Man what a day! That was a heck of a trip! So far I give everyone an A+! If the hospitals in the US had it together like they do here we would be a lot better off!  The hotel here is literally like a spa! The pool is fantastic!! I wish I would've  known about the pool I would have brought a suit!  We got to eat whatever we wanted for our "last" meal and we had authentic Mexican YUMMY!  Later Dr Aceves is COMING TO THE HOTEL TO MEET ME!! Can you believe that? He was in a long bypass case today and wanted to make sure to meet with me b4 surgery! I am impressed with that. He will be here at 7:30. I had my blood drawn, urine collected, EKG, Chest Xray all in about  30 minutes. AND met with the anesthesiologist! He is great!!! They told me I can have 1 real "drink" tonite and gave me a Ativan! Whoo hoo somebody is sleeping good tonite!! :)   I will update after surgery soon as I am able. Thanks for all the prayers and shout outs! You guys are the best!!!

Be nice to nurses....we keep doctors from killing you!

Sam-  Great to hear that all is going well. So today is the big day will say an extra prayer for you.  I can't wait to hear about your experience not just today but over the next couple of months.  I am planning on going to Mexicali in December to be sleeved.  I am excited and a bit scared.  Enjoy and from a nurse a little post op advice- take the post op pain meds before you are in to much pain.  I am sure that you will do well and before you know it will be on your way home and to a new life.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping you were already in and out by now. Surely you may be recovering now. I look forward to hearing your update soon. :)
