3 days post op.. yahoo

[All done 36]

Well here I am in the recovery condo through Bariatric pal in Tijuana Mexico. ..I had my surgery Wednesday June 17th at about 4pm with the Dr. Zavalza team. I feel pretty awesome...

I started researching last year numerous doctors and finally made my decision in march and paid my deposit. .

I had decided to fly to Mexico to have my sleeve done.

I arrived Tuesday night and was picked up at the airport brought to the condo and had a good night visiting with another house guest and Johnny, 24 hour care taker.

The surgery and check into the hospital was fantastic. I was picked up taken to the hospital all the hospital documents were in English. .I was prepped and put in my room ..my nice private room with TV private bath. The nurses were wonderful...ah and Rosa was an angel.

There were 3 of us that day with Dr. Zavalza...I was was second. I remember very little...haha I was wheeled to the operating room and asked to move on to the table and the last thing I remember was seeing Dr. Z Dr. Luna and the Dr with the happy juice..I made some stupid comment about being greys anatomy cause all the doctors were so cute....lol then I was out!!!

I awoke in my room with Dr. Zavalza checking on me..I felt very high. ..I felt great. Lol let's just say I was having a great time by myself on the Facebook support group...it is not super clear but apparently most of the people werekkilling themselves laughing at me..so it'sgood to know iI had a great time..

anyhow I am now 3 days out. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday no complications. I had no nausea, no pain to speak of, some gas discomfort that I have been walking and walking and walking. My sleeve seems to be handling small amounts of broth, Jello, Water and some yogurt. ..I spent 3 or 4 hours walking the streets yesterday and I was tired but felt pretty good..

I can feeling the swelling of my tummy going down slowly so that is good.

I woke up at 4 am because I went to sleep at like 8pm haha and have managed to have about 5 ounces of water. Sip sip sip...lol

so I still have 2 extra days here because I did not want to fly home too early. I am getting my staples out today. Dr. Luna is coming over to removed them and go over my diet over the next while.

I am so impressed with the service of Bariatric pal. The support staff open our doors. .carry all our luggage and groceries. Check on us..24 hour service right next door in the recovery condo. It is more than I could have imagined.

Sob that's my update so far. It seems the surgery was so far away and then bang here we are...it's amazing how fast it actually came up.
