lazy to get it). I ended up throwing away my Spanish phrases index cards, I didn't need those. Just pack real light. I went alone and ended up having to lug around an 1000lb carry on bag!!!

[Kisha Mason 16]

im packing my bag tomorrow and packing as light as possible.

gas x strips

caftan

socks/slippers

draws

toiletries

phone charger

kindle

whatever i wear there im wearing on the way back!!

[JACKARAE 12]

I took three different ensembles and I ended up doing what you just said, wore the same thing. The lighter the better, less to mess with and stress over. Best wishes on your travels and surgery.

They also take you out shopping ( souvenir ) lots if cute little nick nacks, so save room for those

[mzjay 30]

It's official I will be sleeved 4/25 Dr Garcia and I might be alone who else will be there? I live in San Diego so I'm doing same day surgery. So excited I thought I was going to postpone surgery longer due to the car accident I was in but I'm good!
