Oh my, I'm scheduled for Sept. 28th and.....



Recommended Posts

Anyone out there scheduled with Dr. Aceves on Monday, Sept. 28th? That's my BIG (or should I say small) day! I finally made up my mind. We leave on Saturday. I'm so nervous but I know this is the right decision. From what I have read Dr. Aceves is a wonderful Dr. and his staff is great too. Look forward to meeting some new friends and following our journey together.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Aceves on the 28th as well. We can toast each other with whatever pain meds they give us. I am really nervous so it will be great to know someone ahead of time. :001_unsure:

Sounds like Dr. Aceves' wing will be full with VSTers ... I think there are 8 rooms on that wing -- be sure to take pics and post them -- you'll be a larger group than Ruthi, Eyfura, CYates, and I (in June), and Bearded, SoontobeSkinny and Roseyandher music (in July) ... don't worry - the staff already knows we Gringos are crazy!

I didn't get to meet Eyfura while I was there. And once Vegas and Ruthi left, it was a lonely last day! I need to get down for my 3 month check-up before my passport expires, but work has just been sooooooooooo crazy.

Those of your traveling down, Dr. Aceves and his staff are fantastic! Good luck with the beginning of your journey.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
