I'm sleeved in Mexico....

I'm done... yay... got out of surgery around 6 pm local time ( 8 ours) ... it went well. I'm walking around , farting a bit and burping. I did throw up twice , first time was the first time getting up for the first time - felt dizzy and weak and then  the nausea hit. was dry heaves and it was what i was most scared of , but wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.  

The pain isn't bad , feel my abdomen gurgling away ... am really looking forward to taking a shower today!

OMG OMG OMG!!! l didn't realize you even went yet!!  Sooooo happy for you (can I have your spot? lol)   you "sound" great !!!! and I was kinda sad you didn't make it to the M & G on Sunday but now I know why.   Take care and keep us posted on your progress.   WOW that was FAST!

 Well , I won't be using my spot .lol .... It's been less than 24 hours ... I can't get comfortable but everything is good ! I just feel like this gas needs to leave my body and I will be good ... I get to have ice chips today wooohoooo .... And I took the best ever shower 

Well if I was there, I would totally pull your finger.  Keep us posted on your progress there as I know there are so many who are considering taking the Mexico route.    Also we are roughly planning a M & G on May 2 (it's a Wed. evening - 4 weeks from today) so keep it in mind. 

This might sound dumb, but which surgery did you go with?  I am assuming the VSG but then I remember you were kinda leaning to RNY with Vergis.

yes , I went with the sleeve. I was signed up for the RNY here but the more I thought about it I wanted the sleeve.

I'm hoping I will make it to the next m&g .... evenings are generally better , since I work every second weekend!

WOOT contrats.   Walk lots, it really helps with the gas!

My leak tests are today! They do 2 of them... one where you drink the blue dye and they watch for it in your drain. The other is a contrast dye that you swallow and they xray you. I hoping they are all good.. I get to get the drain and iv out and move to the hotel.

They brought me apple juice and tea yesterday by mistake - I was to only be on ice chips and had about 1/2 the tea and a couple sips of the apple juice...man was it good lol.. even the ice chips are nice to have. I can't wait to have more liquids. I tolerated the liquids well. so yay

Awsome!  Hope things continue to go as well in the coming weeks!  Stay positive and welcome to your new life.

Things sound good..what a relief! How long will you stay in the hotel and then when do you fly home? (Im gathering info for when I book and just trying to set a timeline). Arent you just so thrilled that the surgery is over??

 I leave the hotel this morning for San Diego , where we decided to stay another day in San Diego to go some shopping and hang around the hotel.  I was so lovey dovey yesterday just do happy it was done and went well. 

It might have helped that the gas is gone and I had a great poop yesterday ! Lol
