so happy to find this topic. I will be having a gastric sleeve this coming July 19 in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Alejandro Lopez. I have mixed emotions, im nervous, scared, excited, but so anxious to get this surgery done. I'm only 32, 4'11 in height and im currently weighing 158 lbs. Not so much to lose but im battling with my weight for years. I got my husband's support days before I scheduled my surgery, but scared that I have to leave my 3 kids with my in-laws for 6 days. I know my in-laws will definitely take care of my kids, but im scared thinking that something may happen to me while on the table (surgery room). I just need encouragement, success stories to hear, good experiences in mexico with their surgery. I just need a friend. I have not tell to any of my friends or co-workers regarding this big decision i've made, and im not used to this. I dont want to be judged that i why i kept it a secret. This forum is my comfort zone and glad to find it.
