I'm scheduled for November 7th in Mexico!! I'm excited...my Dr hasn't mentioned preop diet yet....hmmm maybe I should ask??

I would ask and if he doesn't give you one I would go on one a week before. It can only help.

OK, all of a sudden I was just reading through my post-op diet again and just realized that my surgery is one week from today! I'm really getting nervous now. Especially for the days right after the procedure. Reading the post-op info is good and bad because you hear from those who had an easy time and a hard time...I'm getting a little paranoid about the potential for throwing up with the band...I need to just calm down!

What made you choose Mexico? Do you know anyone that had the surgery there? How much is it over there?

That is my fear the throwing up part, and my band slipping.

I did allot of research on surgery. I am self pay with no insurance so $$ was a big issue. I talked to many people and read lots and lots of blogs and after all that I choose Dr Kuri for my surgeon in Mexico. The total price is $5500 which made surgery very affordable!

Try to relax. Easy for me to say, im still a week and half away... lol but each person is different. it sounded to me like the most people that threw up were the ones that didnt always chew, eat slow and refrain from drinking with meals. i know i hate to throw up, let alone with the band. Best of luck to you. Im so nervous too, excited, scared etc...

1 week from today is my surgery date Nov 2 getting nervous as well just to think it is getting so close,my Dr doesn't put you on a pre diet until 2 days before but I have chosen to do my own from some of the diets posted down 6 lbs. this week and feeling good about myself. I do fear the 1st several months post op as I fear the throwing up . I tend to eat to fast and shallow before I chew it up well, been working on this since I had my 1st appointment hope I can slow down and relax. Best of luck to you all this post has been great for me THANKS senior in Va.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
