I had a good experience with little pain. I was nauseated immediately following surgery but that went away quickly. The pain was basically the first day but walking helped with that. Very impressed with the nursing staff at the hospital and Sergio at the hotel.They served many roles and were always available when needed. They all seemed to have very good English and that helped with the translations back and forth to the Doctors. They also seemed to be good coaches and cheerleaders.
The followup calls, texts and emails let me know that they are still around to help me through every step of the way.
My husband had sleeve surgery at the same time. He thinks men should shave stomach prior to surgery (under chest area and down to belly button.
Starting my 3rd week and looking forward to adding soft or pureed food. It has been hard to get 60 grams of protein this way. Still thankful of the Premiere Protein Shakes and sugar free popsicles.
