November sleevers in Mexico?

[Tootie Smiles 1]

I'll be there Nov 20-25 Dr Fernando Garcia @ florence Oasis Hospital and Marriott.. Looking for others that will be there during these dates. Walking partners

hi

I am having my surgery with Dr Garcia on the 22nd at Florence. But we are staying at the Hotel Pueblo Amigo because I hear it is easier to walk around and they have a casino for my boyfriend.

Thanks, I'll be on day one. I'm coming alone. Nervous about that but ready for the change.

Update: Day 5 Post Op

The numbness in my abdomen is completely gone and now I feel the full effect of the surgery. I'm extremely sore but I'm able to get out of bed by myself and take a shower without assistance. I cannot dry myself off or bend over yet though. Riding in a car sucks. I managed to walk 1 mile today with a few breaks along the way.

Today was the first day I met my Protein and Fluid requirement. GENEPRO is a lifesaver!

I had a gas bubble trapped under my right ribcage today that took my breath away. I had my husband beating my back to try and break it up.

I'm still very tired each day. I seem to have little spurts of energy but then I crash again. I'm hoping by Monday, one week out, I'll feel better. :-)

Hi everyone! Just a quick update. Had my surgery by Dr Fernando Garcia yesterday morning. Everything is going good so far. Pain is tolerable. Should be getting my 3rd leak test soon. All of my nurses have spoken pretty good English. The Marriott is really nice.

Post-op girls: updates? How are you feeling?

Pre-op dieters: How's everyone doing? I would give just about anything for something crunchy!! Maybe by Christmas.

I'm doing great here! Getting out of the hospital today. Just waiting on the hotel shuttle to come pick us up. Got my drain tube and iv removed a little bit ago. Just getting used to drinking more. I get lots of gurgling in my stomach but it's not painful or anything just annoying.
