Hi sleevers!

I am one week and one day post op today and doing great! I've been meaning to blog sooner, but I really want to think and mediate about what I wanted to blog about in hopes of helping someone.

I went to Tijuana, Mexico and had my surgery performed by Dr. Cabrera. He and his team were excellent to me! I know that many people go to Mexico and before they do, they, like myself, do countless hours of research about every detail. I don't like assume, but ...

Hi all-

I'll make this quick.

Had surgery this morning and have been resting all day. Have some discomfort in my left side and chest from the gas. Have gotten up to walk a few times. No complications this far everything is good.

When I return to the hotel or back home I will update with more deets s but right now I just want to rest.

Have a blessed one!
