I'm scheduled for VSG with Dr. Fernando Garcia, on October 18th, 2013 nerves are really getting the best of me. I'm so anxious, scared, and just feeling uneasy. I know I need this tool; because I have lost and gain weight over and over, but I haven't figured out how to keep it off. Currently, I have asthma, Hypertension (I developed PIH) during my last pregnancy and it decided to stay with me, Of course; on top of that I'm obese. I pray for longevity I want to raise my daughter, see her graduate high school and college, get married and have kids. Today, I noticed I was breathing so hard and I couldn't believe how exhausted I got trying to shop for clothes for my brother in laws' funeral. As scared as I am, I know this is the tool of choice for me; I have to lose this weight before I develop more comorbidities from being obese. I'm also going alone; because I don't really have a support person. People tend to judge and feel that you should just be able to lose the weight. If it was that easy; I wouldn't be fat in the first place. The time is gonna fly by.

Hi,

Good luck and you should do well on your journey.You would really have to follow the plan and remember your stomach will be smaller.Your taste buds are going to change and you won't be eating larger amounts of food.So really prepare yourself for this it's an emotional journey as well good luck and you'll do good.I'm a patient at Balboa Hospital waiting on my surgery date as well.
