It took a while, but I'm back!

Hi everyone!

I'm soooooooo happy to be home. I had my nose and chin surgery on the 31st and was banded on the 1st. It's been a tough recovery, but I feel great!

Dr. Sanchez and his staff were wonderful! I only got to see the doctor right before surgery, but he was very nice. Dr. Cardenas did my ps and he and his staff were unbelievably attentive. Dr. Cardenas came to check on me in the guest house two times a day, everyday!

The guest house is beautiful, but I wouldn't stay there again for a couple of reasons. My sister went with to Monterrey with me and she woke up screaming one night because a roach had crawled into bed with her. I saw a lot of roaches, in the bathroom, in the bedroom. I had a hard time sleeping because I was so anxious that I'd wake up with a roach buddy in bed with me. Dr. Cardenas even offered to give me some valium to help me sleep. I'm a little wierd about bugs, uggh.

I asked alma to move me out of the guest house and I chose to stay at the Radisson instead. I had to pay for the room myself, but at least I could sleep on a soft bed, in a roach-free, quiet room.

Overall, my experience was wonderful!! I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Cardenas to anyone who is considering ps or a band. The hospital was beautiful and so clean and the nurses were so courteous!

I've lost 13 pounds and feel great! I'm so glad I went through with this. My face is still all bruised and swollen, but I'll post some before and after pics once it deflates a little.

Sorry for being so gabby, it's great to be home! Thanks for listening! :banana

Welcome back and congratulations, sorry about your bug experience, I hate roaches and would be doing just exactly what you did. So you had ps? I am heading to Mexico possibly the end of June for a tt and body liposculpture, I am so excited, and a little scared, but mostly excited. Everynight I stand before the mirror, buck nekkid and look at my nasty stomach and fat bulges on my thighs and back and think that they will be gone and how wonderful it will feel to not have to pull my underwear over my belly bulge when it rolls down over it, LOL I found a underwear sale in Dillards this weekend and bought a tons of really cute CK underwear, I can't wear them yet, but hopefully I will be modeling them soon. So how do you feel? Please post pictures, so that we can see. I'm so excited for you. How wonderful you must feel and you have already lost 14 lbs, that's wonderful too. Well wishing you a speedy recovery and keep us posted and please post your pictures.

So Glad your Home!

Dang, I never saw a roach the 2 times I was there, I did kill a ckicket in the dinning room the first night now that I think about it. That would have freeked me out too. I'll have to inform Judy, she's going down at the end of the month.

It was nice to meet you and chat about all the body issues and PS.

Congratulations 13lbs is great!

Congratulations, Isa, and welcome back! You have a great jump on your weight loss. The roach would have freaked me out, too! BTW, I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Monterrey last August and didn't see a single bug.
