    Default Finally Sleeved

    Guys it has been a long 3 years getting here but i'm finally sleeved.

    Dr.Almanza is GREAT! his entire team is very professional and attentive. I had no complications.

    Only issue i had was the gas, but walking and gasX strips soon solved that. There was no pain at all and they have pain meds on hand along with anti-biotics and nausea medicine that they issue on a schedule.

    I was sleeved along with 7 others that day so 8 of us total. 6 of which were guys !

    I 'm still at Hotel Ticuan which is really lovely btw. If you choose to stay in a single room be prepared to pay the 54 us a night fee. Almanza covers your room if you share. I wanted to be able to turn on the TV etc without worrying about disturbing anyone so i opted for a single room.

    I will post my full detailed review when I can. Thanks to you ALL who have been here for me from the beginning. Gonna head out and check out tijuana a bit today before i leave tomorrow

    Hearing that you are out walking around so soon after surgery makes me feel soooooo much better! You have no idea!
    So glad you're doing well!

    Yeh, for the most part the drugs made me tired. That along with the fact that i had been flying for almost a day and a half to get there made me super tired, but i was up and walking maybe less than an hour after surgery.
