I will just go through my day with you if thats okay. DH and i were picked up at the hotel at 7:15 and brought across the border to Dr. Alvarez, it look about 15 minutes. There were two others getting the sleeve this morning too, but they were both by them selves. Once we all met with Dr. Alvarez he asked who wanted to go first. As much as I wanted to go first I thought it ws best to let the others go since they were alone. So about 12:30 I was taken back to the OR and by 1:30 I was back in the room (at least thats what I was told). I woke up about 3:30 and soon after started walking. I now walk every hour. I'm not in any real pain, no nausea, and feel pretty good. I do have some pressure on left side but nothing unbearable.

Dr Alvarez, his staff, everyone here at the hospital are AMAZING! I had no idea you could be treated so well at a hospital and by doctors.

I'll post again soon and try and keep you updated on my progress.

As always, Thanks for everything!
